Workday Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY) and Achievers announced the launch of Workday Recognition provided by Achievers, an AI-powered employee recognition and rewards solution integrated into the Workday platform.

The offering combines Achievers' recognition software directly into Workday's human capital management system. The solution uses artificial intelligence to analyze employee recognition patterns and provide insights to HR leaders about workforce performance and engagement.

According to research from the Achievers Workforce Institute, employees who receive weekly recognition are 2.6 times more likely to be productive and six times more likely to remain with their company long-term.

The integrated solution allows employees to recognize colleagues and redeem rewards within the Workday platform. For organizations, the system provides AI-powered insights to identify high-performing employees and in-demand skills across the workforce.

Key features include the ability to identify which employees drive the most impact, create comprehensive performance records, and offer rewards in local currencies across 190 countries through Workday's platform.

"Recognition fuels engagement, and engagement drives productivity, making it one of the clearest indicators of a thriving workforce," said Ben Carter, senior vice president of total rewards at Workday. "By bringing Achievers into Workday, we're helping customers amplify those everyday moments of appreciation and turn them into actionable insights."

Bob Memmer, chief revenue officer at Achievers, stated that the solution "helps leaders see what great work looks like across their organization and gives companies a clearer picture of what drives results."

The solution is now available to Workday customers. Workday serves more than 11,500 organizations globally, including over 65% of Fortune 500 companies.
