ecoDynamics Group: Building an engaged workforce
With dispersed teams across multiple divisions, ecoDynamics Group, Australia’s largest commercial landscaping business, faced the challenge of unifying its workforce and fostering a sense of appreciation. Lisa Cole, Marketing and Social Procurement Manager, recognised the need to create a cohesive culture of recognition and reward, leading her to implement Perkbox as a solution.
“There wasn’t one platform to connect our teams across the divisions. My goal was to foster a group culture where we could all communicate, reward, and recognise each other,” Lisa shared.
Perkbox’s reward and recognition feature became a central tool for fostering appreciation, enabling employees across different locations to recognise one another quickly and easily. The result? An 88% activation rate in just three months, with over 70 recognitions shared during that time. Employees, from the field to the office, now regularly participate in recognition, breaking down the silos between divisions.
“It’s created a culture where people feel valued. Employees are tagging their team members and genuinely enjoy recognising each other. It’s made everyone feel connected and appreciated.”
Perkbox’s reward feature has also streamlined the reward process, giving employees the autonomy to choose rewards that are meaningful to them, while allowing leadership to maintain transparency and control.
“Previously, rewards were inconsistent across divisions. Now, with Perkbox, managers can allocate reward points, and employees can choose how to spend them. It’s simplified the process and made rewards more personal.”
By using Perkbox, ecoDynamics has not only strengthened its Employee Value Proposition (EVP) but also cultivated a culture of appreciation and recognition, helping to keep employees engaged and motivated, no matter where they are based.
