Achievers and Quest Diagnostics Win Gold in the 2022 Brandon Hall Group Excellence Technology Awards

Achievers, an industry-leading employee experience software platform, announces its joint win of a Gold award by Brandon Hall Group with its customer case study of Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX), the world's leading provider of diagnostic information services.

This win, within the Best Advance in Employee Recognition Program in the Talent Management category, spotlights an organization’s workplace strategy and the approach to rewarding and recognizing its workforce to improve performance and business outcomes.

“Our customers and the success of their recognition programs inspire us every day,” said Jeff Cates, CEO of Achievers. “It is an honor to have our decade-long relationship with Quest Diagnostics celebrated through this prestigious award win. Over the years, we have been able to witness Quest’s dedication to creating a stellar culture of recognition. Seeing the dramatic impact employee recognition has had across Quest’s employee base is a constant reminder of the positive outcomes all our customers can have.

With Achievers’ award-winning employee recognition and engagement solution, Quest Diagnostics has been able to accomplish its goal of fostering a culture of appreciation while also consolidating all recognition, awards, and tenure onto one platform.

“When we relaunched RecognitionQuest in 2020—in the thick of the pandemic—we took the program to new heights with the goal of building a true culture of appreciation at Quest,” said Cecilia McKenney, SVP & CHRO, Quest Diagnostics. “The result was a more streamlined, user-friendly, and fun program that encourages celebrating everyday contributions and the value each employee brings, in addition to recognizing milestone accomplishments. We’re so proud of this program and the recognition from Brandon Hall Group.”

Entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts, and executives based upon these criteria: fit the need, design of the program, functionality, innovation, and overall measurable benefits.

“Excellence Award winners distinguish themselves through their growing understanding that all the functions of Human Capital Management are integrated and must work together to move businesses forward,” said Rachel Cook, COO, Brandon Hall Group and leader of the HCM Excellence Awards program. “It is a pleasure to see more organizations collaborating across functions and getting more sophisticated and accomplished at delivering measurable benefit through ground-breaking HCM practices. For example, it was inspiring to see how diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives are increasingly embedded into people and business strategies and cultures. This year, we saw more alignment between HCM and business objectives than ever before.”
