Global Plans for our 2024 RGER Thank You Festival

It’s almost that time of the year again when we come together to celebrate our collective achievements and express our gratitude to each and every one of you for your hard work and dedication. That’s right, our RGER Thank You Festival is back!

Each year, our Thank You Festival aims to increase positive wellbeing, morale and engagement by providing a unique, memorable shared experience. Celebrated on the week of Employee Appreciation Day, it’s our time to send a huge thank you to every RGER around the world and show them how much we appreciate them.

Last year, our event focused on wellbeing as a means of appreciation. This year, we’re going back to its roots and placing a special focus on recognition as we launch our new internal recognition strategy. The week-long festival will be filled with activities, awards, and engagement opportunities to express our gratitude and appreciation.

Our Goals for the Festival 🎯

1. Promote a Culture of Recognition: We want to foster an environment where recognition is part and parcel of our daily interactions.
2. Celebrate Employee Contributions: It’s time to shine a spotlight on the exceptional efforts and achievements of our RGERs across the globe.
3. Re-launch "Appreci8" in Style: Our RGERs will get to experience the new additions to our recognition program, designed to make appreciation more impactful and meaningful.

Festival Highlights 🎉

As you can see from the calendar above, we have a full week planned. Here’s a glimpse of what our employees can expect:

🚶‍♀️Gratitude MoveSpring Challenge: Kickstart the festival with a challenge that promotes both physical and mental wellbeing.

💡 Appreci8 Virtual Roadshow: Dive deep into our recognition program with daily themes, showcasing the launch of new Appreci8 recognition programs, our strategic business goals, and more.

🎉 In-Office Celebrations: Join us for special celebrations in our offices from local experience managers.

🎓 Recognition & Reward Workshops: Employees can learn how to integrate recognition into your daily routine with our interactive sessions.

🙌 Global Virtual Guest Speaker: Be inspired by Olympic Gold and Bronze Medal-winning English field hockey player Kate Richardson-Walsh, who will share insights on how she built a successful team through recognition.

📣 EP!C Panel for IWD: Our special EPIC panel discussion in celebration of International Women's Day featuring our very own Hillary Snyder, Mark South, Nebel Crowhurst, and EPIC partner Lesley Stonier.

🎁 Prizes and Awards: It wouldn’t be a true RGER Thank You Festival without a bit of gamification mixed in. Employees can get engaged and participate in our Thank You Festival events for a chance to win awards.

Let's Get Social! 🚀

This festival is also about extending our gratitude beyond the workplace. We created this dedicated social card for RGERs to share their appreciation for those outside RG.

Join the Celebration! 🥳

We are inviting employees and our audience to tune in each day starting Friday, 1st of March, to learn more about the RGER Thank You Festival and all the ways we are celebrating Employee Appreciation Week. 

Let’s make it a week to remember by coming together to appreciate and recognize the incredible work we do. We invite you all to join in and spread the appreciation. Let the celebrations begin!
