Free audit and pilot available

Recognition should run like an operating system, not a good intention.

Orlo Recognition helps organizations build consistent employee recognition through calendar ownership, manager prompts, participation tracking, and clear reporting. The free recognition audit gives organizations an easy first step, and the free 45-day pilot makes it possible to test the model before expanding.

Start With the Free Recognition Audit

The free Orlo Recognition Audit gives HR and leadership teams a simple way to evaluate where recognition is breaking down before committing to a broader engagement. It is the easiest entry point for organizations that want clarity on structure, ownership, consistency, and follow-through.

What the audit helps uncover

Use the audit to identify gaps in recognition ownership, manager participation, calendar consistency, visibility, and operational follow-through.

No clear recognition owner
Recognition happening inconsistently
Managers left without prompts or structure
Low visibility into participation and follow-through

Expected Outcomes

The pilot is built to show whether recognition becomes more consistent, more visible, and easier to sustain when there is an operating owner behind it.

More consistent employee recognition Recognition happens through a calendar-driven process instead of good intentions alone.
Higher manager participation Managers receive the prompts and structure needed to participate more reliably.
Greater visibility of employee contributions Recognition becomes easier to see, track, and communicate across the organization.
Operational structure for recognition programs The pilot reveals what a repeatable recognition system could look like at larger scale.
