Making Recognition Part of the Everyday Employee Experience

Medica
Medica is a growing nonprofit health insurance organization focused on creating a connected and engaged employee experience across its workforce. Since 2019, BIG has partnered with Medica to develop and manage a recognition platform that helps employees feel valued, appreciated, and connected to the organization.

The Challenge

As Medica continued to grow, maintaining a strong culture of appreciation became increasingly important. The organization needed a scalable solution that encouraged recognition at every level while reinforcing employee engagement and company culture.
  • Consistent Recognition: Create visibility into employee contributions and encourage ongoing peer-to-peer appreciation.
  • Manager Participation: Drive leader involvement and make recognition a regular part of the employee experience.
  • Meaningful Rewards: Offer reward options employees genuinely value to encourage ongoing participation and redemption.

The Solution

BIG implemented and actively manages the Medica Kudos platform, a comprehensive employee recognition solution featuring peer-to-peer appreciation, manager-led recognition programs, service awards, and reward redemption opportunities.

The platform gives employees and leaders simple tools to celebrate achievements in real time while supporting broader engagement initiatives and company-wide recognition campaigns.
