How Telstra leveraged the power of recognition to become a more agile, engaged and connected workplace

January 30, 2023

Telstra, Australia’s leading telecommunications and technology company, employs 25,000 plus employees and has an international presence spanning over 20 countries.

Prior to partnering with Achievers, Telstra used a rewards and recognition platform for 8 years for peerto-peer recognition. However, with the rapid advances in technology and industry shifts, the needs of the organisation, and its customers, had significantly changed. New ways of working had exposed limitations in the platform and the opportunity for recognition program design simplification and digitisation of all recognition programs. Telstra wanted a high frequency recognition solution that was fully integrated and connected, reinforcing a global employee engagement experience.
