Global Crossing (News - Alert) recently selected the Globoforce employee recognition platform for its own global employee reward and recognition program, which is known as E.D.G.E. (Employees Driven to Global Excellence).

 

Global provider of strategic, on-demand, employee-recognition solutions, Globoforce made the announcement recently. The program provides Global Crossing employees at any location in the world the opportunity to recognize each other for outstanding performance of their responsibilities that ultimately resulted in outstanding business results.

 

“Global Crossing’s success reflects our commitment to customer service excellence and the relationships we build with our customers and with each other as employees,” stated Neil Barua, chief administrative officer, Global Crossing. “Through the use of E.D.G.E., we encourage all of our employees to celebrate individuals and teams that stand out for their exceptional performance and commitment to our business’ goals and values. We are very proud of the effort and creativity that our project team has put into developing this program.”

 

Globoforce provides an advanced and robust online global employee recognition technology solution and is considered the only recognition provider to offer rewards that are locally relevant to all participants at any location in the world, using a multi-language, multi-currency platform. A recent Watson Wyatt study reported that companies that supported an effective employee recognition program saw a 109 percent three-year median return to their shareholders as compared to 52 percent for those companies that did not have such a program.

 

“Today’s competitive organizations recognize that strategic employee recognition is the next significant ROI opportunity and that creating a culture of appreciation has a measurable impact on the bottom line,” commented Eric Mosley, CEO, Globoforce. “By leveraging our powerful on-demand software, Global Crossing will have a simple, centralized process to reward employees in multiple countries with relevant, meaningful awards. Moreover, this program will contribute to an overall employee engagement strategy designed to reward employees who have contributed to Global Crossing’s overall mission and goals.”

 

Globoforce’s recognition tool is built on a dynamic J2EE platform and has the ability to scale from one user to millions of users easily. This gives global companies a powerful and secure solution for implementing and managing company-wide or divisional employee recognition programs. Globoforce offers the largest selection of local languages and local reward options in the industry to help customers overcome geographic barriers and to address the growing needs of a global economy.
