“We’re finding that employee engagement is a topic that’s quickly gaining more interest as a tangible business benefit from senior executives and chief executive officers,” said Eric Mosley, CEO of Globoforce. “Our research has shown that companies with strategic employee recognition programs are proven to succeed at approximately twice the rate of those that do not. Without question Globoforce has experienced an unprecedented rate of success in 2007. We’re confident that the same success will carry over to our customers as we help them unite their employees around a set of core values that will energize their workforces and lead to higher sales and profits.”

Highlights of Globoforce’s momentum in 2007 include:
Enterprise Adoption: In 2007, approximately 1.3 million employees worldwide actively used the Globoforce platform. The wider enterprise adoption has translated into a significant increase in total number of rewards delivered from 2006 to 2007.

New Languages: In 2007, Globoforce added three new languages to its existing platform of international language options: Hungarian, Thai and Turkish. The advanced technology of the Globoforce platform allows for the addition of any language in the world, meeting the growing demand of its customers’ increasing international operations and globally dispersed workforces.
