How Cubic Unified Global Recognition Across 5 Continents with Nectar

100,000 + Shoutouts in 2023

97% of Employees Recognized

20 Countries Connected Worldwide

Challenges

Before Nectar, Cubic's employee recognition was inconsistent due to regionally managed, ad hoc programs. Using spreadsheets for rewards, tenure, and retirement recognitions created a decentralized approach, making it hard to ensure meaningful, consistent recognition globally. The lack of alignment with core values and manual, labor-intensive processes led to missed opportunities and low engagement.

Solution

Cubic chose Nectar as their platform to address these challenges and consolidate their recognition programs into one centralized system. Nectar provided a global solution that allowed Cubic to retire their legacy programs and redirect resources into a unified platform. Nectar’s ability to use hashtags aligned with company values ensured that every shout-out reinforced the behaviors that Cubic wanted to promote.

Success

Nectar’s introduction at Cubic led to over 100,000 shout-outs in 2023 with a 97% participation rate. It unified recognition programs across 5 continents and 20 countries, ensuring all employees felt valued.

High participation and positive feedback reflected strong satisfaction, while Nectar fostered better communication and a sense of community. Overall, it created a more inclusive and engaged work environment.
