Episode 66 of the SWP podcast features returning guest and longtime friend of the show, Clare Moncrieff, now Senior Principal of Consulting at Workhuman. Clare and I dive into the unexpected but powerful intersection between employee recognition and strategic workforce planning — a topic I’ve become increasingly passionate about. We explore how recognition data offers untapped insight into culture, human skills, and even hidden networks of collaboration. Clare also shares how Workhuman is leveraging AI to elevate recognition into a strategic tool for driving future-focused workforce plans. A fascinating conversation full of practical takeaways and one that might just change how you think about saying thank you. Thanks again, Clare — always a pleasure!
