Appreciation isn’t one-size-fits-all.
You know recognition matters, but most of what you try doesn’t quite land. A generic thank-you. A company-wide shoutout. An award nobody asked for.
You don’t need a long process or a big rollout. You need a quick, reliable way to find out what actually makes appreciation feel real to the people on your team.
- A generic "great job" email Feels like it was written for anyone – because it was.
- An annual engagement survey 13 industry-specific versions, so terminology fits the day-to-day reality of your people.
- A 15-minute personalized report Team Action Reports give managers a shared view for open communication.

Common Questions About Purchasing
How long does the assessment take?
About 15 minutes, start to finish.
Can I take it without my employer?
Yes. The Basic Inventory works for individual use — you don’t need an organizational rollout to purchase a code and take it on your own.
Will I receive my results immediately?
Yes, your personalized report is available as soon as you complete the assessment.
How do I get a Group Report?
Once your team members have completed the assessment, the organization admin can generate the Group Report directly through the platform. The report provides an overview of each team member’s Primary, Secondary, and Least Valued Languages of Appreciation, along with their personalized action items.
How is Basic different from Expanded?
Basic gives you your primary, secondary, and least valued languages of appreciation, plus specific action items — enough to start communicating appreciation right away. Expanded goes deeper, with group reports and industry-specific terminology, and is built for departments or larger teams.
