Free audit, digital tools, and pilot support

Recognition should run like an operating system, not a good intention.

Orlo Recognition helps organizations assess, structure, and operationalize employee recognition through a free audit, practical digital tools, and a free 45-day pilot. Build consistency through calendar ownership, manager prompts, participation tracking, and clear reporting.

Start With the Free Recognition Audit

The free Orlo Recognition Audit gives HR and leadership teams a simple way to evaluate where recognition is breaking down before committing to a broader engagement. It is the easiest entry point for organizations that want clarity on structure, ownership, consistency, and follow-through.

What the audit helps uncover

Use the audit to identify gaps in recognition ownership, manager participation, calendar consistency, visibility, and operational follow-through.

No clear recognition owner
Recognition happening inconsistently
Managers left without prompts or structure
Low visibility into participation and follow-through

Free audit access

Complete the audit below to review your current recognition process and decide whether the pilot is the right next step.

Free Pilot Program

The Orlo Recognition Pilot tests whether structured recognition operations improve manager participation and recognition consistency across an organization. It is designed to show what changes when recognition is managed with structure instead of memory.

What Orlo Manages During the Pilot

Orlo handles the operational layer that typically breaks consistency, creating a cleaner experience for HR and a simpler follow-through path for managers. These same principles also show up in Orlo's standalone digital tools for teams that want to start smaller.

Recognition calendar creationStructured scheduling of pilot moments across the 45-day program.
Manager recognition script preparationClear guidance so managers are not starting from scratch.
Weekly recognition prompts to managersConsistent nudges that keep the pilot moving on time.
Participation trackingVisibility into manager follow-through and recognition activity.
Pilot impact reportingEnd-of-pilot summary showing what happened and what improved.

Expected Outcomes

The pilot is built to show whether recognition becomes more consistent, more visible, and easier to sustain when there is an operating owner behind it.

More consistent employee recognitionRecognition happens through a calendar-driven process instead of good intentions alone.
Higher manager participationManagers receive the prompts and structure needed to participate more reliably.
Greater visibility of employee contributionsRecognition becomes easier to see, track, and communicate across the organization.
Operational structure for recognition programsThe pilot reveals what a repeatable recognition system could look like at larger scale.

How the Pilot Works

A simple engagement path designed to keep setup light and execution clear.

Step 1
Intake and alignment

Confirm recognition goals, stakeholders, manager group, and approval expectations.

Step 2
Pilot setup

Build the 45-day calendar, prepare manager prompts, and finalize recognition moment structure.

Step 3
Weekly pilot execution

Managers receive guided prompts while participation is tracked across each recognition moment.

Step 4
Impact reporting

Close the pilot with a summary of participation, visibility, and operational learnings.
