The Situation

As a public company with a global workforce of over 4,000 employees, Evoqua relies on its multilingual workforce working in offices and factory locations on several continents. 

Different workspaces and workflows make for different employee needs, which should all be taken into account to achieve a seamless Employee Experience. 

To keep pace with the changing demands of the workforce, Evoqua’s comprehensive dedication to employee care called for a new phase of nourishing its people-focused culture.  

We’ve identified several major areas to target in order to accomplish an aligned, engaged and agile workforce across continents and company locations:

  • not all employees have corporate emails, hourly employees need to be included in the rewards and recognition process as well
  • the variety of locale and language across 9 countries makes communicating corporate values for multilingual workforce a challenge
  • maximum alignment and integrability of HR tech tools for increased scalability and reporting functions

Therefore, the major goal was to increase employee engagement and equally include the entirety of its workforce into a rewards and recognition program, regardless of the employees’ location and method of work, using the latest HR tech solution that’s progressive, integrable and scalable.

The Solution

The challenge to boost Evoqua’s people culture with a Rewards and Recognition tool was gleefully taken on by Semos Cloud’s teams. 

To accomplish easily accessible rewards to all employees, Semos Cloud delivered a custom-made solution that allows sending and receiving recognition via employees’ private emails, so everybody is included. 

Further on, Semos Cloud’s JobPts helped Evoqua achieve its company aims by incorporating the following elements into its comprehensive solution:

  • Program utilization report – a smart reporting system that showcases recognition dynamics across departments and various divisions of the company. 
  • Sender approval – allows managers control over who sends what kinds of recognitions
  • New hire Messages – automated and custom-made to mark the crucial Moments that Matter – company has option to choose who and what departments across the company receive it
  • The solution also features other Moments that Matter, such as the automated and customized service anniversary emails, as well as the corresponding points rewards, marking the 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years of service.  
  • All emails sent within the culture and recognition platform are translated into 4 languages 
  • a multi-faceted recognition program comprising monetary, non-monetary, and pay-out recognition programs, that can be further customized to fit the changing needs of the company 
  • comprehensive reporting options due to solution being directly connected to HRIS – making all changes in company immediately visible to managers across teams, divisions, departments
  • Introducing peer-to-peer recognition 
  • Cash- and points-based systems of recognition, depending on current needs

Currently, all Evoqua employees receive rewards and recognition through varied communication channels that are most accessible to them. The company values are communicated across the workforce, strengthening inclusion of all Evoqua employees.
