After our last update, we held our second all-hands meeting, marking our second month together as the Conello team! During the session, we brainstormed extensively on different approaches to recognition and rewards programs, and we also play-tested a custom company trivia game to celebrate our growing company culture!
This hands-on experience with our own team engagement directly informs how we’re building Conello’s platform, giving us real-world insights into what drives connection and motivation in today’s workplace. Not to mention, it was a perfect example of the kind of personalized, meaningful activities that the Lattice report identifies as increasingly important for high-performing teams (see below).
According to Lattice’s 2026 State of People Strategy Report, 69% of execs from high-performing teams see engagement as a top priority, and are 5x as likely to prioritize DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) over low-performing teams.
The report also reveals that organizations are placing a stronger focus on performance management while simultaneously working to consolidate the digital noise that has overwhelmed many HR departments.
At Conello, we feel we’re exactly where we need to be as an employee engagement platform to meet these evolving needs. These market trends affirm our mission to be as holistic in our offerings as possible, while driving us to develop innovative engagement features like Lifetime Rewards, which will allow companies to tie meaningful incentives to custom activities such as reaching specific performance goals, joining the company, or surpassing other milestone achievements.
