Third parties say we’re first class
Experts don’t always agree, but this year it was easy. Three of the most respected analysts on three continents—IDC in the United States, Everest Group in India, and Fosway Group in Europe—all name O.C. Tanner as a leader in employee recognition.
For more about who they are, why they ranked us so high, and how other recognition providers fared, check out the reviews below.
As a market intelligence and advisory services firm, IDC employs 1,300 analysts to offer expertise and insights on technology and industry trends. In its latest MarketScape Vendor Assessment, IDC lists O.C. Tanner as a Leader more capable than Achievers and more strategic than Workhuman.
In its Rewards and Recognition Peak Matrix for 2025, Everest Group gives O.C. Tanner the highest placement for Market Impact, above both Workhuman and Achievers. The global research and management consulting company based in India positions Awardco in the middle of the pack with providers such as Perkbox and Terryberry.
Europe’s top HR industry analyst, Fosway Group, places O.C. Tanner in the Strategic Leader box of its most recent 9-Grid™ for Talent and People Success. Achievers occupies a lower box and Awardco does not appear on the grid.
