Employee engagement
Rewards and recognition
The Very Group — formerly Shop Direct — transformed from a catalogue business into a major digital retailer. Today, 4,700 employees help deliver over 50 million products across the UK and Ireland. As the company evolved, leaders saw an opportunity to build a stronger connection with their people through recognition, driving higher engagement, and supporting their growing online success.
Bringing purpose to life with recognition
The Very Group chose Achievers to help connect every employee to their purpose — making good things accessible to more people. With a digital-first platform, they created a recognition experience that reached every team member, online and offline.
In 2014, they launched Shine alongside Achievers, and the results were undeniable. In The Very Group customer story, we explore why recognition proved to be the key to creating a purpose-driven culture — from a 97% activation rate to taking home a prestigious industry award.
