Backed by research on employee engagement & more

Discover the research that inspired Greatify

As platform that increases employee motivation, performance and engagement, Greatify was not built solely on a hunch, pre-conceived notions or unproven “trends.” No siree! Greatify is actually the fruit of decades of research in workplace performance, leadership, team dynamics, human resources, and human psychology and behavior.

Here are just some of the works that influenced us to design Greatify the way we did. If you want to take your team management up a notch, digging into any one of these reads is sure to fan your HR flame.
