Boston and Toronto, February 21, 2011: I Love Rewards, the leader in employee rewards and recognition solutions, announces today its webinar on March 1st at 1pm ET, Recognition 3.0. The webinar will provide insight on employee recognition’s evolution and how companies can level up their recognition strategy in conjunction with their business strategy to have the competitive advantage in today’s economy. The webinar will feature Paul Hebert, Managing Director, I2I, and Brent Lowe, VP of Employee Experience at I Love Rewards.

“Our social networks are no longer bound by the people we see in real life every day,” said Paul Hebert, Managing Director, I2I. “In fact, we have more interaction with people we exchange bits and bytes with than those we exchange hallway pleasantries. Recognition must take that into account to be relevant now, and more importantly, to be relevant in the near future. Recognition needs to extend outside the corporate firewall.”
