Kennametal Transforms Rewards and Redemption with Xoxoday and SAP SuccessFactors

A rewards program can be a way for a company to show appreciation to its productive employees beyond the paycheck, but rewards programs are not useful if the rewards themselves are not appealing and hard to redeem. Kennametal sought to improve its rewards and recognition program to acknowledge and encourage work that benefits its customers and the financial performance of the organization. It did so with a combination of SAP SuccessFactors and Xoxoday's Rewards and Incentives platform.
Xoxoday provided Kennametal with a unified platform that they could apply globally but also allowed employees to use their rewards at a regional level. Kennametal also worked closely with Xoxoday to ensure the platform met their specific needs, even down to company culture—aligning rewards and recognition to Kennametal’s core beliefs.
“There were things we challenged Xoxoday to do for us that maybe they hadn’t done with other clients, but now they can bring those solutions to other clients,” says Lippa. “We have a relationship to be a little innovative in how we are going to use the program and how we are going to leverage recognition for our employees.”
