Marmon Foodservice Technologies: Driving Engagement and Retention with Bonusly
The Challenge: A Global Workforce in Need of a Unified Solution
Marmon Foodservice Technologies, a world leader in foodservice equipment, operates 10 distinct brands across the globe. Managing recognition programs across geographies had become inefficient and inconsistent, leaving HR teams burdened with administrative tasks. Marmon needed a centralized solution to streamline recognition, improve employee engagement, and address turnover for its 3,260 employees worldwide.

- Advanced Analytics: Real-time insights into team participation and recognition trends.
- Time Savings: Automation freed HR teams to focus on strategic priorities.
“One of the unique features that Bonusly offers that is phenomenal is the analytics. We can see which teams are giving the most recognition, which employees are receiving the most recognition, and how people are being recognized,” noted a Marmon HR leader.
The Results: Boosting Retention and Engagement
Since implementing Bonusly, Marmon Foodservice Technologies has achieved outstanding results:
- Retention: Over 50% increase in retention rates since implementation.
- Participation: Employee participation in recognition programs grew from 91% to 97% by the end of 2022.
