Today marks Employee Appreciation Day; however, most companies aren't recognizing their employees. In fact, according to a Bersin by Deloitte study, nearly 70 percent of employees say they're only recognized once a year or not at all.

In light of this, MeritShare offers an online recognition program for employers at no charge. MeritShare is also releasing the first U.S. heatmap of employee appreciation as well as a national recognition index that allows employeres to measure and track employee engagement.

"Employee and peer recognition is one of the simplest and most powerful tools to make work better,  says Travis Pearl, co-founder of MeritShare. "By giving more people the power to recognize, you can build a stronger and more engaged work culture. Our heat map is a motivating data visualization of the goodwill employees are creating, and our new data analytics and scoring components allow companies to understand their employee engagement based on action and behavior."
