Tillo and HiThrive Partner on Global Employee Rewards

Gift card, rewards, and incentives platform Tillo has announced a partnership with HiThrive, a provider of employee recognition and rewards software. The collaboration aims to enable companies to deliver personalized reward options to their employees on a global scale. Through this integration, HiThrive's clients can now offer digital rewards to employees in over 100 countries via a single connection to Tillo's API-driven platform.

The partnership is expected to streamline reward processes for businesses, reducing the need to manage multiple vendors, currencies, and fulfillment methods. Employees will gain access to Tillo’s extensive catalog of over 4,000 digital rewards from leading global and local brands, offering greater choice in how they are compensated.

Tillo CEO Alex Preece stated that the partnership bridges the gap between global recognition and local relevance. Companies can automate rewards for milestones such as work anniversaries, birthdays, and onboarding, as well as for peer recognition and achievement-based programs. This aims to reduce manual administration and ensure rewards are locally relevant regardless of employee location.

The move comes amid growing attention to employee engagement, particularly within distributed and hybrid workforces. Research from Gallup indicates a decline in global employee engagement, prompting organizations to seek more scalable solutions for retention and fostering positive work environments, making platforms like Tillo and HiThrive increasingly vital.
