AI is the most advanced tool we’ve ever put in the hands of teams. But it’s still a tool.

What matters is how people, working on teams, use it to improve their work. Used smartly, AI turns recognition into the clearest live signal of that work—who’s contributing, what’s moving the needle, and where momentum is building. 

That signal matters because most leaders still make high-stakes people decisions with lagging, low-fidelity inputs.

In this session, Bonusly CEO Charles Hough shares how treating recognition as a data source enables AI to surface cultural patterns and performance insights you’d otherwise miss.

What you’ll learn

• Recognition quality: What high-quality recognition looks like and what it says about your team
• Continuous performance: How recognition data upgrades 1:1s, goals, and reviews from documentation to live, data-driven management
• Manager enablement: How managers can turn signals into better conversations and smarter decisions 
• AI First, Human Always: Where AI helps improve employee connection—and what should stay human 

This session is ideal for executives, people leaders, and frontline managers who want earlier, trustworthy engagement signals—and a people-first way to put AI to work.
