As an award-winning marketing agency with more than 15 years in business, One Firefly offers SEO, digital marketing, branding, and website services to technology companies across the United States. With a growing list of happy clients, 75 fully remote employees, and a new set of core values, One Firefly was ready to find a solution to help them improve employee engagement, connect their distributed workforce, and introduce a peer-to-peer recognition program.
When Tina Baker, SPHR, was brought on as the Director of People Operations at One Firefly, she was tasked with embedding the new company values across the organization. “My boss told me he wanted everyone to know our five core values by heart,” said Tina. “And the search for a solution to help led me to Motivosity.”
Since implementing Motivosity, One Firefly has seen a 92% participation in peer recognition for core values, an average eNPS score of 75, and a 23% average improvement on employee survey results for growth, recognition, and pride in the business.
“Our team loves [Motivosity]! It's engaging. It's very easy to use. I would definitely recommend it to my colleagues,” said Tina. “If I left One Firefly, the one thing that I hope my colleagues would say that I did well was bringing Motivosity to our team and championing the success of it for our business.”
Before Motivosity, the company had transitioned to a fully remote workforce and needed a way to better connect their disconnected employees. Plus, with the rollout of new core values, they needed a strategy that would help everyone learn, know, and live those values at work. In more detail, One Firefly’s challenges boiled down to two main issues:
After adding Motivosity, One Firefly saw a direct improvement in employee bonding, even with a fully remote team. And with core values embedded into their recognition program, everyone can praise their peers when they see them living up to those principles: Own It, Find A Way, Grow Together, Bring Good Vibes, and Speak Up.
Here’s how:
In just 12 months, One Firefly has used Motivosity to see fast, noticeable results:

With 82% participation, the eNPS survey is showcasing an impressive average rating of 75 in the last 12 months.
Peer-to-peer recognition is exploding at One Firefly with a 92% participation rate attached directly to the company’s core values.
Beyond peer recognition, every employee at One Firefly is thanked based on the company’s core values, highlighting the consistent involvement of all managers and leaders.
“If I left One Firefly, the one thing that I hope my colleagues would say that I did well was bringing Motivosity to our team and championing the success of it for our business.”
“If there is a top five list of things that I've done while I've been here for five years, I'd say that bringing Motivosity would be in the top five for sure, maybe in the top three.”
“Motivosity has provided visibility into different things that are happening in the business. We moved everyone to a remote role in 2015 and needed to figure out a way to provide visibility into what people were working on and the impact they each had on each other.”
“It's easy. Our team loves it! It's engaging. They love that it integrates with Slack. They love that they can go in and use their funds. They have this card that they can just connect to their Starbucks app and order their coffee through it if they want."
