O.C. Tanner unveils new recognition tools: Company Store and Manager Store. SALT LAKE CITY, November 13, 2025-(BUSINESS WIRE)-O.C. Tanner, the global leader in employee recognition and rewards solutions, today announced the launch of new features within its Culture Cloud(R) platform: Company Store and Manager Store. These innovative capabilities enable organizations to further personalize, scale, and localize recognition efforts across all levels of the workforce.

Company Store is a branded merchandise storefront for employees to browse and acquire custom gear - hats, sweatshirts, and everyday essentials - enhancing identity, pride, and belonging across the organization.

These new tools are part of a broader capability allowing organizations to create dedicated micro-stores for specific programs such as wellness, onboarding, safety, or sales contests. Each store can operate on its own budget and point bank, enabling targeted, localized recognition for all. With the addition of Company Store and Manager Store, O.C.
