QRA by LGP Take the assessment
A program for People Ops, HR, and culture leaders

Quarterly recognition that employees actually feel.

QRA is a structured, quarterly recognition program that uses curated branded merchandise to make employees feel seen four times a year. Built for hybrid and on-site teams of 100 to 300. Defensible to finance. Designed by LGP Promo.

Trusted by Microsoft and leading enterprise teams nationwide.

Employees engaging at a QRA branded merchandise activation

The problem with most recognition programs isn't the budget. It's that employees stop noticing them.

A pizza party every quarter. A generic shirt with a logo. A gift card emailed at year-end. The intent is right. The execution makes recognition feel transactional, not personal. People stop noticing.

The leaders who feel this gap most acutely are the ones managing hybrid and on-site teams. They have a budget, a culture goal, and no time to source, brand, ship, and stage a thoughtful experience four times a year.

That is the gap QRA was built to close.

What makes QRA different

01

A program, not a product.

QRA is a four-quarter cadence with a defined methodology. Every activation builds on the last. Recognition becomes a rhythm employees can rely on, not a surprise that lands and fades.

02

Curated, not generic.

Every activation begins with a pre-event survey of your team. The merchandise, the staging, and the moment are tailored to what your employees actually want. No leftover swag closets.

03

Turnkey for HR.

LGP handles sourcing, branding, production, staging, and post-event reporting. People Ops runs the program with a single point of contact. No project-managing vendors. No coordinating shipments.

Four quarters. Four moments employees remember.

QRA is delivered as a four-quarter cadence. Each activation follows a six to eight week production cycle, so your team can plan ahead and your finance partner can budget cleanly.

Q1
New Year, New Energy

Set the tone for the year with a recognition activation that signals what your team values. Wellness products, performance gear, or tools that support how your team does focused work.

Q1 activation
Q2
Mid-Year Momentum

Recognize the work that is happening between annual reviews. Q2 activations often align with team milestones, mid-year culture priorities, or summer-ready experiences.

Q2 activation
Q3
Back to Center

A reset moment for hybrid and on-site teams. Activations focused on belonging, in-person connection, and reinforcing the team identity heading into year-end push.

Q3 activation
Q4
Closing Strong

Recognize results and reinforce culture before the year closes. Q4 activations often double as a year-end appreciation moment, with curated products that carry into the next year.

Frequently asked questions

Do you only work with companies in Atlanta?

No. LGP is based in Atlanta but delivers QRA activations across the United States. Atlanta-based teams have a small geographic advantage on logistics, but the program scales nationally.

What if my team is fully remote?

QRA has a virtual-first version that begins with a digital activation employees can participate in from anywhere, then layers in an in-person pop-up shop at your next company offsite or all-hands. The structure stays quarterly. The format adapts to where your team actually is. We will walk through this on the discovery call.

How is QRA different from buying gift cards or generic swag?

QRA is a structured program, not a transaction. Every activation begins with a pre-event team survey, runs through curated product selection, and concludes with a post-event recap. Employees receive a recognition moment, not a gift, and the program builds over four quarters.

How long does it take to launch?

The standard production cycle is six to eight weeks from contract signed to activation day. A compressed four to five week cycle is possible for urgent quarterly windows. Compressed timelines have specific tradeoffs that we walk through during the discovery call.

Can QRA integrate with our existing recognition platform?

QRA complements platform-based recognition rather than replacing it. Many of our clients use QRA as the in-person reinforcement layer alongside a digital recognition tool. We can discuss integration during the discovery call.

Who do I report results to internally?

Every activation includes a post-event recap with attendance, sentiment, and qualitative feedback formatted for sharing with finance, leadership, or board stakeholders. The recap is designed to make the case for renewal.

Do you handle screen-printed apparel?

LGP's in-house production includes DTG printing, DTF printing, and embroidery. For apparel decoration methods outside those capabilities, we coordinate with a vetted production partner. We will be transparent about which method best fits your activation.

What is the QRA assessment for?

The five-minute assessment helps you and us understand whether QRA is a fit. You receive a tailored result with three concrete next steps. We use it to understand your team before any sales conversation, so the discovery call is focused on what matters to you.
