Motivosity has joined the American Society for Health Care Human Resources Administration's Preferred Partner Program, opening a new route to healthcare employers for a recognition platform whose rewards marketplace includes more than 800 gift-card options. The company announced its appointment to the AP3 program on October 1. [S01]

The arrangement connects Motivosity with healthcare human-resources leaders evaluating employee recognition and engagement services. ASHHRA's current partner page lists the company under healthcare employee engagement and retention, independently confirming its inclusion in the program. The announcement discloses no contract value, revenue-sharing terms or guaranteed customer volume. [S02]

Motivosity’s earlier customer spending guide provides a limited view of the reward budgets relevant to this sales channel.

The full set is shown below. The publication does not disclose when these observations were collected, how many customers contributed, their geography, the weighting method or the currency convention behind the dollar sign.
