Photo: Motivosity / ASHHRA [Motivosity](https://giftcard.news/company/motivosity/) has joined the [American Society for Health Care Human Resources Administration](https://giftcard.news/organization/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\. [\[S01\]](https://giftcard.news/rewards-loyalty/motivosity-ashhra-ap3-healthcare-employee-rewards-partnership/#article-source-1) 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. [\[S02\]](https://giftcard.news/rewards-loyalty/motivosity-ashhra-ap3-healthcare-employee-rewards-partnership/#article-source-3) ## A healthcare sales channel with existing reward budgets Motivosity’s earlier customer spending guide provides a limited view of the reward budgets relevant to this sales channel. Its March 24, 2026 industry matrix reports a combined education and healthcare group, including an average of $18 per employee per month in its gift-card category, $10 for peer recognition and $24 for spot bonuses. 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.

Source Motivosity: Recognition That Scales, March 24, 2026, industry matrix Company-reported customer benchmarks for a combined education and healthcare group, not hospitals alone or AP3 customers. Observation dates, customer count, geography, weighting, eligibility for each average and dollar-currency convention are not disclosed. Reward types and recognition programmes can overlap; do not add the rows into a budget or infer gift-card share. These averages are not a price list, recommended spend, redemption rates or effects of the October partnership.

The categories mix reward formats with reasons for recognition, so their values should not be added or used to calculate a gift-card share of spending.
