HR Research Institute
What separates a VTO program that moves the needle from one that just exists?
Top-quartile programs share three traits: employees can discover and book opportunities without friction, managers can approve and track without spreadsheets, and HR can pull an impact report in under five minutes.
Benevity's research shows that when employees have more ways to participate — company-created and self-directed — engagement increases on average 12x. The bottleneck isn't motivation. It's infrastructure.
The participation gap
OpenX achieved 81% global employee engagement after implementing a dedicated VTO platform.
Not all VTO solutions are equal.
