Yanik Guillemette, Canadian tech entrepreneur and Chair of Accolad’s External Advisory Committee on Technology and Innovation, has announced a strategic partnership between Accolad and the Barreau du Québec Services Corporation (CSBQ) to modernize employee recognition and benefits programs for law firms across Québec.
Through this collaboration, member firms gain access to a digital platform designed to streamline how they recognize and reward lawyers, paralegals, and administrative teams. The system introduces an automated, centralized approach to delivering incentives and appreciation initiatives, replacing traditional recognition methods that often relied on generic merchandise or manual processes.

The initiative marks a shift for the legal sector, where recognition programs have historically remained conventional despite broader workplace transformation. Accolad’s platform enables firms to automate reward distribution, link incentives to performance and milestones, support administrative staff appreciation, and integrate recognition into HR and retention strategies. The platform also provides centralized oversight and traceability to meet compliance and administrative requirements.
Interest in the solution is growing among Canadian law firms looking to strengthen engagement and retain talent in a competitive environment. As workforce expectations evolve, organizations are increasingly adopting digital tools that allow for timely, personalized recognition rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.
The platform includes access to a catalog of more than 200 international digital gift cards from brands such as Amazon, IKEA, Walmart, and Esso, alongside options from Québec-based merchants. This combination enables firms to provide meaningful rewards while also supporting local businesses.

Accolad’s goal is to make recognition faster, measurable, and easier to manage bringing it in line with the digital standards already adopted in other professional industries. By embedding recognition into daily workflows, the company aims to help organizations strengthen culture, improve engagement, and support long-term retention.
The partnership reflects a broader shift toward people-centered workplace strategies, where consistent and personalized recognition is increasingly viewed as essential to performance and organizational success.
