Our History

Past

In 1974, visionary founder Werner Haase established a clear, timeless path for Madison’s guiding principles: be an adaptable, innovative and service oriented company that provides the most leading edge technologies and methodologies.

​

It was early on that he recognized the potential of merging technology with business trends, and the industry took note, following in the footsteps of a series of Madison's groundbreaking "firsts" within the recognition and incentives space.

Present

In 1995 Madison launched the first Internet-based sales contest, which was followed a few years later by the first consolidated recognition web portal application. Today, that technology has evolved into Maestro, the most configurable and flexible Social Recognition platform available today, which has, again, dramatically changed the landscape of the industry.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Madison creates cultures where employees love to work, learn, connect & succeed. 

 

As a global leader in Social Employee Recognition, Madison delivers intuitive and multi-faceted Recognition, Incentive, and Service Anniversary programs powered by Maestro, our uniquely configurable cloud-based SaaS technology.

​

With Maestro, our clients use social employee recognition to strengthen the bond between managers and their teams; and the relationship between employees and their companies.

​

​Madison is a proud Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company. Through our ESOP, employees earn shares in the company over time, creating an added retirement benefit that grows alongside Madison’s success. With ownership comes a deeper commitment in the work we do and the clients we serve.

 

Partnering with an ESOP company means working with people who truly care—because when we succeed, we all share in the rewards.
