Success Stories

Turn appreciation into ROI

What I like best about Awardco is how easy they make it to receive your chosen reward. I selected a gift card and was given several ways to redeem it—perfect since I don't have a printer at home. I simply had an e-copy sent to my email! More than anything, it felt amazing to be recognised. In a previous job, recognition was rare, so knowing my hard work and dedication were noticed really boosted my confidence. Even a small gesture like this goes a long way in lifting morale.

We are very deliberate about the culture we have built. It is a constant effort every day. We value integrity and innovation, and we have a fantastic culture because of the people we hire. We have a huge team of truly talented individuals. They need to know that they are respected, that their work is impactful, and that it means a great deal to those around them.

Companies that invest in recognition are seen as people-centric. When people feel appreciated for their contributions and are truly engaged, they’re more innovative, more creative, and more willing to think beyond the status quo. This elevates work, fuels stronger business outcomes and can foster deeper customer relationships.

Getting buy in for wellbeing can be kinda challenging because we're all busy. Right? And so now go work out or go do this. And so partnering with organisations such as Awardco, we're trying to think outside of the box and create different types of challenges.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

 How will we prove Awardco improves engagement, retention or other business outcomes?

 

Awardco can help organiaations establish a baseline, track programme adoption and monitor recognition activity alongside broader workforce metrics.

Depending on the organisation’s goals, teams may evaluate measures such as engagement or eNPS results, recognition participation, login activity, points utilisation, voluntary turnover, absenteeism productivity, or administrative effort.

Awardco reporting can support the measurement process, but each organisation should use its own baseline and business context to determine impact. Recognition activity alone does not guarantee a specific retention or engagement outcome.

‍

What results can a software or services company like ours realistically expect?
 

Results depend on the organisation’s starting point, workforce, programme design, manager participation, communications and business objectives.

Software and Services organisations may use Awardco to support stronger employee engagement, more consistent recognition, improved manager participation, cultural alignment across teams, and a more efficient administration process.

The most useful evaluation compares Awardco’s potential impact with the organisation’s current recognition activity, employee feedback, workforce metrics and administrative workload. Relevant customer stories can provide examples, but no single benchmark applies to every organization.

How will Awardco engage remote, distributed and global employees?
 

Awardco is designed to help organisaations recognise employees who work remotely, across offices, in different countries or at client and customer sites.

Depending on the organisation’s configuration, employees can access recognition and rewards through mobile experiences, supported login methods, collaboration tools, email and other communication channels. Programmes and reward options can also be adapted for different countries, currencies, employee groups and local requirements.

Adoption still depends on a thoughtful rollout, relevant programmes, manager participation and consistent communication across the workforce.

How do we get managers to participate consistently?
 

Awardco can help organisations make recognition easier for managers through simple workflows, configurable budgets, reminders, automated programmes and reporting on participation.

Leaders can use reporting to identify teams or managers with lower participation and target communications, training or follow-up where needed. Organisations can also support recognition without requiring a monetary award for every interaction, depending on their programme design.

Sustained manager participation depends on leadership expectations, enablement, workflow simplicity and reinforcement over time.

Can we consolidate recognition, engagement, surveys and other tools?
 

Awardco can bring recognition, rewards, engagement experiences, reporting, and related workflows together in one platform, depending on the products and programmes an organisation enables.

This may help reduce the number of disconnected employee experiences and simplify administration. Organizsations can evaluate whether Awardco should replace, integrate with or complement existing tools such as survey, engagement, collaboration, HRIS or payroll systems.

The right consolidation strategy depends on the capabilities the organisation already owns, the workflows it wants to preserve and the level of integration required.
