Success Stories

Turn appreciation into ROI

PMG
The ability to customise the platform and call it 'MyKUDOS' made it feel like a true extension of our brand and culture.
Pam Buyers
Head of Culture at PMG

Previously every manager hand-wrote a message to their employees every six months thanking them for their hard work, and it was all tied in with the bonus distribution. It was very high-touch, very labour intensive, and we had the process down to a science. We liked the connections that formed between managers and employees as a result of this programme, but after COVID-19 most of our workforce went remote. Our semi-annual tradition wasn't possible any longer, nor was it feasible.

Awardo is amazing! Such a great vendor to work with. Customer Service is exceptional and my employees love the platform. Our engagement has increased because of Awardco.

I try to express appreciation vocally and in Slack, but the visibility that comes from an official kudos [Awardco] post really takes it to the next level. It ensures that great work doesn't go unnoticed, and I’m making it a point to use the shoutout feature even more across my teams.

We now have complete visibility into budgetary usage and recognitions. Before, nobody could see recognitions at all—it was always done on a small scale, one-on-one from manager to employee. Now everyone in the company can see the successes of others and celebrate those with them, and we can see how managers are using the funds we've given them. Our budgets have equalized almost entirely—down to the dollar.

I love the simplicity of the programme and the ease of taxes. We were really worried about that, but it's been really easy.

Implementation was super simple, and the Awardco team was prompt with help and provided plenty of training. After only a couple of weeks, I was able to do most things on my own, which was great.

When employees feel seen and appreciated, they’re more engaged and engagement drives performance. Using Awardco helps leaders and managers recognise impact in real time and that momentum drives continued and lasting success.
