Since joining, I’ve found myKudos [Awardco] posts to be a great way to learn what others are doing across the agency. I’ve even picked up ideas from shout-outs that I’ve been able to implement on my own accounts. It’s more than recognition—it’s a source of inspiration.

We launched our The Collaborative Way initiative with a half-day workshop for all colleagues, facilitated by internal Collaborative Way Champions who travelled from office to office. We ran these engaging workshops across the company, and leaders would ask us, ‘Now that colleagues have completed the workshop, how do we keep these principles front and centre?’ While we developed other standalone follow-ups, it was only when we implemented Awardco that we truly felt we had a compelling, daily solution to that question.

Never underestimate the power of recognition. Years after I recognised a colleague, they still send me a message on the anniversary of that moment to say it continues to make their day.

Colleagues must select a value from The Collaborative Way when giving recognition, making our feed daily proof of why our values are so important. It is a powerfully positive space. Leaders are really taking notice—they want to see their teams at the top of the adoption leaderboard because they know the impact our values have on employee performance and retention.

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.
