Wellness Incentives

Inspire everyday healthy habits

Incentivize and reward healthy behaviours that help employees feel better, live well, and thrive —at work and in life.

The psychology of workplace wellbeing

Employee wellbeing is not a nice-to-have perk, like ping pong tables or a day off. It’s foundational to everything you're trying to accomplish, such as productivity, engagement, retention, and performance.

When employees feel supported in their mental, physical, financial, and emotional wellness, they respond positively. It’s as simple as that.

Testimonials

What our customers say

We’ve made myKudos [Awardco] a key part of how we work at all levels—whether you’re a people manager or an individual contributor. MyKudos is just as powerful when peers recognize each other, creating a culture of appreciation across the organization

I really like the fact that the company I work for, GoHealth, utilizes this program to incentive our team to help motivate us to perform our everyday job. They provide us with Awardco points when we're in training, helping us to retain product knowledge and also as an extra incentive to hit our metrics. Really an awesome program!

Being a nurse, I know that oftentimes it's hard to keep coming back day over day. It often goes without recognition or without gratitude, but Sunshine's given us the opportunity to empower our team, empower our leaders to have that ability proud that we've had such a high engagement of our team members submitting recognitions on the platform.

Recognition fits into our strategies for turnover and helping us retain good caregivers… because everyone wants to know how they're performing. They want to know if they're doing a good job. And sometimes we forget to stop and say thank you. Recognition helps us do that easily and consistently.

One year into having sunshine, our recognition, feeling like we're recognized went up ten percent. I think that's just a true testament of how much it means to us. We do have those hard days. And again, the Sunshine Recognition Hub empowers our nurses and team members. It's given us a platform to recognize, those moments of of excellence.

Awardco makes it really easy to select colleagues that you want to recognize, whether it's one, whether it's multiple. Recognition helps build trust with teammates and leaders.

After COVID hit we had over 1800 employees go remote. Our HQ campus became a ghost town. We couldn't do the high touch thing anymore, but still wanted to engage our workforce. Because of the nature of remote work, we didn't even know which employees were where, and there was no way we could use our old system of bi-annual distribution. We had gotten so much positive feedback with our service anniversary program that we reached out to Awardco to see if they could do something to help us with our bonus program.
