Why celebrate life’s big moments?

Recognizing your employees’ personal milestones shows that you see them, value them, and care about more than just deadlines or ROI. When people feel truly appreciated, they stick around, work harder, and show up happier.

We fell in love with the Awardco platform from the start because it's so simple, and yet it also has so many customization options to add to it.

Employee Experience Manager
Americare Senior Living
 
 
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.

Senior VP of Operations (Assisted Living Division)

Awardco enables us to celebrate not just big wins, but the small moments that make a difference every day.

I've used Awardco at two different companies in two different industries—not only is the platform easy to navigate, it allows you to customize it to fit your employees' needs.

We launched our The Collaborative Way initiative with a half-day workshop for all colleagues, facilitated by internal Collaborative Way Champions that traveled from office to office. We would do 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 center?’ While we developed other standalone follow-ups, it was only when we implemented Awardco that we truly felt like we had a compelling, daily solution to that question.
Kristie White
AVP Change Strategy & Organizational Development

Our goal was to make it easy to recognize employees and make sure everyone had access to that recognition in the most simplistic format.
Brenda Neuhoff
Director of Total Rewards
Staff greatly appreciate getting to choose their gifts from vendors like Amazon instead of picking from traditional canned corporate swag.

Our recognition was all over the place before. Awardco brought everything into one centralized, impactful platform.
Pam Buyers
Head of Culture at PMG
ARUP Laboratories
 
 
Soon after our implementation we created a financial recognition program through Awardco for managers and supervisors to recognize their employees for extra efforts. Now our managers and supervisors have their own budgeted amount to use at their discretion to award their employees at any time, and they don't have to wait for approval to do so.
Cheryl Vincent
Talent Development Manager

We're present in pretty much every continent in the world, and there's no limitation to our recognition system. We see recognitions from Brazil to the US, from Japan to China, from South Africa to France, and everyone is engaged.
