Awardco has allowed people to recognize their coworkers in a public way, and we see it every day. Collaboration is in the DNA of Alera Group, and appreciation is absolutely central and core to effective collaboration.

It humanizes our organization. I can wish someone a happy birthday in Philadelphia from my desk in Houston—because I saw it in the Awardco feed. That’s magic.

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.

Awardco is an excellent tool to reward employees and colleagues that deserve recognition for their work. It's easy to use and has just the right amount of customization.

As we try to build a strong culture, we want to take a more modern approach. Partnering with Awardco helped us to put that together. So even though we are spread out, we do get to feel like we are One Greenfield.

It’s incredibly accessible. You don’t have to be tech-savvy—you can use it on your phone, through Outlook, or even a Teams plugin. It meets people where they are.

We appreciate the user-friendly interface and the ample functionality of the platform, which has enabled us to better recognize team members as well as better support end users.

We were looking for a solution that rewarded folks in their own currency, and Awardco delivers!

One month later, when we received the High Flyer, it was such a nice feeling—a true appreciation of our work. It felt good to be recognized.

Anybody who is partaking in this program actually gets noticed and is brought to our attention...and I think that's wonderful.

The thing I like most is the ability to customize programs and recognize employees with and without monetary value.

With Awardco, we have now taken the work off of our plates and we're doing things that we've never had the time or the capabilities to do previously.

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 labor 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 program, but after COVID-19 most of our workforce went remote. Our semi-annual tradition wasn't possible any longer, nor was it feasible.

I didn't expect as much engagement around each other's recognitions, our company's spread all over the country, and Awardco has really helped people feel connected.

We wanted our recognition program to be more than just a platform—it needed to be a cultural cornerstone. Awardco made that possible.
