What our customers say

Ce que je préfère, ce sont les raquettes de pickleball. C'est bien parce qu'on n'a pas à les payer — elles sont chères.

We’ve always had some sort of recognition program, but never anything all-inclusive where all associates at every location were engaged in the same program—until Awardco.

I really appreciate that Awardco lets me use my points to donate to worthy causes. That flexibility—along with the option to redeem for prepaid cards or items—makes the program incredibly useful and meaningful.

Assistant Community Manager
Grâce à Awardco, nous avons pu créer une offre où ils peuvent choisir parmi une variété de cadeaux. C'est super pratique de cette façon. Ces cadeaux sont exclusifs. C'est créé juste pour eux. Nous avons fait des chandails, des sacs, des pulls à col zippé, des sacs à dos… nous avons fait des raquettes de pickleball.

When we implemented Awardco, we refreshed everything and synced all service dates to our HRIS. It works flawlessly now—and the person who used to manage that spreadsheet is very happy.

Avant Awardco, notre processus était lourd. Nos représentants passaient des centaines d'heures à empiler, livrer et emballer les cadeaux. Maintenant que nous utilisons Awardco, ils ont pu consacrer leur [time] ailleurs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can organizations run donation campaigns or match employee donations?
 

Organizations can use charitable rewards as part of campaigns such as awareness months, community initiatives, wellness programs, service awards, or employee-led causes. A campaign may award employees points to donate, limit the eligible catalog, or encourage participation around a selected cause.

Some organizations also want to match employee donations. A company match, campaign budget, or follow-on grant may be possible depending on the configured workflow and services, but it should not be assumed to be automatic for every donation program.

Before launch, the organization should define the matching amount or limit, eligible charities, campaign dates, funding source, approval process, and how the match will be recorded and communicated.

Can employees donate to a specific non-profit that is not already listed?
 

A customer may be able to request that a specific eligible non-profit be added or configured for charitable giving. The request may require the organization’s legal name, non-profit identifier, country, fund information, and other verification details.

A custom request is not automatically approved or immediately available. The non-profit must satisfy the applicable provider and platform requirements, and some internal funds, restricted funds, informal groups, or non-standard recipients may require a different workflow.

Customers should confirm the setup process, approval requirements, timing, and supported regions before communicating that a particular organization is available.

Can an organization curate the charity catalog?
 

Yes, where supported by the configured charitable-giving experience, organizations can select or filter the organizations employees can support.

A curated catalog can focus on a company foundation, local community, employee-selected cause, seasonal campaign, disaster-relief effort, or a small group of strategic nonprofit partners. Organizations can also choose to make charitable donations one of several reward options or restrict a particular award to a donation catalog.

Catalog controls and employee visibility depend on the enabled product and setup. Organizations should confirm whether employees can search the full available network, select from an approved list, or use a combination of both.

Which charities and nonprofits are available?
 

Availability depends on the charitable-giving catalog, provider, country, nonprofit registration, and organization settings. Employees may be able to choose from a broad network of eligible charitable organizations, or the organization may present a smaller curated selection.

A nonprofit’s inclusion is not guaranteed simply because it is legally established or familiar to an employee. Organizations should confirm the applicable eligibility, vetting, geographic, and catalog requirements for a requested charity before promising that it can receive donations through the platform.

The number and identity of available organizations may change as provider records, nonprofit status, regional coverage, and customer configuration change.

How can employees use Awardco points to make charitable donations?
 

When charitable giving is enabled, employees can select an available nonprofit or cause from the configured donation catalog and choose how many eligible points to donate.

The donation option can be offered alongside gift cards, merchandise, travel, experiences, and other reward categories. Organizations can also design programs that award employees points specifically for charitable giving, such as a service anniversary, wellness challenge, community initiative, awareness campaign, or retirement program.

The donation flow should show the employee the eligible organization, donation amount, applicable terms, and any confirmation or follow-up information before the donation is submitted.
