Employees are awarded a certain amount of points every month to give out to their peers. We encourage people to recognize not just within their team, but across the company—anyone who goes above and beyond or makes your day a little easier.

The metrics spoke for themselves—over eighty percent utilization and more than eight thousand recognitions. It’s exciting to see people using the program and finding real value in it.

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.

Through our work phones, we get an email when we’ve earned points, and then we can log in to see our total, explore reward options, and decide how we want to use them. It stays top of mind throughout the day—whether we’re driving or working at customer sites.

We were looking for a simple yet effective platform with a user-friendly interface, and Awardco ticked all the boxes. Through Awardco, we’ve been able to integrate multiple recognition touchpoints into one platform.

One of the biggest things we were looking for was a platform that's easily accessible for all of our employees. We needed it to be simple and intuitive, and not take a lot of training.

The emphasis that Kodiak puts on people and employees first is really unique. We're always looking for opportunities to acknowledge the important and special and above and beyond work that our coworkers are doing.

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.

And we've also tied that to wellness in the sense that, you know, every year, we encourage our associates to go get their annual physical. So part of that though is if you turn that form in, then you get Awardco points. So it's another way to tie healthy lifestyle to what's important to us in the bank to making an impact with our associates.

We needed something to unify our recognition programs for all our different locations, and we found that and more with Awardco.

Once we launched Awardco internally, we have received a lot of excitement and engagement from our employees. They are giving a lot of recognition and are excited about our new swag store.

Almost a third of our associates are remote. So while we don't get to see them every day, Awardco has provided a platform where they are very visible.

One of our employees needed their virtual gift card ASAP, but it had somehow gotten lost when it was sent. I worked with Awardco and they immediately resolved the issue and I contacted the employee with their gift card. I didn't know this at the time, but later found out that this employee needed that gift card to purchase something important. 'I needed this gift card to get an urn for my Mom who had recently passed away. Thank you so much for getting this to me so quickly!' Without Awardco's exemplary service, we may not have been able to help this employee in time. And that's typical of the service we enjoy with Awardco, whether that's surrounding gift cards or the awards we offer through the platform.

I love the customization of the platform and the constant innovation. There are constant evolutions and enhancements being released to keep our solution cutting edge.

Awardco bridges the gap by giving us a platform to build each other up. There are centers that are really far from each other that can now feel connected to everybody else because we can share the great things that we're doing.
