Why build nomination programs?

Drive engagement and performance

Peer recognition moments matter. These are the stories that stick. Culture shifts when nomination is inclusive, expectations are clear, and decisions are backed by data, not bias.

Easily execute better strategies

Award nomination programs lose impact without the right tools. Streamline workflows, set custom criteria, and automate communication to scale recognition without the administrative burden.

Managers now have visibility into real-time recognition, which makes performance reviews easier and more holistic.

Monica Gunderson

Talent Management Lead

Thanks to Christi and the Awardco Center of Excellence, we now have a strong thought partner that shares new and different strategies to help us further elevate the Americare recognition experience. We have tested the market, and this collaborative consultation and creative problem solving from recognition practitioners differentiates Awardco. In practice, it has built our confidence that we have business partners who are sincerely invested in helping us take recognition from being a perk to a powerful strategic driver that delivers tangible impact.

Sarah Mazzocco

Chief People Officer

Colleagues have to choose a value from The Collaborative Way when they recognize, making our recognition feed daily proof of why our values are so important. It’s such a powerfully positive place. Leaders are really taking notice—they want to see their teams at the top of the adoption leaderboard because they know the impact our values have on employee performance and retention.

Pam Johnson

VP of HR

Our partnership with Awardco's sales, implementation, and support teams has been the brightest point. They come to every situation with a solution and innovation mindset.

Director of Human Resources

I could rave to millions of people that I think this should be the platform of choice.

Ryan Zellner

Marketing & Corporate Communications Manager

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.

Heather Kent

Site Manager

The best decision we made was switching from our previous platform to Awardco. The customer service is excellent, the features are amazing, and we LOVE that they take our ideas and make them happen. They are always looking at innovating, which is one of our core values. We are extremely satisfied with Awardco and everyone here at The Nest LOVES the program.

Sara Beer

Director of Core Values

We do a lot of remote work activities where you can win something. We do a lot of these contests, and I used to go to Amazon and send a $25 gift card to the winners, but now I do it through Awardco. It's in the system, trackable, and much more streamlined.
