Recognition that yields results

WOW! mobile boutique
Awardco actually cost us less than what we were doing in the past, and it's had a bigger impact on our ROI and employee engagement.
Jay Adhvaryu
Director of Finance and Compliance
Percepta
The Awardco platform enables us to reach our global employee base (4,500 and growing) easily and effectively.
Tammy Godby
Senior Manager of Global Organizational Development
America First Credit Union
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.
Jodi Gonzales
HR Manager
We now have a unified rewards platform that comes with the needed accounting reporting for tax purposes.
Keith M.
Americare Senior Living
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
Lockton
With the rollout of Awardco last fall, Lockton has made recognizing others easier, more meaningful, and way more fun. I am HONORED (and blown away!) to be named one of the top recognition recipients since we launched the platform! This isn’t just an award — it’s a reflection of the incredible people I get to work with every day.
Tisa Penny
Engagement & Events Lead, 2025 Recognition Rockstar Winner
First Choice Health
Before we had Awardco I'd have to send out physical cards, anniversary pins, and certificates manually via our in-house mailroom or the Post Office. I was happy to do it but it did take a lot of time to keep track of everything, and it was a challenge to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Now I can look at my calendar and see the upcoming service anniversaries and feel confident that they'll be taken care of.
