What our customers say

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
WebPT
I cannot tell you what a relief it was to be able to integrate metadata from our HRIS system so that birthdays and service awards were automatically recognized and sent to our WebPTers. This was a huge, huge accomplishment for our employee engagement.
Britney Burns
Employee Experience Program Manager
Cinemark
Our Regional Vice Presidents take these cards [AwardCodes] to the General Managers conference, enabling them to award GMs on the spot for their exceptional contributions.
Ann O'Keefe
Director of Benefits
Cinemark
We are excited to announce the introduction of AwardCodes cards to our rewards program. This new initiative allows Assistant Managers to recognize and reward employees on the spot for their outstanding performance. The response has been overwhelmingly positive.

As a system administrator managing the back-end, being able to hand out physical AwardCodes takes out the administrative work. We no longer have to track names, who's getting what points from what event.

Awardco has provided significant time savings. Our previous program was clunky, manual, and time consuming. Now, with the automation capabilities available through Awardco, my team saves 5-8 hours a week!
Kymberlee Stephens
Director of Employee Experience and Wellness
All Access Staging and Productions
We wanted to make recognition easy and exciting for our blue collar workers to participate in, and Awardco's capabilities have made that possible.
