Alera Group
Colleagues must select a value from The Collaborative Way when they provide recognition, making our recognition feed daily proof of why our values are so important. It’s such a powerfully positive space. 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.

One of the best parts of myKudos [Awardco] is seeing others rally around a recognition post—commenting, reacting, and adding to the praise. I love scrolling through the kudos channel and seeing teammates from other accounts getting hyped up for the great work they’re doing. It really creates a sense of community across the agency.

We have an on-the-spot recognition program where leaders can immediately recognize a CRP for demonstrating safe behaviour. That recognition is visible across the organization, which motivates others to do the same. Instead of focusing on what went wrong, we’ve shifted our culture to spotlight what’s being done right—and that’s encouraged everyone to follow that path.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does Awardco help manufacturers support deskless and plant-floor employees?

Can Awardco help recognition feel more fair across hourly and salaried teams?
 

Awardco helps manufacturers create a more accessible and consistent recognition experience across different workforce groups. This can help organizations reduce the risk of recognition being concentrated only among office-based or more connected employees.
