All of our locations have TV screens in some area of the facility. When you look at the screen, not only do you see the recognition you may have shared with someone or received yourself, but you see it across the entire company. Having a program that allows this to be done and shared is very special.

It’s much more personalized for the person celebrating their anniversary. From an operations standpoint, it’s helped us recognize employees on the actual day that matters most, rather than long after the moment has passed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

Awardco helps manufacturers create recognition experiences that are easier to access across plant, warehouse, field, and other deskless environments.

Yes. Awardco helps manufacturers create a more consistent recognition program across locations while still supporting local flexibility where needed. This makes it easier to scale recognition across plants, teams, and business units within one broader platform strategy.

Can Awardco help replace manual service awards or outdated reward programs?
 

Yes. Awardco helps manufacturers move away from manual reward processes, disconnected workflows, and older recognition programs by bringing recognition, reward choice, and program administration into one platform. This gives teams a more scalable and easier-to-manage approach over time.

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.
