Recognition truly is a cornerstone of PMG’s culture because it fuels engagement, strengthens relationships, and reinforces the behaviors that drive our success. It allows you to immediately recognize big and small wins where that impact is immediately felt.

Mary O’Brien

Head of Programmatic

Using Awardco has given us the confidence that we've partnered with someone that knows what they're doing. We're not only saving a lot of time, but we're building the confidence of our employees as we express our appreciation to all of them worldwide.

Annasuela Fritz

HR Projects and Recognition Manager

Recognition through myKudos [Awardco] is one of the most positive aspects of PMG. It showcases employee contributions across the company, helping everyone feel valued and appreciated. Public recognition doesn't just acknowledge hard work—it motivates others to push further and strive for excellence.

Melodie Cottingham

Convergent Video/Audio Director

We now have complete visibility into budgetary usage and recognitions. Before, nobody could see recognitions at all—it was always done on a small scale, one-on-one from manager to employee. Now everyone in the company can see the successes of others and celebrate those with them, and we can see how managers are using the funds we've given them. Our budgets have equalized almost entirely—down to the dollar.

Lacy Andersen

Project Manager

The onboarding process was very encouraging. We weren't given the program and told to figure it out on our own—we've had someone to lean on the entire time, someone who helped us navigate this big, company-wide change.

Ryan Zellner

Marketing & Corporate Communications Manager

Previously, every manager hand-wrote a message to their employees every six months thanking them for their hard work, and it was all tied in with the bonus distribution. It was very high-touch, very labor intensive, and we had the process down to a science. We liked the connections that formed between managers and employees as a result of this program, but after COVID-19 most of our workforce went remote. Our semi-annual tradition wasn't possible any longer, nor was it feasible.
