Success Stories

Turn appreciation into ROI

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.

Ultradent Products
The one thing I love most about Awardco is that it helps people recognize the core values that we want our people to develop, which reinforces our culture more than we've ever been able to reinforce it before.

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.

Ampirical
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

Kodiak
It's really important for relationship building and strengthening. Having this platform that makes it super easy to recognize is what sets Kodiak apart from the rest.

Awardco is not just a recognition tool—it’s a risk mitigation solution. Our tax and payroll teams love that we can now accurately track and report gifting, with proper IRS compliance.

We've surpassed 10,000 recognitions and achieved a 90% platform login rate—Awardco has become essential to how we work.
Monica Gunderson
Talent Management Lead
I like that at the end of the year (or whenever you decide) you can cash out and have a nice treat. It's a great way to gamify work. I also appreciate that events like work anniversaries give you bonus points. This year I was able to get a nice Uber Eats gift card compliments of my job and Awardco.
