About CloudFit Software
CloudFit Software provides IT services as a DoD company that also delivers to commercial customers. CloudFit enables and accelerates the digital transformation journey by leveraging the Microsoft 365 Platform. Their mission is to run every mission-critical workload which includes deciding what to move to the cloud, deciding when to move it, and doing the work to move it securely.
The Challenge
Engaging a nation-wide remote workforce
CloudFit Software faced a unique hurdle: with employees spread out in 28 different states, and 60% of them fully remote, they needed a way to keep them engaged in a rewarding and fun culture.
And considering only 20% of employees even engaged with their previous recognition vendor, they knew they needed an update.
The Solutions
Recognition that drives participation and saves time
The first thing CloudFit Software did after implementing Awardco was build multiple new recognition programs that reached more people, including:
- Peer-to-peer recognition so that employees could recognize each other
- End-of-year awards that tie directly to company core values
These new programs didn't just increase participation from 20% to 90%—they actually saved HR 8 hours a week on administration work compared to their previous solution with automation!
An example of strengthened human connections
A company leader who lives near Seattle used Awardco's Surveys feature to ask other employees who lived in the area if they'd want to get together for an in-person holiday party on a weekend. They wanted to give employees a chance to see each other, celebrate with each other, and really feel like a part of the team.
Over 15 employees, living various distances away, said yes. These people were happy to drive to a work holiday party on a weekend, which just shows how strong CloudFit Software's culture has become with Awardco.
The Results
Greater engagement while saving time
With Awardco, CloudFit Software has achieved:
- 90% engagement on their new recognition platform
- 5-8 hours saved per week for the People Ops team through automation
- Stronger relationships and team bonds, even across a highly remote workforce
Thanks to Awardco, CloudFit Software has built a recognition culture that bridges distance, celebrates daily achievements, and brings people together like never before.
