Company Overview
About Velsera
Velsera (Seven Bridges) delivers end-to-end bioinformatic solutions that speed the path from raw experimental data to new diagnostics and treatments.
The Challenge
Increasing recognition for a global workforce
After surveying over 400 employees across the U.S., U.K., Serbia, and Turkey, Velsera uncovered a clear issue: employees weren't feeling recognized.
Velsera didn't want a generic solution—they wanted a platform they could customize and make their own, building recognition programs that reflected their company's personality, culture, and global reach.
The Solutions
Custom solutions to fuel unmatched adoption
Just three months after launching Awardco, Velsera achieved a 95% employee login rate—a remarkable stat by any standard.
Their secret? Creativity and flexibility. Velsera launched multiple engaging programs with Awardco, including:
- Peer-to-peer recognitions
- Manager-to-peer recognitions
- Employee of the Month nominations
- "Most likely too..." nominations
But they didn't stop there. To encourage positive, holistic employee behaviors, Velsera created 11 different incentive programs, allowing employees to earn points for things like:
- Donating blood
- Leaving Glassdoor reviews
- Participating in L&D programs
- Submitting suggestions through the company suggestion box
- Joining company wellness initiatives
- Recognizing the most colleagues each month
These creative, inclusive programs ensured that employees of all interests, personalities, and locations found a way to engage meaningfully with recognition and feel seen.
Seamless administration, unparalleled flexibility
Despite the wide variety of programs, Velsera's HR team hasn't been overwhelmed—Awardco’s streamlined platform makes program management simple and intuitive.
Even better, Awardco's robust reporting tools allow Velsera to track program effectiveness, monitor participation rates, and optimize programs based on real-time data.
Instead of adding administrative burden, Awardco has actually saved Velsera time, freeing them up to focus on what matters most: building an exceptional employee experience.

Thanks to Awardco, Velsera has built a dynamic, engaging recognition culture that drives real results:
- 95% employee login rate within three months
- 15+ creative programs tailored to employee interests
- Streamlined administration and insightful reporting that supports continuous improvement
By turning recognition into a personalized, exciting experience, Velsera made it easy—and irresistible—for employees employees everywhere to feel valued and appreciated.
