Why build nomination programs?

Drive engagement and performance

Peer recognition moments matter. These are the stories that stick. Culture shifts when nomination is inclusive, expectations are clear, and decisions are backed by data, not bias.

Easily execute better strategies

Award nomination programs lose impact without the right tools. Streamline workflows, set custom criteria, and automate communication to scale recognition without the administrative burden.

Testimonials

What our customers say

For us to onboard a staff member, it's probably close to about 5,000 to 6,000 dollars. As a nonprofit, I feel like going to Awardco has been a huge cost-savings advantage.

Amber Lease

Human Resource Director

We were really worried that clinical staff wouldn't be able to log in, being away from their desks. But that hasn't been an issue. Our emergency department senior director, for example, uses it right on the spot. We've seen a strong showing from our clinical departments.

Brianna Lepore

Sr. Talent Development Specialist

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.

Kent Streuling

SVP of HR

Positive recognition is contagious, and myKudos [Awardco] serves as an incredible platform to uplift others, celebrate their wins, and inspire everyone to give their best to PMG and our clients.

Melodie Cottingham

Convergent Video/Audio Director

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

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.
