The impact of recognition and workplace safety

Safety and quality thrive when employees feel connected to the outcome. Recognition and rewards drive motivation, reinforce safe habits, and foster a culture where safety, excellence, and productivity come naturally.

Testimonials

What our customers say

We needed something to unify our recognition programs for all our different locations, and we found that and more with Awardco.
Storey O'Barr
Recognition and Communications Specialist
Texas Roadhouse
Our Regional Vice Presidents take these cards [AwardCodes] to the General Managers conference, enabling them to award GMs on the spot for their exceptional contributions.
Ann O'Keefe
Director of Benefits
Cinemark
Recognition can mean different things to different people, but for everyone, you want to feel seen and valued for the work you do. We were able to launch our first global recognition program, STAR, with the help of Awardco.
Ashley Cato
Vice President People and Culture
Greenfield Global
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.
Brittany H.
Account Manager
Being a nurse, I know that oftentimes it's hard to keep coming back day after day. It often goes without recognition or gratitude, but Sunshine has given us the opportunity to empower our team and our leaders with the ability to recognize others. We're proud to have seen such high engagement from our team members submitting recognitions on the platform.
Madeline Quinn
Employee Experience Manager
Children's Nebraska
We love to catch our team members doing great things! They can’t pour into others from an empty cup. That’s why we invest in recognition and take the time to celebrate our people.
Sarah Mazzocco
Chief People Officer
Americare Senior Living
We hear positive feedback about Awardco from employees all the time! They love the program, especially the peer-to-peer recognition feature. Reading through the recognition feed and seeing what employees are posting about one another reinforces our culture and just brings joy.
Kymberlee Stephens
Director of Employee Experience and Wellness
CloudFit Software
There are so many [reward] options, and everyone is already used to Amazon and knows what they can get. In the past, we had a catalog of items, and it didn't feel like it would fit with our new demographic.
