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

Prior to Awardco, the recognition process was manual and time-consuming. Everything was done through emails and spreadsheets, with physical delivery of plaques and gifts. Important milestones were sometimes missed, despite our best intentions.

Mallory Pence

Marketing Manager

Awardco has made employees' lives easier. Working outside in the elements with the customers can be tough, but being recognized, seen, heard, and valued makes it easier.

Christina Castro

Training Leader

Caregivers want more than a paycheck—they want to feel valued. Recognition makes that possible.

Sarah Mazzocco

Chief People Officer

The best decision we made was switching from our previous platform to Awardco. The customer service is excellent, the features are amazing, and we LOVE that they take our ideas and make them happen. They are always looking at innovating, which is one of our core values. We are extremely satisfied with Awardco and everyone here at The Nest LOVES the program.

Sara Beer

Director of Core Values

Soon after our implementation we created a financial recognition program through Awardco for managers and supervisors to recognize their employees for extra efforts. Now our managers and supervisors have their own budgeted amount to use at their discretion to award their employees at any time, and they don't have to wait for approval to do so.

Awardco has not only given us a platform for recognition, but real-time data to drive strategy across our people organization—things we couldn’t even measure before.

Sierra Capone

Director, Wellbeing & Employee Experience

You get the same feeling when you are recognized as when you are recognizing someone else. Awardco gives you that platform and makes it so easy to gain those feelings. I love seeing my team being recognized or my leaders recognizing the teams.

Tisa Penny

Engagement & Events Lead, 2025 Recognition Rockstar Winner

Beyond birthdays and anniversaries, Awardco gives us a meaningful way to recognize our values, which is honestly my favorite part of the program. Every company has values and a mission statement, but they can be easy to forget in the day-to-day. Awardco helps keep our values top of mind by tying them directly to recognition.

Shannon Martell

Employee Experience Specialist

Awardco enables us to celebrate not just big wins, but the small moments that make a difference every day.

Awardco allows everything to support our core values and our mission, which is very important to us because that strengthens our culture.

Lauren Long

HR Operations Manager

We wanted to make recognition easy and exciting for our blue collar workers to participate in, and Awardco's capabilities have made that possible.

Mason Ongarato

HR Software & Employee Benefits Expert

When you have employees working hard from home juggling family responsibilities, and yet still being physically separate from their team, a simple birthday message and gift they get to pick out creates a meaningful touchpoint, and allows them to take a moment for themselves.

Rosie Scannell

Global HR

Awardco has offered customizability that allows us to cater to our employees' needs and recognize what they are doing and change it as the environment changes as well.
