What customers are saying
We wanted our recognition program to be more than just a platform—it needed to be a cultural cornerstone. Awardco made that possible.
Monica Gunderson
Talent Management Lead
Awardco has provided significant time savings. Our previous program was clunky, manual, and time consuming. Now, with the automation capabilities available through Awardco, my team saves 5-8 hours a week!
Kymberlee Stephens
Director of Employee Experience and Wellness
It's interesting because everybody has the strategy. It's the execution of the strategy that matters. And so I think really prioritizing it from the board level all the way down through the organization.
David Brager
President & CEO
The product that we're putting out is a lot of fun, but it is not easy to do what we do every single week. People are working really, really hard, and if they feel like just another cog in the machine, that can get disheartening really quickly. Taking that extra time to show appreciation for above-and-beyond effort is really important and reinforces good relationships.
Alejandra Caceres
Senior Vice President of Marketing
With Awardco, recognition is more than a one-and-done thing. It's starting to become a part of our culture and our employees' daily habits.
Dan Higbee
Senior Director of HR

One of the biggest things we were looking for was a platform that's easily accessible for all of our employees. We needed it to be simple and intuitive, and not take a lot of training.
Lauren Long
HR Operations Manager
We're just really excited in being able to continue to push recognition out there. It continues to be an important initiative for us around engagement.
Jenny Ketchepaw
VP, Talent Engagement
Everybody wants to come to work every day and feel as though they're making a meaningful contribution to the business. So, when you finally get to hear that what you've been working so hard on has made an impact, it's incredibly rewarding.
Chris Berg
Executive Vice President, Fleet Management
[Awardco] was something that was easy to use. I knew that healthcare provider's first priority is their patient, so how do we make it so easy that they can participate and still make sure that they're still taking care of the patient.

The High Flyer program makes you feel seen. It’s not just a gift, it’s a sign of recognition that really motivates you.
Barkin Ozdemir
Content Development Manager, Brand & Communications, Dubai Airports
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.
