High Flyer has given us a framework to consistently and meaningfully acknowledge employees, boosting morale and reinforcing the behaviors that drive success. Recognition now feels natural and embedded in our culture.

We’ve always had some sort of recognition program, but never anything all-inclusive where all associates at every location were engaged in the same program—until Awardco.

So it's not just working out. And we have found that pictures tell a thousand words. So for example, we were doing something around, eat the colors of the rainbow and to send us in those pictures. And then that gets people more excited, and then they're logging their stuff, and then they're getting rewarded on Awardco. They love when that email comes out once a quarter. They're, like, ready. Like, did I get my points? How many points did I get?

Never underestimate the power of recognition. Years after I recognized a colleague, they still send me a message on the anniversary of that moment to say it continues to make their day.
