We use recognition as a tool to motivate and encourage our employees—everyone knows Awardco because we actively use it for any and all incentives for employees.

Before Awardco, our nominations programs were scattered and siloed... a survey here, a form there. It wasn't a very cohesive experience, and there wasn't really one consistent way to do things. Now, it's become a one-stop shop. If I want to recognize a milestone, give a shoutout, or nominate someone for an award, staff and facility know exactly where to go.

The High Flyer program makes you feel seen. It’s not just a gift, it’s a sign of recognition that really motivates you.

Tying recognition to our values and integrating with Slack created real cultural stickiness.

When we unified our recognition programs, we saw a strong correlation between recognition and employee engagement. Teams led by managers who consistently recognized their people were the most engaged.

It only takes a moment to thank someone, but that recognition stays with them and inspires them to do even better.

Seventy-five percent of our employees are out in the field, so how do we get them excited and engaged? The safety programs really got them energized. They had the opportunity to earn a lot of points, but they also received meaningful recognition. I was really impressed by how much our login engagement increased over time.

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.

It has been exciting to see the increased engagement around recognition, and how the platform has encouraged team members to support each other in new ways.

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.

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.

We don’t have to pull together spreadsheets anymore… we can see the whole ecosystem. Awardco helps magnify the efforts we’re already doing and make them more visible.

We really like the redemption options and how Awardco integrates with Amazon — the platform's ease-of-use has empowered us to handle our growing employee population.

Feeling seen and feeling valued… That's one thing that keeps me going every day. We all try to strive for the best and try to help one another. We have a great management system here and everybody is seen and heard.

After COVID hit we had over 1800 employees go remote. Our HQ campus became a ghost town. We couldn't do the high touch thing anymore, but still wanted to engage our workforce. Because of the nature of remote work, we didn't even know which employees were where, and there was no way we could use our old system of bi-annual distribution. We had gotten so much positive feedback with our service anniversary program that we reached out to Awardco to see if they could do something to help us with our bonus program.
