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

Colleagues have to choose a value from The Collaborative Way when they recognize, making our recognition feed daily proof of why our values are so important. It’s such a powerfully positive place. Leaders are really taking notice—they want to see their teams at the top of the adoption leaderboard because they know the impact our values have on employee performance and retention.

Pam Johnson

VP of HR

I always wanted recognition in Attaboy whenever I was working. I had managers that didn't give that to me. I was eager to have somebody on my team that was willing to recognize me for the efforts that I was putting out for the company.

Rafael Becerra

Manager, Automation Operations

We didn't want or need a bunch of bells and whistles. We needed an efficient platform that would empower the recognition and reward programs we wanted to run. Awardco has worked so well—and continues to work so well.

Michael Cioffi

Director, Marketing, Communication, and Experience

The integration with existing HR systems is smooth, and the automated recognition programs make it simple to maintain employee engagement.

I love how simple Awardco is to use, both the main platform and the admin side, with how many reporting features it has to offer.

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.

Shaye McCoy

Manager, Global Total Rewards Experience

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.

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

Awardco has been a valuable addition to our organization, helping to streamline and consolidate our internal recognition platforms. It has made recognition and rewards easy for employees and admins to use and has helped us expand our offerings for employees.

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.

Cheryl Vincent

Talent Development Manager

The customer service experience has been exceptional, and the Awardco team has been more than willing to help us set up custom processes and programs, configure integrations, and set up our own custom swag shop.

[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.
