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 and their support team have bent over backward to make sure everything is covered and completed to our satisfaction, especially during implementation.

myKudos [Awardco] has been a powerful tool in fostering a culture of appreciation within our craft. By providing an easy, visible way to celebrate all wins, both big and small. It helps boost morale and the impact is immediately felt.

With Awardco we now have more visibility into our incentive budgets than ever, and can be more judicious about our incentive spend.

One of our employees needed their virtual gift card ASAP, but it had somehow gotten lost when it was sent. I worked with Awardco and they immediately resolved the issue and I contacted the employee with their gift card. I didn't know this at the time, but later found out that this employee needed that gift card to purchase something important. 'I needed this gift card to get an urn for my Mom who had recently passed away. Thank you so much for getting this to me so quickly!' Without Awardco's exemplary service, we may not have been able to help this employee in time. And that's typical of the service we enjoy with Awardco, whether that's surrounding gift cards or the awards we offer through the platform.

Our investment to leverage the Center of Excellence team at Awardco was the best decision we made. Katie didn’t just advise, she partnered. She brought deep healthcare expertise and helped us translate what recognition should feel like for clinicians into something that actually works for a deskless, clinical workforce. With her leadership, we built our Awardco instance as a true virtual haven: a values-based recognition experience designed with and for our teams, easily accessible, and directly tied to our mission. The result is an always-on program that makes it easy to celebrate the moments that matter — strengthening connection, belonging, and pride across the organization.

The platform is user friendly, intuitive, and looks great! Plus, the marketplace available offers a lot of great options for employees to redeem their points for great prizes and rewards.

Getting buy-in was super easy. No one really questions it. After all, what's wrong with recognizing people and telling them they did a good job?

Awardco helped us tie recognition directly to our core values, which makes it so much more meaningful.

I try to express appreciation vocally and in Slack, but the visibility that comes from an official kudos [Awardco] post really takes it to the next level. It ensures that great work doesn't go unnoticed, and I’m making it a point to use the shoutout feature even more across my teams.

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.

We think a lot about our frontline employees. They're the ones that make us who we are and drive our business, and we wanted to make sure they knew we appreciated them. Awardco does that.

A quiet employee might never self-promote, but Awardco gives us the visibility to see their impact. We’ve literally had leaders say, ‘I had no idea!’ when reviewing this data.

People like to be recognized for what they’ve contributed. They’re proud of their work—and they should be.

I love the social aspect of the platform—seeing how others are being recognize and rewarded inspires me to give more awards myself.
