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.

One month later, when we received the High Flyer, it was such a nice feeling—a true appreciation of our work. It felt good to be recognized.

We now have complete visibility into budgetary usage and recognitions. Before, nobody could see recognitions at all—it was always done on a small scale, one-on-one from manager to employee. Now everyone in the company can see the successes of others and celebrate those with them, and we can see how managers are using the funds we've given them. Our budgets have equalized almost entirely—down to the dollar.

Awardco has democratized employee recognition and made it so that anyone in the company that sees you doing great work can recognize and reward you for that.

For most companies, purpose, mission, and values can end up feeling like just words on paper. That’s why we were so interested in Awardco. It gives us an authentic way to bring our values to life. Every time someone recognizes a teammate, our purpose and values are right there, reinforcing what they look like in action every single day.

Awardco makes it really easy to select colleagues that you want to recognize, whether it's one, whether it's multiple. Recognition helps build trust with teammates and leaders.

When I personally received a High Flyer, it was amazing. Knowing that my efforts were appreciated—especially by senior management—meant a lot.

What I like best about Awardco is how easy they make it to receive your chosen reward. I selected a gift card and was given several ways to redeem it—perfect since I don't have a printer at home. I simply had an e-copy sent to my email! More than anything, it felt amazing to be recognized. In a previous job, recognition was rare, so knowing my hard work and dedication were noticed really boosted my confidence. Even a small gesture like this goes a long way in lifting morale.

We appreciate the user-friendly interface and the ample functionality of the platform, which has enabled us to better recognize team members as well as better support end users.

From the admin side, managing and ensuring that gifts are timely and fair is dramatically easier. Everything can be scheduled in advance and fulfillment happens automatically.

Our frontline workers are the core of what we do and the core of our customer experience. We launched Microsoft Teams for all employees. We have the Awardco interface added to the platform, so our employees can now recognize each other directly from their phones on their app while they're working. If they see a great job, they can do an immediate shout out and make that difference.

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

Our Regional Vice Presidents take these cards [AwardCodes] to the General Managers conference, enabling them to award GMs on the spot for their exceptional contributions.

Prior to Awardco, our process was clunky. Our reps were spending hundreds of hours stacking gifts, delivering them, packaging them. Now that we've been using Awardco, they've been able to focus their [time] elsewhere.

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.
