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.

A big part of that retention jump was career progression. Employees want to be at Awardco. That's very clear in the way that they use our platform. They want to be able to build their career here and stay here.

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

We're just really excited in being able to continue to push recognition out there. It continues to be an important initiative for us around engagement.

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.

I've been using Awardco for our Monthly Wellness Challenges for over a year. Each month, I create a themed EARN program, and participants are entered into a points-based drawing. Awardco has helped me build consistent programming, schedule ahead, and never worry about delays. The reporting tools capture participation and top performers, offering insights that have truly transformed our Wellness Program. Even our most tech-challenged employees use the platform with ease. We've received nothing but positive feedback from employees who had been asking for more recognition.

With Awardco, recognition is more than a one-and-done thing. It's starting to become a part of our culture and our employees' daily habits.

When we implemented Awardco, we refreshed everything and synced all service dates to our HRIS. It works flawlessly now—and the person who used to manage that spreadsheet is very happy.

The Awardco team is very experience and always so responsive. Issues are always resolved quickly and updates are quickly shared.

We used to give everyone a trophy at our annual event. Now, we reward true top performers. Awardco enables smarter, more meaningful recognition and spend.

Awardco helps create a sense of community and appreciation that we need with so many remote employees.

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

One of the best parts of myKudos [Awardco] is seeing others rally around a recognition post—commenting, reacting, and adding to the praise. I love scrolling through the kudos channel and seeing teammates from other accounts getting hyped up for the great work they’re doing. It really creates a sense of community across the agency.

Being a nurse, I know that oftentimes it's hard to keep coming back day after day. It often goes without recognition or gratitude, but Sunshine has given us the opportunity to empower our team and our leaders with the ability to recognize others. We're proud to have seen such high engagement from our team members submitting recognitions on the platform.

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.
