What customers are saying
Our recognition was all over the place before. Awardco brought everything into one centralized, impactful platform.
Pam Buyers
Head of Culture at PMG
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.

The implementation was effortless. The Awardco team was incredibly supportive and proactive throughout the journey, offering guidance and expertise that led to a smooth and successful launch of our High Flyer program.
Maha Salem
Senior Manager, Rewards & Recognition, Dubai Airports
The most impactful stat I’ve seen is that a recognition hits our platform every two seconds. It’s incredible—so much so that I sometimes worry our employees might mute the recognition channel because of all the activity. But that constant stream of appreciation shows just how engaged our people are every single day. The greatest benefit of using our own software is the culture of belonging it creates.
Amy Butler
VP of People Operations
We were really worried that clinical staff wouldn't be able to log in, being away from their desks. But that hasn't been an issue. Our emergency department senior director, for example, uses it right on the spot. We've seen a strong showing from our clinical departments.
Brianna Lepore
Sr. Talent Development Specialist
We do a lot of remote work activities where you can win something. We do a lot of these contests, and I used to go to Amazon and send a $25 gift card to the winners, but now I do it through Awardco. It's in the system, trackable, and much more streamlined.
Amberlee Taylor
Sr. Communications Specialist
We’ve made myKudos [Awardco] a key part of how we work at all levels—whether you’re a people manager or an individual contributor. MyKudos is just as powerful when peers recognize each other, creating a culture of appreciation across the organization
Mary O’Brien
Head of Programmatic
It’s much more personalized for the person celebrating their anniversary. From an operations standpoint, it’s helped us recognize employees on the actual day it matters most, instead of long after the moment has passed.
Josh Olofson
Vice President of Employee Experience
For us to onboard a staff member, it's probably close to about 5,000 to 6,000 dollars. As a nonprofit, I feel like going to Awardco has been a huge cost-savings advantage.

Awardco's platform and program are far and away the best I've seen in my career. Based on behavioral science with an intuitive user interface (and truly customizable reporting!), it is a game changer in employee engagement and appreciation.
Maghan Adams
Employee Experience Specialist
As I’ve transitioned contractors into full-time roles, I’ve used myKudos [Awardco] as an incentive to help them engage with PMG’s culture. It may take time to fully understand all the offerings, but seeing kudos in action helps new team members recognize the value of the platform.
Melodie Cottingham
Convergent Video/Audio Director
It’s super easy to use and very intuitive.
Mark Nelson
Senior Human Resources Business Partner
The High Flyer program has made a significant difference in how our teams perform and work together. One of my shifts has won the award twice this year, and you can see the motivation and pride reflected in their daily behaviors.
Kan Ni
Vice President, Airport Operations Control Center, Dubai Airports
The product that we're putting out is a lot of fun, but it is not easy to do what we do every single week. People are working really, really hard, and if they feel like just another cog in the machine, that can get disheartening really quickly. Taking that extra time to show appreciation for above-and-beyond effort is really important and reinforces good relationships.
Alejandra Caceres
Senior Vice President of Marketing
Through our work phones, we get an email when we’ve earned points, and then we can log in to see our total, explore reward options, and decide how we want to use them. It stays top of mind throughout the day—whether we’re driving or working at customer sites.
