What customers are saying
This integration to our Slack channel… makes it very easy and seamless. There’s this running log of all of these shout outs, which I think is really powerful.
Zach Makoutz
Sr. Manager, Category Sales Product
I don't worry about the cost as much in these situations because I think having an engaged employee, a happy, satisfied employee that feels like they're part of something is going to reap a lot more rewards in the long run.

Awardco is not just a recognition tool—it’s a risk mitigation solution. Our tax and payroll teams love that we can now accurately track and report gifting, with proper IRS compliance.
Selia Wood
AVP, Talent & Engagement
Our turnover definitely went down after implementing Awardco, especially compared to the previous year. We've noticed that recognition, along with rewards like Amazon items and prepaid Visa cards, has had a big impact on retention without being a huge cost to the company.
Sonia Magdaleno
Talent and Engagement Specialist
Our job was to solve the continuous problem of helping staff feel connected—to each other and to the organization.
Shandy Phelps

The Awardco platform enables us to reach our global employee base (4,500 and growing) easily and effectively.
Tammy Godby
Senior Manager of Global Organizational Development
Never underestimate the power of recognition. Years after I recognized a colleague, they still send me a message on the anniversary of that moment to say it continues to make their day.
Khulood AlMarzooqi
Director of Total Rewards & Employee Engagement, Dubai Airports
Almost a third of our associates are remote. So while we don't get to see them every day, Awardco has provided a platform where they are very visible.

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
