What customers are saying
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
Modern recognition with Awardco has created an ecosystem of appreciation. What we've found, as employees have recognized each other, is that they're motivated long term. Employees want to enjoy their work and be successful, and if we recognize them for their success, they'll know they're doing a great job and can improve every single day.

Positive recognition is contagious, and myKudos [Awardco] serves as an incredible platform to uplift others, celebrate their wins, and inspire everyone to give their best to PMG and our clients.

Our client success rep helped us create a training and recording module of the platform to show employees how to properly use it. You rarely find a company willing to spend the time to make sure you're properly equipped.

Prior to Awardco, the recognition process was manual and time-consuming. Everything was done through emails and spreadsheets, with physical delivery of plaques and gifts. Important milestones were sometimes missed, despite our best intentions.

Senior Manager, Rewards & Recognition, Dubai Airports
We've tied rewards to wellness in the sense that every year, we encourage our associates to go get their annual physical. If they show proof, they get points. It's another way to tie healthy lifestyles to what's important to us in the bank, making an impact with our associates.
Jenny Ketchepaw
VP, Talent Engagement
I was really excited when I received my High Flyer award last week. I wasn’t expecting it, and it made me feel valued and seen.
Soosan Abidali
Office Manager, Strategy & Development, Dubai Airports
Talented, motivated, competitive people are just attracted to this brand. Humans are very similar. They wanna be seen. They wanna be recognized. They wanna be valued.
Melissa York
SVP, Head of People & Culture
It's interesting because everybody has the strategy. It's the execution of the strategy that matters. And so I think really prioritizing it from the board level all the way down through the organization.
David Brager
President & CEO
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.
Tisa Penny
Engagement & Events Lead, 2025 Recognition Rockstar Winner
We've put a lot of resources and focus on associate engagement and overall morale and wellness. Because of the initiatives that we've put forth this year, we've realized an 8.2% reduction in our turnover rate.
