What's most helpful is the freedom Awardco gives employees to choose how they'd like to spend their reward. Instead of managers handing out gift cards that might not be relevant, I can build contests or recognition programs right from my budget. It reduces expense reports and boosts engagement—especially with non-monetary rewards like peer-to-peer recognition. Their customer service is also top-notch: fast, efficient, and always helpful. I brag about Awardco almost daily.

Recognition fits into our strategies for turnover and helping us retain good caregivers… because everyone wants to know how they're performing. They want to know if they're doing a good job. And sometimes we forget to stop and say thank you. Recognition helps us do that easily and consistently.

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

Awardco has definitely helped us do recognition even better. Recognizing someone you work with, even if you don’t see them every day, has been empowering.

One of the biggest things we were looking for was a platform that's easily accessible for all of our employees. We needed it to be simple and intuitive, and not take a lot of training.

People are busy. It's hard. We have our highest volumes we've ever had with patients. But when people take the time to celebrate one another, then we can really see that hope and that goodness beyond that. And so I really think that why we're successful is because our team cares about one another, and they take the time to recognize one another.

Our experience with Awardco has been very positive. The interactive redemption portal gives the user autonomy, allowing them to feel in control of the award they are receiving.

Before Awardco, our nominations programs were scattered and siloed... a survey here, a form there. It wasn't a very cohesive experience, and there wasn't really one consistent way to do things. Now, it's become a one-stop shop. If I want to recognize a milestone, give a shoutout, or nominate someone for an award, staff and facility know exactly where to go.

When employees feel seen and appreciated, they’re more engaged and engagement drives performance. Using Awardco helps leaders and managers recognize impact in real time and that momentum drives continued and lasting success.

It's a very fast paced environment. There's a lot of rapport between people and everyone gets along really well and we can joke about the things that are maybe stressful, but we also really celebrate the big wins together.

The myKudos [Awardco] platform is easy to use and highly beneficial. I truly appreciate the ability to both give and receive kudos, and the rewards offered are incredibly generous. It’s a well-rounded, thoughtful initiative by PMG that really prioritizes employee appreciation.
