There is never a good time to switch to a new system, but I also know that employees were eager for something new. Awardco has given us incredible power and flexibility with our recognition programs because of the millions of options to choose from, and the ability for employees to choose their own rewards has been a game changer. We know what we're getting, we know we're getting the best price, and our employees couldn't be happier.

The Awardco platform is the exact solution we were looking for. I love that we've been able to customize the solution for multiple internal use cases that have come up since launch.

Our team loves that they can spend their points on anything—from company swag (print-on-demand) to Amazon purchases and gift cards from thousands of merchants. That flexibility makes recognition feel truly personal.

Awardco and their support team have bent over backward to make sure everything is covered and completed to our satisfaction, especially during implementation.

One of our employees needed their virtual gift card ASAP, but it had somehow gotten lost when it was sent. I worked with Awardco and they immediately resolved the issue and I contacted the employee with their gift card. I didn't know this at the time, but later found out that this employee needed that gift card to purchase something important. 'I needed this gift card to get an urn for my Mom who had recently passed away. Thank you so much for getting this to me so quickly!' Without Awardco's exemplary service, we may not have been able to help this employee in time. And that's typical of the service we enjoy with Awardco, whether that's surrounding gift cards or the awards we offer through the platform.

Our eNPS soared from 38 in 2024 to 58 in 2025. That's unheard of and something I've never been a part of before. I think speaks to the really special culture that Awardco has built through recognition and through building a culture where people feel like they belong.

We did our first cycling project on the runway. It was a crazy and challenging idea, but the team did an amazing job—and receiving a High Flyer for it felt incredible.

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

Staff greatly appreciate getting to choose their gifts from vendors like Amazon instead of picking from traditional canned corporate swag.
