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.

I genuinely enjoy reading the daily kudos in Slack. Seeing the names and stories of colleagues going above and beyond is inspiring—it motivates me every day and reminds me why I’m proud to be part of PMG.

Using the Awardco mobile app has made it so much easier to recognize our team in the moment. I love being able to snap a quick photo and send recognition right from my phone while I am on the go, so those feelings of appreciation are never lost. In a hospital environment where our people are rarely at a desk, having that kind of flexibility is incredibly important.

We now have complete visibility into budgetary usage and recognitions. Before, nobody could see recognitions at all—it was always done on a small scale, one-on-one from manager to employee. Now everyone in the company can see the successes of others and celebrate those with them, and we can see how managers are using the funds we've given them. Our budgets have equalized almost entirely—down to the dollar.

The integration with existing HR systems is smooth, and the automated recognition programs make it simple to maintain employee engagement.

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.

Colleagues have to choose a value from The Collaborative Way when they recognize, making our recognition feed daily proof of why our values are so important. It’s such a powerfully positive place. Leaders are really taking notice—they want to see their teams at the top of the adoption leaderboard because they know the impact our values have on employee performance and retention.

Awardco helps employees share meaningful recognition and reduces the silos that occur with so many employees being remote.

Awardco has helped us build and maintain the culture of appreciation that we know is imperative to great work. We've seen first-hand that when employees feel appreciated, they are more productive.

We needed something to unify our recognition programs for all our different locations, and we found that and more with Awardco.

The deciding factor with Awardco was really the flexibility of the platform to meet our business needs—we view Awardco as a partner to meet those needs.

Awardco significantly enhances employee engagement and helps our employees feel valued and appreciated, leading to higher morale. Offering customizable recognition programs for Cinemark and a wide range of awards helps align with our employees' interests and ensures that all employees, from theatre staff to management, feel valued and appreciated.

After COVID hit we had over 1800 employees go remote. Our HQ campus became a ghost town. We couldn't do the high touch thing anymore, but still wanted to engage our workforce. Because of the nature of remote work, we didn't even know which employees were where, and there was no way we could use our old system of bi-annual distribution. We had gotten so much positive feedback with our service anniversary program that we reached out to Awardco to see if they could do something to help us with our bonus program.

If you want a feel-good moment, just log in and scroll through the recognition feed.

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.
