Why build nomination programs?

Drive engagement and performance

Peer recognition moments matter. These are the stories that stick. Culture shifts when nomination is inclusive, expectations are clear, and decisions are backed by data, not bias.

Easily execute better strategies

Award nomination programs lose impact without the right tools. Streamline workflows, set custom criteria, and automate communication to scale recognition without the administrative burden.

Testimonials

What our customers say

If we retain a teacher, that’s 20 students we get to serve. Going from 45% turnover to 8% means we’ve kept 85–90 more staff. That’s an incredible impact on both our children and our budget.

Amber Lease

Human Resource Director

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.

Melodie Cottingham

The entire experience, from sourcing and implementation to trouble-shooting and recognition, has been seamless and easy...I love the platform!

The onboarding process was very encouraging. We weren't given the program and told to figure it out on our own—we've had someone to lean on the entire time, someone who helped us navigate this big, company-wide change.

Ryan Zellner

Marketing & Corporate Communications Manager

Managers now have visibility into real-time recognition, which makes performance reviews easier and more holistic.

Monica Gunderson

Talent Management Lead

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

I really appreciate how myKudos [Awardco] offers different ‘classifications’ of shoutouts, so no matter how someone went above and beyond, there’s a way to recognize it. We work with some incredible people, and it’s important to celebrate them however we can.

At ClickUp, we like to recognize employees on their work anniversaries. Awardco makes this infinitely easier by automating the process. Now, employees receive a timely email on the day of their anniversary along with a small gift. It's just one small way we're able to express our gratitude and now we're able to do it without any manual labor on our end.
