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

It humanizes our organization. I can wish someone a happy birthday in Philadelphia from my desk in Houston—because I saw it in the Awardco feed. That’s magic.

Melissa York

SVP, Head of People & Culture

We think a lot about our frontline employees. They're the ones that make us who we are and drive our business, and we wanted to make sure they knew we appreciated them. Awardco does that.

It's really important for relationship building and strengthening. Having this platform that makes it super easy to recognize is what sets Kodiak apart from the rest.

Employees look forward to seeing their monthly Safety All-Star points. Those conversations happen in lunchrooms, dressing rooms—it becomes part of our culture.

Monica Gunderson

Talent Management Lead

We selected Awardco after a focus group review. It was hands down unanimous. Everyone loved how clean, easy, and intuitive Awardco was, especially the ‘Who do you want to recognize?’ prompt right when you log in.

Selia Wood

AVP, Talent & Engagement

One of the best parts of myKudos [Awardco] is seeing others rally around a recognition post—commenting, reacting, and adding to the praise. I love scrolling through the kudos channel and seeing teammates from other accounts getting hyped up for the great work they’re doing. It really creates a sense of community across the agency.
