When I was given the task of finding an employee recognition vendor, I found five options. After doing some research, Awardco was the big winner by far.

Change management was a concern when exploring new vendors. However, our leadership, HR, and associates have smoothly transitioned to Awardco, and they appreciate its straightforward and intuitive design, which surpasses the complexities of previous platforms.

Recognizing your team members...it's a great way to build moral. To to get those team members to do that extra truck. There's a saying, take care of the people and they'll take care of you. And by taking care of you, it's making sure that every truck is turned in on time and every pallet is pushed through the warehouse.

When you have employees working hard from home juggling family responsibilities, and yet still being physically separate from their team, a simple birthday message and gift they get to pick out creates a meaningful touchpoint, and allows them to take a moment for themselves.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What rewards and access options are available for frontline employees?
 

Organizations can offer configured rewards such as points, gift cards, products, experiences, branded merchandise, or non-monetary recognition. The appropriate options can vary by program, location, employee group, and organizational policy.

Frontline and deskless employees may access submissions, recognition, or rewards through the Awardco web or mobile experience and other configured communication channels. Organizations can also use practical rollout methods such as QR codes or printed instructions when appropriate.

Available rewards, channels, identity requirements, currency, fulfillment, and shipping vary by country and configuration.

Can safety or quality submissions require approval before rewards are issued?
 

Yes. Organizations can design workflows in which a safety manager, quality team, administrator, supervisor, or other designated reviewer verifies a submission before an award is issued.

Approval criteria can include whether the submission is complete, whether the behavior meets program rules, whether evidence is sufficient, whether the observation is a duplicate, and whether the reward amount is appropriate. Organizations can also separate submission, review, approval, and reward-administration responsibilities where their controls require it.

Approval workflows should be documented clearly so employees understand what qualifies, who reviews submissions, and when rewards are issued.

Can organizations configure separate permissions, budgets, and rules?
 

Yes. Programs can be structured around the organization’s operating model, including different locations, departments, cost centers, employee groups, managers, or program administrators.

Depending on configuration, organizations may define who can submit, review, approve, administer, or report on a program; which employees are eligible; which rules apply to each location or group; how budgets are allocated; and what award values are available.

Separating permissions and budgets can help organizations give local teams appropriate control while maintaining centralized governance and reporting. The specific controls and hierarchy depend on the Awardco configuration and the organization’s requirements.

Can Safety and Quality programs connect to existing forms and systems?
 

They can be designed to work with existing forms, safety platforms, quality systems, HR systems, CRM or operational tools, APIs, file feeds, and other configured data sources when the required connection is supported.

A connected workflow might send approved observations into Awardco for recognition or rewards, or use Awardco data in an organization’s existing reporting and administrative processes. The connection method may vary by system and could involve a supported integration, API, scheduled file, or another configured data exchange.

Organizations should define the system of record, data fields, approval ownership, timing, error handling, and privacy requirements before connecting systems. Not every system or workflow is supported natively, and availability should be confirmed during solution design.

How can employees submit safety or quality observations?
 

Organizations can configure an Awardco submission experience around the information needed to review an observation or contribution. A submission may include a description, category, location, date, risk level, photo, screenshot, form response, or supporting documentation.

Frontline employees may be able to submit through a mobile experience, QR code, or another configured access point rather than relying on a desktop computer. The fields and evidence requirements should be simple enough for employees to complete at the point of work while still giving reviewers the information they need.

The available submission channels and form capabilities depend on the Awardco products, configuration, and any connected systems used by the organization.

What safety and quality behaviors can Awardco incentivize?
 

Organizations can configure incentives around observable safety and quality behaviors and contributions, such as:

  • Reporting hazards, near misses, or unsafe conditions
  • Identifying quality issues or opportunities to prevent defects
  • Completing inspections, audits, checklists, or corrective actions
  • Completing required safety, quality, or compliance training
  • Maintaining certifications or required qualifications
  • Demonstrating safe-driving or equipment-safety behaviors
  • Submitting improvement ideas or participating in prevention initiatives
  • Recognizing employees or teams for quality improvements and safe work practices

The strongest programs define the behavior or contribution being recognized, the evidence required, the approval process, and the reward criteria. Organizations should align the program with their safety, quality, legal, HR, and compliance policies before launch.
