What customers say

Since implementing Awardco, we’ve saved at least 30 hours a month that used to be spent manually tracking, purchasing, and mailing gifts. Now it’s all automated—and more empowering for our associates.

Selia Wood

AVP, Talent & Engagement

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.

Jodi Gonzales

HR Manager

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

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.

Cheryl Vincent

Talent Development Manager

Just managing our custom rewards felt like a full-time job with our previous vendor—it took all day every Friday. With Awardco, I don't have to do any of the manual fulfillment work anymore. I'm saving 6-8 hours a week, just managing orders.

Sara Beer

Director of Core Values

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

Mary O’Brien

Head of Programmatic

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

Previously, every manager hand-wrote a message to their employees every six months thanking them for their hard work, and it was all tied in with the bonus distribution. It was very high-touch, very labor intensive, and we had the process down to a science. We liked the connections that formed between managers and employees as a result of this program, but after COVID-19 most of our workforce went remote. Our semi-annual tradition wasn't possible any longer, nor was it feasible.

Kent Streuling

SVP of HR

Since joining, I’ve found myKudos [Awardco] posts to be a great way to learn what others are doing across the agency. I’ve even picked up ideas from shoutouts that I’ve been able to implement on my own accounts. It’s more than recognition—it’s a source of inspiration.

Colby Green

Paid Social Senior Associate

Awardco not only ensures each employee receives the recognition they deserve from the company, but it provides a meaningful way for team members to shine a spotlight on each other's contributions daily, which would otherwise be nearly impossible to do with our 100% remote workforce.

Lindsay Obrentz

Vice President, Marketing and Communications

When I joined Lockton, we didn’t have a recognition platform. It was the first thing I pushed for—because I’ve seen firsthand how important it is. People want to feel seen and validated.

Selia Wood

AVP, Talent & Engagement

We wanted everything to go through one platform—and that's how we landed on Awardco.

Pam Buyers

Head of Culture

What we found most that sold us on Awardco over everyone else, not only was the platform very easy to use, but that partnership with Amazon is phenomenal.

Imran Merchant

Total Rewards Manager

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.

Colby Green

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.
