Return on recognition

Why celebrate life’s big moments?

Recognizing your employees’ personal milestones shows that you see them, value them, and care about more than just deadlines or ROI. When people feel truly appreciated, they stick around, work harder, and show up happier.

Everybody at 4Refuel understands how they make a difference. Whether you’re on a customer site or supporting from the office, you bring value every day.

The platform helps to put a spotlight on the good behaviors—on things that demonstrate people going above and beyond or outside their normal scope or taking initiative. As people see that in the feed, everybody else on the team can be like, ‘Oh, that’s the kind of stuff that people get shouted out and recognized for. The more you see the same thing, the more you’re like, ‘Okay, if I want the result, I’m going to do that thing.’
Andrew Goodman
Site Manager
The Awardco team is very experience and always so responsive. Issues are always resolved quickly and updates are quickly shared.

Bravo has been a real game changer for us. Every day, employees are actively seeking out opportunities to recognize one another. They can celebrate meaningful milestones in their own lives and in their peers’ lives, and they can see great work happening across the organization. It’s created space for recognition to thrive.

I love how simple Awardco is to use, both the main platform and the admin side, with how many reporting features it has to offer.

Being a nurse, I know that oftentimes it's hard to keep coming back day after day. It often goes without recognition or gratitude, but Sunshine has given us the opportunity to empower our team and our leaders with the ability to recognize others. We're proud to have seen such high engagement from our team members submitting recognitions on the platform.

So it's not just working out. And we have found that pictures tell a thousand words. So for example, we were doing something around, eat the colors of the rainbow and to send us in those pictures. And then that gets people more excited, and then they're logging their stuff, and then they're getting rewarded on Awardco. They love when that email comes out once a quarter. They're, like, ready. Like, did I get my points? How many points did I get?

I think Awardco is a great platform for recognition. Being able to give a little extra money here and there goes a long way. I try to recognize my office as much as possible when they go above and beyond.

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.

For us to onboard a staff member, it's probably close to about 5,000 to 6,000 dollars. As a nonprofit, I feel like going to Awardco has been a huge cost-savings advantage.

Recognition is now part of our day-to-day culture—from Slack shoutouts to CEO highlights in company-wide messages.
