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.

The recognition—the articulation of these specific behaviors that one employee found another employee did that helped them—is where I think the gold is.

[Awardco] was something that was easy to use. I knew that healthcare provider's first priority is their patient, so how do we make it so easy that they can participate and still make sure that they're still taking care of the patient.

The platform is user friendly, intuitive, and looks great! Plus, the marketplace available offers a lot of great options for employees to redeem their points for great prizes and rewards.

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.

I've been using Awardco for our Monthly Wellness Challenges for over a year. Each month, I create a themed EARN program, and participants are entered into a points-based drawing. Awardco has helped me build consistent programming, schedule ahead, and never worry about delays. The reporting tools capture participation and top performers, offering insights that have truly transformed our Wellness Program. Even our most tech-challenged employees use the platform with ease. We've received nothing but positive feedback from employees who had been asking for more recognition.

Associates love it. We've had over 95% user adoption in the first six months. It's been a huge success.

Awardco has not only given us a platform for recognition, but real-time data to drive strategy across our people organization—things we couldn’t even measure before.

Awardco is central to our strategy around helping people feel connected across the organization in the work that they do. Our strength is that we have diversity across all our offices. So collaboration may be the soul of a layer group, that tie that binds our unique cultures together. But we really want to celebrate and recognize the diversity across our offices, and that is our strength. Awardco helps us create that visible platform for everybody to see the good work and the unique ways that people are solving problems around the organization.

Our goal was to make it easy to recognize employees and make sure everyone had access to that recognition in the most simplistic format.
Brenda Neuhoff
Director of Total Rewards
The flexible rewards offered are my favorite part. Rather than giving gift cards or merchandise that individuals might not use, they get to decide what they want.

Awardco has democratized employee recognition and made it so that anyone in the company that sees you doing great work can recognize and reward you for that.

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.

Staff greatly appreciate getting to choose their gifts from vendors like Amazon instead of picking from traditional canned corporate swag.
