What our customers say
I try to express appreciation vocally and in Slack, but the visibility that comes from an official kudos [Awardco] post really takes it to the next level. It ensures that great work doesn't go unnoticed, and I’m making it a point to use the shoutout feature even more across my teams.
Colby Green
Paid Social Senior Associate
And we've also tied that to wellness in the sense that, you know, every year, we encourage our associates to go get their annual physical. So part of that though is if you turn that form in, then you get Awardco points. So it's another way to tie healthy lifestyle to what's important to us in the bank to making an impact with our associates.
Jenny Ketchepaw
VP, Talent Engagement
Managers now have visibility into real-time recognition, which makes performance reviews easier and more holistic.
Monica Gunderson
Talent Management Lead
It’s much more personalized for the person celebrating their anniversary. From an operations standpoint, it’s helped us recognize employees on the actual day it matters most, instead of long after the moment has passed.
Josh Olofson
Vice President of Employee Experience
I love the simplicity of the program and the ease of taxes. We were really worried about that, but it's been really easy.
Nealy Whisler
Global Director of Talent Management
The product that we're putting out is a lot of fun, but it is not easy to do what we do every single week. People are working really, really hard, and if they feel like just another cog in the machine, that can get disheartening really quickly. Taking that extra time to show appreciation for above-and-beyond effort is really important and reinforces good relationships.

Senior Vice President of Marketing

When we unified our recognition programs, we saw a strong correlation between recognition and employee engagement. Teams led by managers who consistently recognized their people were the most engaged.

Director of Total Rewards & Employee Engagement, Dubai Airports
The High Flyer program has transformed recognition from a reactive gesture into a proactive part of my leadership approach. Recognition is now structured, inclusive, and aligned with our organizational values.
Mariam Al Shemsi
Head - Learning Design & Program Development, Dubai Airports
Our frontline workers are the core of what we do and the core of our customer experience. We launched Microsoft Teams for all employees. We have the Awardco interface added to the platform, so our employees can now recognize each other directly from their phones on their app while they're working. If they see a great job, they can do an immediate shout out and make that difference.
Jessica Mollica
Vice President, Human Resources Field
The High Flyer platform is such an important tool—it allows me to pause, reflect, and thank colleagues who have gone above and beyond. That simple act of appreciation makes a big difference.
Soosan Abidali
Office Manager, Strategy & Development, Dubai Airports
We needed something to unify our recognition programs for all our different locations, and we found that and more with Awardco.

Awardco's platform and program are far and away the best I've seen in my career. Based on behavioral science with an intuitive user interface (and truly customizable reporting!), it is a game changer in employee engagement and appreciation.
Maghan Adams
Employee Experience Specialist
Seventy-five percent of our employees are out in the field, so how do we get them excited and engaged? The safety programs really got them energized. They had the opportunity to earn a lot of points, but they also received meaningful recognition. I was really impressed by how much our login engagement increased over time.
