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.

This integration to our Slack channel… makes it very easy and seamless. There’s this running log of all of these shout outs, which I think is really powerful.

Awardco allows me to save my points for meaningful things. I’m using mine to pay for excursions and transportation for my wedding in Mexico. It’s a huge stress relief and makes me feel truly valued.

We really got serious about thinking through how recognition fit into our strategic roadmap as a company. Our Bravo feed rapidly expands the number of people I feel like I'm in contact with and can interact with.

It’s definitely very diverse, and it’s definitely hard to connect with everybody. So Awardco actually makes that much easier with the option of choosing your primary language and translating some of that content already on the platform.

I received a High Flyer last month from my line manager for going the extra mile on a project. It was a wonderful surprise and a true appreciation of my hard work.

Awardco's implementation team was on point, and we were able to get our platform up and running with minimal effort.

I love using data to inform the programs we run with employees. Being able to understand the relationship between recognition and engagement is the next level of being able to meaningfully impact how people experience their time here at Janitronics. This Culture Graph is unlike anything I’ve seen, and I’m excited for the future innovations the Awardco team will continue to bring to the Engage product!

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.

A quiet employee might never self-promote, but Awardco gives us the visibility to see their impact. We’ve literally had leaders say, ‘I had no idea!’ when reviewing this data.

I’ve been recognized myself, and it felt wonderful—surprising, but also deeply motivating. I’ve also had the privilege of recognizing teams for delivering major projects, which brought departments together in a unified sense of achievement.

Awardco makes it easy to recognize people for the awesome things they do—and it's great that recognition converts to points you can spend on real products or gift cards. I love that I can send recognition directly from Slack!

Recognition is vital in a large, fast-paced, and dynamic environment like ours. It motivates our people, reinforces our corporate behaviors, and helps create a culture where everyone feels valued and engaged.
