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 High Flyer program makes you feel seen. It’s not just a gift, it’s a sign of recognition that really motivates you.

What's most helpful is the freedom Awardco gives employees to choose how they'd like to spend their reward. Instead of managers handing out gift cards that might not be relevant, I can build contests or recognition programs right from my budget. It reduces expense reports and boosts engagement—especially with non-monetary rewards like peer-to-peer recognition. Their customer service is also top-notch: fast, efficient, and always helpful. I brag about Awardco almost daily.

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.

I don't worry about the cost as much in these situations because I think having an engaged employee, a happy, satisfied employee that feels like they're part of something is going to reap a lot more rewards in the long run.

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.

We have an on-the-spot recognition program where leaders can immediately recognize a CRP for demonstrating safe behavior. That recognition is visible across the organization, which motivates others to do the same. Instead of focusing on what went wrong, we’ve shifted our culture to spotlight what’s being done right—and that’s encouraged everyone to follow that path.
