What our customers say
The ability to customize the platform and call it 'MyKudos' made it feel like a true extension of our brand and culture.
Pam Buyers
Head of Culture at PMG
I could rave to millions of people that I think this should be the platform of choice.
Ryan Zellner
Marketing & Corporate Communications Manager
It has been exciting to see the increased engagement around recognition, and how the platform has encouraged team members to support each other in new ways.
Deanna Dennis
Sr. Manager, Team Member Experience
We recently pulled an in-platform report to check on usage, and then we reached out to people individually to improve adoption—especially managers. Since then, engagement has been significantly higher, and our culture of recognition is growing—even our executives are recognizing.

Associates love it. We've had over 95% user adoption in the first six months. It's been a huge success.
Selia Wood
AVP, Talent & Engagement
One year into having sunshine, our recognition, feeling like we're recognized went up ten percent. I think that's just a true testament of how much it means to us. We do have those hard days. And again, the Sunshine Recognition Hub empowers our nurses and team members. It's given us a platform to recognize, those moments of of excellence.
Mellisa Renter
Director of Professional Nursing Practice
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
Awardco has definitely helped us do recognition even better. Recognizing someone you work with, even if you don’t see them every day, has been empowering.
Ashley Martin
President & CEO
People are busy. It's hard. We have our highest volumes we've ever had with patients. But when people take the time to celebrate one another, then we can really see that hope and that goodness beyond that. And so I really think that why we're successful is because our team cares about one another, and they take the time to recognize one another.
Madeline Quinn
Employee Experience Manager
As we’ve scaled, we’ve lost the day-to-day visibility into our people. Awardco fills that gap. Peer recognition surfaces contributions that would otherwise go unnoticed—especially from introverts or quiet top performers.
Melissa York
SVP, Head of People & Culture
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!

Awardco makes it really easy to select colleagues that you want to recognize, whether it's one, whether it's multiple. Recognition helps build trust with teammates and leaders.
Brett Miller
VP of Creative
We created ‘Celebrating Culture’—a program where we reward engagement at everything from costume contests to lunch-and-learns. Awardco makes it easy to motivate and recognize employees both in person and remotely.
Tisa Penny
Engagement & Events Lead, 2025 Recognition Rockstar Winner
Colleagues have to choose a value from The Collaborative Way when they recognize, making our recognition feed daily proof of why our values are so important. It’s such a powerfully positive place. Leaders are really taking notice—they want to see their teams at the top of the adoption leaderboard because they know the impact our values have on employee performance and retention.
