Bravo has been a real game changer for us. Every day, employees are actively seeking out opportunities to recognize one another. They can celebrate meaningful milestones in their own lives and in their peers’ lives, and they can see great work happening across the organization. It’s created space for recognition to thrive.

Previously, every manager hand-wrote a message to their employees every six months thanking them for their hard work, and it was all tied in with the bonus distribution. It was very high-touch, very labor intensive, and we had the process down to a science. We liked the connections that formed between managers and employees as a result of this program, but after COVID-19 most of our workforce went remote. Our semi-annual tradition wasn't possible any longer, nor was it feasible.

When I joined Lockton, we didn’t have a recognition platform. It was the first thing I pushed for—because I’ve seen firsthand how important it is. People want to feel seen and validated.

The Awardco platform is the exact solution we were looking for. I love that we've been able to customize the solution for multiple internal use cases that have come up since launch.

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.

From the intitial implementation, the regular administration, and the support, Awardco has been a great option for our employees.

The entire experience, from sourcing and implementation to trouble-shooting and recognition, has been seamless and easy...I love the platform!

We love to catch our team members doing great things! They can’t pour into others from an empty cup. That’s why we invest in recognition and take the time to celebrate our people.

Working with Awardco’s Center of Excellence was an incredibly valuable part of shaping our recognition strategy. Katie brought a depth of real-world, enterprise experience that helped us think more holistically about what we were building and how it would scale over time. She guided us through key considerations, from award values and program structure to governance and budget, in a way that felt both practical and aligned with our organizational goals. What stood out most was her ability to help us strike the right balance between meaningful guidelines and employee autonomy. We wanted to create a program that maintained consistency and oversight, while still empowering employees to recognize one another in ways that feel genuine and personal. Katie provided thoughtful, practical recommendations that made that balance feel achievable. As a result, we're starting with a high level of confidence in the recognition strategy we’re building at Pennrose.

I can't say enough good things about Awardco—it's a game-changer for employee engagement and recognition! The platform makes it easy to celebrate achievements with personalized rewards, offering a massive catalog that employees truly love, all while keeping costs in check. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking to boost morale, strengthen culture, and bring a real sense of appreciation to their organization—it's a tool that delivers results you can feel!

We do an annual engagement survey, and we do see a lot of comments from people saying they love to work here because of the people they work with. We get a lot of good comments about working with others.

Almost a third of our associates are remote. So while we don't get to see them every day, Awardco has provided a platform where they are very visible.

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

We'd help them get through if they're not computer savvy and help them get their logins created and get set up.

Through our work phones, we get an email when we’ve earned points, and then we can log in to see our total, explore reward options, and decide how we want to use them. It stays top of mind throughout the day—whether we’re driving or working at customer sites.
