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.

I recently recognized a graduate trainee for leading a reverse mentoring panel during Learning Week. That acknowledgment boosted her confidence and showed that meaningful contributions can come from anyone, regardless of age, experience, or role.

We can now give a shoutout to someone even if they’re in a different location—something we couldn’t do before. It just makes it easy when it’s all in one place.

There is never a good time to switch to a new system, but I also know that employees were eager for something new. Awardco has given us incredible power and flexibility with our recognition programs because of the millions of options to choose from, and the ability for employees to choose their own rewards has been a game changer. We know what we're getting, we know we're getting the best price, and our employees couldn't be happier.

Awardco has given us the opportunity to figure out how to put that personal touch back into recognition even if employees are remote.

Awardco has taken the guesswork out of our culture—leadership knows they're not treating anyone unfairly or unconsciously showing favoritism. Recognition is a lot more consistent and frequent for everyone.

We’ve always had some sort of recognition program, but never anything all-inclusive where all associates at every location were engaged in the same program—until Awardco.

I always wanted recognition in Attaboy whenever I was working. I had managers that didn't give that to me. I was eager to have somebody on my team that was willing to recognize me for the efforts that I was putting out for the company.

I love being able to see the full feed of the entire university… before Awardco, I had no idea what was happening in other departments. Being able to see what’s happening across the university really helps you feel more connected.
