Testimonials

What ourcustomers say

Seventy-five percent of our employees are out in the field, so how do we get them excited and engaged? The safety programs really got them energized. They had the opportunity to earn a lot of points, but they also received meaningful recognition. I was really impressed by how much our login engagement increased over time.

Marna Lagerquist

Manager, Talent Acquisition and Development

Within AOCC, we’ve built peer nominations into the process. The more recognitions a team member receives, the more points they earn toward winning a High Flyer award. This has fostered real cohesion, inclusivity, and teamwork across the department.

Kan Ni

Vice President, Airport Operations Control Center, Dubai Airports

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

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.

Zach Makoutz

Sr. Manager, Category Sales Product

We've been using Awardco for almost three years now and have received great feedback and strong engagement.

Human Resources Director

If I were to describe the High Five Club [Awardco] in a couple words, I'd say it's collaborative and it's contagious.

Pat Cokingtin

Senior VP of Sales & Marketing

Our people use their points for vacations, holidays, gifts… it’s meaningful to them.

Roshan Varghese

Sr. Director, Environment, Health & Safety

Awardco is not just a recognition tool—it’s a risk mitigation solution. Our tax and payroll teams love that we can now accurately track and report gifting, with proper IRS compliance.
