Testimonials

What ourcustomers say

When we set up a demo, the customer service representative made us feel like a client already. He made us feel valued, and he was patient with us through the process. The service we received from the Awardco team far and away exceeded our expectations and really sold us on your company.

Thanks to Christi and the Awardco Center of Excellence, we now have a strong thought partner that shares new and different strategies to help us further elevate the Americare recognition experience. We have tested the market, and this collaborative consultation and creative problem solving from recognition practitioners differentiates Awardco. In practice, it has built our confidence that we have business partners who are sincerely invested in helping us take recognition from being a perk to a powerful strategic driver that delivers tangible impact.

When we implemented Awardco, we refreshed everything and synced all service dates to our HRIS. It works flawlessly now—and the person who used to manage that spreadsheet is very happy.

Awardco bridges the gap by giving us a platform to build each other up. There are centers that are really far from each other that can now feel connected to everybody else because we can share the great things that we're doing.

Companies that invest in recognition are seen as people-centric. When people feel appreciated for their contributions and are truly engaged, they’re more innovative, more creative, and more willing to think beyond the status quo. This elevates work, fuels stronger business outcomes and can foster deeper customer relationships.

At ClickUp, we like to recognize employees on their work anniversaries. Awardco makes this infinitely easier by automating the process. Now, employees receive a timely email on the day of their anniversary along with a small gift. It's just one small way we're able to express our gratitude and now we're able to do it without any manual labor on our end.

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.
