Testimonials

What ourcustomers say

Using the Awardco mobile app has made it so much easier to recognize our team in the moment. I love being able to snap a quick photo and send recognition right from my phone while I am on the go, so those feelings of appreciation are never lost. In a hospital environment where our people are rarely at a desk, having that kind of flexibility is incredibly important.

Back in the day, you'd get this big booklet of paper tickets and you'd tear them out. Now, it's all automated and it's simple. It came straight to my house, and it was just first class.

It feels very good to get recognized. You put in so much hard work, and when someone acknowledges it, you feel appreciated and valued. I think that’s the key.

Awardco is central to our strategy around helping people feel connected across the organization in the work that they do. Our strength is that we have diversity across all our offices. So collaboration may be the soul of a layer group, that tie that binds our unique cultures together. But we really want to celebrate and recognize the diversity across our offices, and that is our strength. Awardco helps us create that visible platform for everybody to see the good work and the unique ways that people are solving problems around the organization.

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.
