It humanizes our organization. I can wish someone a happy birthday in Philadelphia from my desk in Houston—because I saw it in the Awardco feed. That’s magic.

Awardco checked all the boxes for us, from onboarding all the way up to senior leadership.

Pam Buyers

Head of Culture

One year into having sunshine, our recognition, feeling like we're recognized went up ten percent. I think that's just a true testament of how much it means to us. We do have those hard days. And again, the Sunshine Recognition Hub empowers our nurses and team members. It's given us a platform to recognize, those moments of of excellence.

Mellisa Renter

Our caregivers give so much emotionally—it’s intense work. Recognition helps keep them engaged and supported.
