Testimonials

What ourcustomers say

One of the best parts of myKudos [Awardco] is seeing others rally around a recognition post—commenting, reacting, and adding to the praise. I love scrolling through the kudos channel and seeing teammates from other accounts getting hyped up for the great work they’re doing. It really creates a sense of community across the agency.

It's definitely a lot easier because you don't have to carry your gift around with you at the whole game or take a special trip down there. You just order your award and then it comes in the mail.

For most companies, purpose, mission, and values can end up feeling like just words on paper. That’s why we were so interested in Awardco. It gives us an authentic way to bring our values to life. Every time someone recognizes a teammate, our purpose and values are right there, reinforcing what they look like in action every single day.

We were doing recognition even before we adopted this platform, but this platform made it so easy for our frontline leaders and middle managers to run the recognition program.

It is a great platform that keeps our sales team highly motivated to bring in some great numbers. I would totally recommend for more business to acquire their services and implement these incentive programs.

My favorite stuff are the pickleball paddles. It's nice because you don't have to pay for them — they're expensive.

It's allowing our leaders to recognize and award employees for safety initiatives. It's bringing more timely and meaningful performance actions.
