The High Flyer program has transformed recognition from a reactive gesture into a proactive part of my leadership approach. Recognition is now structured, inclusive, and aligned with our organizational values.

I genuinely enjoy reading the daily kudos in Slack. Seeing the names and stories of colleagues going above and beyond is inspiring—it motivates me every day and reminds me why I’m proud to be part of PMG.

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.

I received a High Flyer last month from my line manager for going the extra mile on a project. It was a wonderful surprise and a true appreciation of my hard work.

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.
