Wellness Incentives

Wellness Incentives

Inspire everyday healthy habits

Incentivize and reward healthy behaviors that help employees feel better, live well, and thrive —at work and in life.

The psychology of workplace well-being

Employee well-being is not a nice-to-have perk, like ping pong tables or a day off. It’s foundational to everything you're trying to accomplish such as productivity, engagement, retention, and performance.

When employees feel supported in their mental, physical, financial, and emotional well-being, they respond positively. It’s as simple as that.

What our customers say

Being a nurse, I know that oftentimes it's hard to keep coming back day after day. It often goes without recognition or gratitude, but Sunshine has given us the opportunity to empower our team and our leaders with the ability to recognize others. We're proud to have seen such high engagement from our team members submitting recognitions on the platform.

Employee Experience Manager
Children's Nebraska
Seventy-five percent of our employees are out in the field, so how do we get them excited and engaged? The safety programs really got them energized. They had the opportunity to earn a lot of points, but they also received meaningful recognition. I was really impressed by how much our login engagement increased over time.

I've been using Awardco for our Monthly Wellness Challenges for over a year. Each month, I create a themed EARN program, and participants are entered into a points-based drawing. Awardco has helped me build consistent programming, schedule ahead, and never worry about delays. The reporting tools capture participation and top performers, offering insights that have truly transformed our Wellness Program. Even our most tech-challenged employees use the platform with ease. We've received nothing but positive feedback from employees who had been asking for more recognition.

System Benefits and Wellness Coordinator
We use recognition as a tool to motivate and encourage our employees—everyone knows Awardco because we actively use it for any and all incentives for employees.

Getting buy in for wellbeing can be kinda challenging because we're all busy. Right? And so now go work out or go do this. And so partnering with organizations such as Awardco, we're trying to think outside of the box and create different types of challenges.
Jenny Ketchepaw
VP, Talent Engagement
Citizens Business Bank
Through our work phones, we get an email when we’ve earned points, and then we can log in to see our total, explore reward options, and decide how we want to use them. It stays top of mind throughout the day—whether we’re driving or working at customer sites.

Our client success rep helped us create a training and recording module of the platform to show employees how to properly use it. You rarely find a company willing to spend the time to make sure you're properly equipped.

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.
