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.

Testimonials

What our customers say

The High Flyer program makes you feel seen. It’s not just a gift, it’s a sign of recognition that really motivates you.

Recognition fits into our strategies for turnover and helping us retain good caregivers… because everyone wants to know how they're performing. They want to know if they're doing a good job. And sometimes we forget to stop and say thank you. Recognition helps us do that easily and consistently.
Mary Eaves
Senior VP of Operations (Assisted Living Division)
Americare Senior Living
People are busy. It's hard. We have our highest volumes we've ever had with patients. But when people take the time to celebrate one another, then we can really see that hope and that goodness beyond that. And so I really think that why we're successful is because our team cares about one another, and they take the time to recognize one another.

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.
Melissa York

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.

We've put a lot of resources and focus on associate engagement and overall morale and wellness. Because of the initiatives that we've put forth this year, we've realized an 8.2% reduction in our turnover rate.

NIBCO
The Awardco platform enables us to reach our global employee base (4,500 and growing) easily and effectively.
Tammy Godby
Senior Manager of Global Organizational Development

We've tied rewards to wellness in the sense that every year, we encourage our associates to go get their annual physical. If they show proof, they get points. It's another way to tie healthy lifestyles to what's important to us in the bank, making an impact with our associates.
