If we retain a teacher, that’s 20 students we get to serve. Going from 45% turnover to 8% means we’ve kept 85–90 more staff. That’s an incredible impact on both our children and our budget.

Fans and season ticket members are vital to what we do. We refer to them as the heartbeat and the blood of the Utah Jazz. Without them, it doesn't give us the foundation that we need.

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.

We have a lot of different programs to ensure we encompass all our employees. Three of them tie directly to our core values: our peer-to-peer program, our manager-led programs, and our safety programs—like our Safety All-Stars, which is a monthly automated award.

I'd like for others to look at Hertz and say ‘they're doing something right’. They're listening to employees, taking that feedback and continuing to build upon their recognition programs. Just to let them know that it is part of our culture and it's not just a platform.

Some of the great stories that we've read are how impactful all of the team members have been to help the children feel better, it's showing our team members how impactful they are.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can Awardco provide automated, payroll-ready reports or feeds?
 

Yes. Awardco can provide reporting and supported integrations for payroll and finance processes.

Depending on the organization’s systems, data may be delivered through a native integration, API, SFTP file feed, scheduled report, or another supported method. Reports may include employee information, program details, award or redemption amounts, dates, taxable status, earning codes, cost centers, and other configured fields.

The available fields, delivery cadence, tax logic, and integration method depend on the organization’s payroll systems, countries, data structure, and implementation requirements.

‍

How will Finance reconcile awards, redemptions, invoices, returns, and cost centers?
 

Awardco reporting can help Finance teams compare platform activity with budgets, redemption transactions, account balances, and invoices.

Depending on the organization’s configuration, reports may show who received or redeemed points, what was redeemed, the value and date of the transaction, program and cost-center information, returns, terminations, and remaining balances.

Invoice timing and reconciliation rules can vary by funding model, reward type, fulfillment process, and account setup. Finance teams should confirm the exact accounting workflow and reporting fields during implementation.

Can we offer employee choice while controlling cash, tax, and compliance exposure?
 

Organizations can configure reward programs and catalogs around their financial, tax, and compliance policies.

Depending on the organization and country, employees may be offered options such as gift cards, products, experiences, charitable giving, merchandise, or cash-based rewards where supported. Finance teams can use program rules, catalog controls, approval workflows, and reporting to help manage which options are available.

Reward value and tax treatment vary by reward type and jurisdiction, so organizations should review the available options with their Finance, payroll, and tax teams.

Break employee satisfaction records—not budgets

Rewards and recognition should take headaches away from finance instead of adding to them. Make it happen with Awardco.
