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.

Our total rewards program was so hard to manage before Awardco. It truly takes the legwork out of the equation and makes recognition easy for our HR team as well as our employees.

With AI becoming more prominent, recognition helps us maintain the humanity and connection that define our culture. It highlights where employees create true value, even as technology expands.

McCormick & Company
We now have complete visibility into budgetary usage and recognitions. Before, nobody could see recognitions at all—it was always done on a small scale, one-on-one from manager to employee. Now everyone in the company can see the successes of others and celebrate those with them, and we can see how managers are using the funds we've given them. Our budgets have equalized almost entirely—down to the dollar.

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.
