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.

What our Customers say

We can use the platform for more than just rewards and recognition—we've recently started using it to give bonuses to employes who go the extra mile, and the employee survey function has helped us on multiple occasions.

Recognition through myKudos [Awardco] is one of the most positive aspects of PMG. It showcases employee contributions across the company, helping everyone feel valued and appreciated. Public recognition doesn't just acknowledge hard work—it motivates others to push further and strive for excellence.

Since joining, I’ve found myKudos [Awardco] posts to be a great way to learn what others are doing across the agency. I’ve even picked up ideas from shoutouts that I’ve been able to implement on my own accounts. It’s more than recognition—it’s a source of inspiration.

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.
