Testimonials

What our customers say

Being a nurse, I know that oftentimes it's hard to keep coming back day over day. It often goes without recognition or without gratitude, but Sunshine's given us the opportunity to empower our team, empower our leaders to have that ability proud that we've had such a high engagement of our team members submitting recognitions on the platform.

Madeline Quinn

Employee Experience Manager

Before Awardco we had no idea how many gift cards were going out or when, but now we have real-time budgetary updates. It's been a game changer.

Jodi Gonzales

HR Manager

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.

Lacy Andersen

Project Manager

I try to express appreciation vocally and in Slack, but the visibility that comes from an official kudos [Awardco] post really takes it to the next level. It ensures that great work doesn't go unnoticed, and I’m making it a point to use the shoutout feature even more across my teams.

Colby Green

Paid Social Senior Associate

So it's not just working out. And we have found that pictures tell a thousand words. So for example, we were doing something around, eat the colors of the rainbow and to send us in those pictures. And then that gets people more excited, and then they're logging their stuff, and then they're getting rewarded on Awardco. They love when that email comes out once a quarter. They're, like, ready. Like, did I get my points? How many points did I get?

Jenny Ketchepaw

VP, Talent Engagement

I didn't expect as much engagement around each other's recognitions, our company's spread all over the country, and Awardco has really helped people feel connected.

Hannah Fagan

Human Resource Leader

Awardo is amazing! Such a great vendor to work with. Customer Service is exceptional and my employees love the platform. Our engagement has increased because of Awardco.

HR Manager

Before we had Awardco I'd have to send out physical cards, anniversary pins, and certificates manually via our in-house mailroom or the Post Office. I was happy to do it but it did take a lot of time to keep track of everything, and it was a challenge to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Now I can look at my calendar and see the upcoming service anniversaries and feel confident that they'll be taken care of.
