Awardco can connect with an organization’s HRIS or employee data source to keep employee records up to date. Depending on the organization’s systems and requirements, data can be exchanged through a native HRIS integration, API, SFTP file feed, or another supported connection.

HR teams can typically define the data fields Awardco receives, the sync cadence, and how changes such as new hires, transfers, and departures are handled. This can reduce manual user-file maintenance and help keep eligibility, permissions, reporting, and automated programs aligned with the organization’s current employee data.

‍

Awardco supports configurable roles and permissions so organizations can determine who can access specific administrative functions, programs, budgets, reports, and employee data.

For example, an organization may give a program administrator access to one program, provide a regional administrator access to one country or entity, or give finance and payroll teams broader reporting access. Visibility can also be structured around organizational metadata, such as region, department, or employee group.

This allows organizations to delegate day-to-day administration while maintaining appropriate control over sensitive data and platform settings.

Yes. Awardco can use employee data and program rules to support automated moments such as onboarding, birthdays, work anniversaries, and service milestones.

Admins can configure the relevant eligibility rules, timing, award amounts, communications, and recipients. Once configured, these programs can run consistently without requiring HR teams to track every employee milestone manually.

Awardco can route awards and nominations through configurable approval workflows. Organizations can set rules based on factors such as award type, value, program, employee group, or organizational structure.

Workflows may include one or more approval levels and can direct requests to managers, program owners, budget owners, or other designated approvers. This helps HR teams create consistent review processes while reducing reliance on email-based approvals.

Yes. Organizations can configure manager budgets using rules such as headcount, direct reports, employee groups, programs, or other organizational data.

Budgets may be reloaded on a recurring schedule, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly, and organizations can define rules for rollover, allocation, and access. This helps HR teams maintain consistent funding without manually calculating and assigning every manager’s budget.

Budget visibility and management can also be limited through roles, permissions, and program configuration.

Yes. Awardco can support centrally governed programs with localized rules and experiences for different countries, regions, entities, or employee groups.

Depending on the organization’s configuration, administrators can use employee data such as country, location, entity, or department to determine eligibility, program access, available rewards, currencies, languages, and redemption options.

This allows global HR teams to maintain a consistent platform while adapting recognition and rewards programs to local organizational needs.
