After COVID hit we had over 1800 employees go remote. Our HQ campus became a ghost town. We couldn't do the high touch thing anymore, but still wanted to engage our workforce. Because of the nature of remote work, we didn't even know which employees were where, and there was no way we could use our old system of bi-annual distribution. We had gotten so much positive feedback with our service anniversary program that we reached out to Awardco to see if they could do something to help us with our bonus program.

Previously, every manager hand-wrote a message to their employees every six months thanking them for their hard work, and it was all tied in with the bonus distribution. It was very high-touch, very labor intensive, and we had the process down to a science. We liked the connections that formed between managers and employees as a result of this program, but after COVID-19 most of our workforce went remote. Our semi-annual tradition wasn't possible any longer, nor was it feasible.

Getting buy in for wellbeing can be kinda challenging because we're all busy. Right? And so now go work out or go do this. And so partnering with organizations such as Awardco, we're trying to think outside of the box and create different types of challenges.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does Awardco help manufacturers support deskless and plant-floor employees?
 

Awardco helps manufacturers create recognition experiences that are easier to access across plant, warehouse, field, and other deskless environments. That gives companies a more practical way to support participation across the workforce instead of relying on a recognition experience built only for office-based employees.

Does Awardco offer mobile access for manufacturing employees?
 

Yes. Awardco offers mobile-friendly access and a mobile app experience that helps employees participate on the go. That is especially important for manufacturers that need recognition to be easier to access across shifts, sites, and workforce types.

Can Awardco support recognition across multiple plants or locations?
 

Yes. Awardco helps manufacturers create a more consistent recognition program across locations while still supporting local flexibility where needed. That makes it easier to scale recognition across plants, teams, and business units within one broader platform strategy.

Can Awardco help replace manual service awards or outdated reward programs?
 

Yes. Awardco helps manufacturers move away from manual reward processes, disconnected workflows, and older recognition programs by bringing recognition, reward choice, and program administration into one platform. That gives teams a more scalable and easier-to-manage approach over time.

Can Awardco help recognition feel more fair across hourly and salaried teams?
 

Awardco helps manufacturers create a more accessible and consistent recognition experience across different workforce groups. That can help organizations reduce the risk of recognition being concentrated only among office-based or more connected employees.

Can Awardco help manufacturers improve engagement and retention?
 

Awardco helps manufacturers create a more visible, consistent employee recognition experience across the workforce. That can support stronger engagement, reinforce culture, and help recognition become a more active part of the employee experience over time.
