We can now give a shoutout to someone even if they’re in a different location—something we couldn’t do before. It just makes it easy when it’s all in one place.

We selected Awardco after a focus group review. It was hands down unanimous. Everyone loved how clean, easy, and intuitive Awardco was, especially the ‘Who do you want to recognize?’ prompt right when you log in.

Employees are awarded a certain amount of points every month to give out to their peers. We encourage people to recognize not just within their team, but across the company—anyone who goes above and beyond or makes your day a little easier.

It's a very fast paced environment. There's a lot of rapport between people and everyone gets along really well and we can joke about the things that are maybe stressful, but we also really celebrate the big wins together.

You get the same feeling when you are recognized as when you are recognizing someone else. Awardco gives you that platform and makes it so easy to gain those feelings. I love seeing my team being recognized or my leaders recognizing the teams.

The product that we're putting out is a lot of fun, but it is not easy to do what we do every single week. People are working really, really hard, and if they feel like just another cog in the machine, that can get disheartening really quickly. Taking that extra time to show appreciation for above-and-beyond effort is really important and reinforces good relationships.

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.
