Awardco has made employees' lives easier. Working outside in the elements with the customers can be tough, but being recognized, seen, heard, and valued makes it easier.

We've tied rewards to wellness in the sense that every year, we encourage our associates to go get their annual physical. If they show proof, they get points. It's another way to tie healthy lifestyles to what's important to us in the bank, making an impact with our associates.

We launched our The Collaborative Way initiative with a half-day workshop for all colleagues, facilitated by internal Collaborative Way Champions that traveled from office to office. We would do these engaging workshops across the company, and leaders would ask us, ‘Now that colleagues have completed the workshop, how do we keep these principles front and center?’ While we developed other standalone follow-ups, it was only when we implemented Awardco that we truly felt like we had a compelling, daily solution to that question.

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.

I really like the fact that the company I work for, GoHealth, utilizes this program to incentive our team to help motivate us to perform our everyday job. They provide us with Awardco points when we're in training, helping us to retain product knowledge and also as an extra incentive to hit our metrics. Really an awesome program!

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.

Modern recognition with Awardco has created an ecosystem of appreciation. What we've found, as employees have recognized each other, is that they're motivated long term. Employees want to enjoy their work and be successful, and if we recognize them for their success, they'll know they're doing a great job and can improve every single day.

One of the biggest things we were looking for was a platform that's easily accessible for all of our employees. We needed it to be simple and intuitive, and not take a lot of training.

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.
