We do a lot of remote work activities where you can win something. We do a lot of these contests, and I used to go to Amazon and send a $25 gift card to the winners, but now I do it through Awardco. It's in the system, trackable, and much more streamlined.

Fans and season ticket members are vital to what we do. We refer to them as the heartbeat and the blood of the Utah Jazz. Without them, it doesn't give us the foundation that we need.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can managers recognize remote employees consistently and stay connected to their teams?
 

Organizations can give managers configured recognition programs, budgets, reminders, communications, and reporting to support timely recognition across distributed teams.

Recognition can help managers acknowledge contributions that are less visible when employees are not working in the same location. Organizations may also use manager enablement, recurring communications, milestone reminders, and participation reporting to reinforce consistent use.

Awardco can provide tools and program data to support manager participation, but organizations remain responsible for setting expectations and building recognition into their management practices.

Does Awardco replace the tools remote employees already use, or work alongside them?
 

Awardco can work alongside the communication and employee systems an organization already uses. Depending on the available connection, employees may access recognition or rewards through the Awardco web or mobile experience and may receive information through configured email, collaboration, or other channels.

Organizations can use Awardco as the central experience for recognition and rewards while connecting it to the places employees already communicate. The appropriate approach depends on whether the organization wants to provide a direct link, add notifications, connect an existing workflow, or use Awardco as a more complete employee experience.

The available integrations, channels, and content flow vary by system, product, plan, and configuration.

Can employees participate if they do not work at a desk or have a company email address?
 

Organizations can provide access options for employees who may not regularly use a computer or company email. Depending on the setup, employees may use the Awardco web or mobile experience, configured communication channels, QR codes, AwardCodes™, or other enabled access methods.

These options can help employees give or receive recognition, view awards, and redeem rewards without relying on a desk-based workflow. Organizations should define the identity, contact, and access process for each employee population before launch.

Available channels and requirements depend on the organization’s configuration, employee data, and communication practices.

Can remote, hybrid, frontline, and office-based employees have a consistent experience?
 

Yes. Organizations can establish shared recognition and rewards programs while supporting different access methods for different employee populations.

For example, office employees may use a desktop experience or collaboration tool, while frontline or field employees may use a mobile device, QR code, AwardCode™, or another configured method. Employees can participate in common programs while organizations adapt communications, access instructions, catalogs, and workflows to how each group works.

Employees may also have configurable preferences for how recognition is displayed or delivered when those settings are enabled. The available experience depends on the organization’s program design and employee-data configuration.

How does Awardco support remote, hybrid, and distributed workforces?
 

Awardco helps organizations create a shared recognition and rewards experience for employees who work in different locations, schedules, and environments. Organizations can use Awardco to connect recognition, rewards, milestones, incentives, communications, and engagement activities in one employee experience.

This can help organizations recognize contributions that might otherwise be missed when employees do not work together in person. Remote and hybrid programs can be designed alongside programs for office-based, frontline, field, hourly, and deskless employees.

Awardco supports the program structure and employee experiences an organization configures; adoption still depends on leadership participation, communication, program design, and employee access.
