Recognition can mean different things to different people, but for everyone, you want to feel seen and valued for the work you do. We were able to launch our first global recognition program, STAR, with the help of Awardco.

Managers now have visibility into real-time recognition, which makes performance reviews easier and more holistic.

It humanizes our organization. I can wish someone a happy birthday in Philadelphia from my desk in Houston—because I saw it in the Awardco feed. That’s magic.

We strive to create a high performance culture. If we're looking for certain actions and mindsets, we should celebrate them when they happen and find creative and frequent ways to recognize and appreciate the hard work behind them.

Some of the great stories that we've read are how impactful all of the team members have been to help the children feel better, it's showing our team members how impactful they are.

Awardco has definitely helped us do recognition even better. Recognizing someone you work with, even if you don’t see them every day, has been empowering.

Back in the day, you'd get this big booklet of paper tickets and you'd tear them out. Now, it's all automated and it's simple. It came straight to my house, and it was just first class.

From the very beginning, I’ve said we’re going to organize the world’s incentive spend, bring people together, and create bridges of connection. The way the world works has completely changed over the last four years since COVID—people are more spread out, remote, and in hybrid environments. So, what’s the one thing that truly brings us together? Recognition.
