The most impactful stat I’ve seen is that a recognition hits our platform every two seconds. It’s incredible—so much so that I sometimes worry our employees might mute the recognition channel because of all the activity. But that constant stream of appreciation shows just how engaged our people are every single day. The greatest benefit of using our own software is the culture of belonging it creates.

One thing I’ve anchored on over the years is how special it feels every time a recognition comes in. Another moment that stands out is when we bring new leaders into the organization. I remember when Ryan Jackson joined—he gave me a private recognition once, and it was incredibly validating. To have someone with experience come in, get the lay of the land, and say, ‘You’re doing well’—that carries a lot of weight. It’s powerful when an outside voice validates the work being done, rather than just looking around at each other and saying it ourselves. That external recognition always feels especially meaningful.

The High Flyer program has made a significant difference in how our teams perform and work together. One of my shifts has won the award twice this year, and you can see the motivation and pride reflected in their daily behaviors.

It’s super easy to use and very intuitive.

High Flyer has given us a framework to consistently and meaningfully acknowledge employees, boosting morale and reinforcing the behaviors that drive our success. It has made recognition easier and more natural.

We needed something to unify our recognition programs for all our different locations, and we found that and more with Awardco.

Using Awardco, we received 122 nominations for 80 unique nominees in just 10 days. This is the most internal nominations we’ve ever gotten, and we've had so much positive feedback from our coworkers on the user experience!

With the rollout of Awardco last fall, Lockton has made recognizing others easier, more meaningful, and way more fun. I am HONORED (and blown away!) to be named one of the top recognition recipients since we launched the platform! This isn’t just an award — it’s a reflection of the incredible people I get to work with every day.
