We recently pulled an in-platform report to check on usage, and then we reached out to people individually to improve adoption—especially managers. Since then, engagement has been significantly higher, and our culture of recognition is growing—even our executives are recognizing.

It's definitely a lot easier because you don't have to carry your gift around with you at the whole game or take a special trip down there. You just order your award and then it comes in the mail.

We've surpassed 10,000 recognitions and achieved a 90% platform login rate—Awardco has become essential to how we work.

Our operational leaders really appreciate how easy it is to reward their teams through the Awardco platform, irrespective of global location. For the staff that are receiving recognition, being able to access and spend the points straight away enhances the perceived value of the reward.

It’s super easy to use and very intuitive.

This integration to our Slack channel… makes it very easy and seamless. There’s this running log of all of these shout outs, which I think is really powerful.

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.

A big part of that retention jump was career progression. Employees want to be at Awardco. That's very clear in the way that they use our platform. They want to be able to build their career here and stay here.
