When you can point to exactly what someone did well, and their peers can see it too, it creates an incredibly authentic and meaningful recognition experience.

It’s much more personalized for the person celebrating their anniversary. From an operations standpoint, it’s helped us recognize employees on the actual day it matters most, instead of long after the moment has passed.

Turnover in our industry is anywhere from about 130% to 200% annually. Our turnover is down to about 70%, which is a crazy number when you think about cost to hire and how much it takes to interview and bring people on.

As I’ve transitioned contractors into full-time roles, I’ve used myKudos [Awardco] as an incentive to help them engage with PMG’s culture. It may take time to fully understand all the offerings, but seeing kudos in action helps new team members recognize the value of the platform.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

 How will we prove Awardco improves engagement, retention, or other business outcomes?

 

Awardco can help organizations establish a baseline, track program adoption, and monitor recognition activity alongside broader workforce metrics.

Depending on the organization’s goals, teams may evaluate measures such as engagement or eNPS results, recognition participation, login activity, points utilization, voluntary turnover, absenteeism, productivity, or administrative effort.

Awardco reporting can support the measurement process, but each organization should use its own baseline and business context to determine impact. Recognition activity alone does not guarantee a specific retention or engagement outcome.

What results can a Software or Services company like ours realistically expect?
 

Results depend on the organization’s starting point, workforce, program design, manager participation, communications, and business objectives.

Software and Services organizations may use Awardco to support stronger employee engagement, more consistent recognition, improved manager participation, cultural alignment across teams, and a more efficient administration process.

The most useful evaluation compares Awardco’s potential impact with the organization’s current recognition activity, employee feedback, workforce metrics, and administrative workload. Relevant customer stories can provide examples, but no single benchmark applies to every organization.

How will Awardco engage remote, distributed, and global employees?
 

Awardco is designed to help organizations recognize employees who work remotely, across offices, in different countries, or at client and customer sites.

Depending on the organization’s configuration, employees can access recognition and rewards through mobile experiences, supported login methods, collaboration tools, email, and other communication channels. Programs and reward options can also be adapted for different countries, currencies, employee groups, and local requirements.

Adoption still depends on a thoughtful rollout, relevant programs, manager participation, and consistent communication across the workforce.

How do we get managers to participate consistently?
 

Awardco can help organizations make recognition easier for managers through simple workflows, configurable budgets, reminders, automated programs, and reporting on participation.

Leaders can use reporting to identify teams or managers with lower participation and target communications, training, or follow-up where needed. Organizations can also support recognition without requiring a monetary award for every interaction, depending on their program design.

Sustained manager participation depends on leadership expectations, enablement, workflow simplicity, and reinforcement over time.

Can we consolidate recognition, engagement, surveys, and other tools?
 

Awardco can bring recognition, rewards, engagement experiences, reporting, and related workflows together in one platform, depending on the products and programs an organization enables.

This may help reduce the number of disconnected employee experiences and simplify administration. Organizations can evaluate whether Awardco should replace, integrate with, or complement existing tools such as survey, engagement, collaboration, HRIS, or payroll systems.

The right consolidation strategy depends on the capabilities the organization already owns, the workflows it wants to preserve, and the level of integration required.

Recognition that pays for itself
