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

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.
Amberlee Taylor
Sr. Communications Specialist
Texas Roadhouse
Awardco's fast, compassionate service ensured an employee received a much-needed gift card in time for an urgent personal purchase. It wasn't just a reward—it was a meaningful act of support when it mattered most.

Awardco allows everything to support our core values and our mission, which is very important to us because that strengthens our culture.
Lauren Long
HR Operations Manager
Hunt Brothers Pizza
We've given our employees something they never had before: the power to choose their own rewards. And if that wasn't enough, we save money because the products aren't marked up! Awardco truly brought our recognition programmes into the 21st century.
Jeff Jensen
Director of HR
Americare Senior Living
Recognition fits into our strategies for turnover and helping us retain good caregivers… because everyone wants to know how they're performing. They want to know if they're doing a good job. And sometimes we forget to stop and say thank you. Recognition helps us do that easily and consistently.
Mary Eaves
Senior VP of Operations (Assisted Living Division)
WOW! mobile boutique
Awardco actually cost us less than what we were doing in the past, and it's had a bigger impact on our ROI and employee engagement.
Jay Adhvaryu
Director of Finance and Compliance
All Access Staging and Productions
We wanted to make recognition easy and exciting for our blue collar workers to participate in, and Awardco's capabilities have made that possible.

When employees feel valued and supported, they bring more energy, drive, and passion to work. That translates into higher engagement, stronger performance, and a real impact on your bottom line. Investing in recognition isn’t just good for culture, it’s smart business.

When employees leave, exit interviews often reveal a common theme: they didn’t feel seen or appreciated. Prioritising recognition as part of your culture fosters deeper engagement, and can be the difference between retention and costly turnover.

The Awardco journey

Cousins Steve and Mike Sonnenberg founded Awardco in 2013. What started in a one-room office, with borrowed Wi-Fi, has since turned into a global organisation offering the largest reward network on the planet.

Awardco now leads the way in the employee rewards and recognition space, defining the industry and the best practices of employee appreciation and experience.
