Company Overview

About CPS Group

CPS Group is a group of manufacturing and design companies dedicated to innovative product solutions in the semiconductor, life science, chemical processing, gas systems, and wastewater industries.

The Challenge

Making recognition timely and meaningful

CPS Group's previous recognition solution had some major gaps:

  • Employees were only recognised every five years
  • Milestones were occasionally forgotten
  • Rewards were limited to plaques and trophies

Employees didn't feel valued or appreciated, and CPS Group wanted to change that.

The Solutions

Automating and expanding recognition

Awardco gave CPS Group the tools to modernize and expand their recognition efforts:

  • Automated birthday and service anniversary celebrations ensure no employee is forgotten.
  • Leader-to-employee and peer-to-peer recognitions make recognition frequent and widespread.
  • Meaningful reward options allow employees to choose rewards that matter most to them.

As a result, recognition is no longer occasional or limited—it's consistent, timely, and personalised.

This shift led to measurable results, with CPS Group seeing a nearly 20% increase in employees feeling cared for by management, according to engagement surveys.

Creating an interconnected culture with peer-to-peer recognition

CPS Group spans over 900 employees across 8 companies and multiple states—and fostering unity across such a broad footprint was another challenge.

Awardco's peer-to-peer recognition programme helped bridge those gaps, allowing employees to recognise each other across locations. Plus, the social feed allows the company to showcase milestones, achievements, and recognitions across the company.

CPS Group didnt just improve recognition—they wove it into the culture, helping separate offices feel more connected, supportive, and unified.

The Results

More celebrations for the people who matter

With Awardco, CPS Group has achieved:

  • A 20% improvement in employees feeling valued and cared for
  • Stronger connections across offices and locations
  • Higher employee engagement, with more frequent, visible celebrations

Recognition at CPS Group is no longer reserved for a few milestones—it's now an everyday part of a thriving, interconnected culture.
