Company Overview
About The Nest Schools
The Nest Schools offers child care, preschool, and daycare services focused on promoting kindness, wellness, learning, and fun. Their overarching goal is to set up children for a lifetime of happiness and success.
The Challenge
Effective recognition for educators
The Nest Schools needed a platform that could keep up with their growing needs, provide responsive support, and reach all of their education staff in various locations in a meaningful way.
The Solutions
Simplified administration with enhanced capabilities
Switching to Awardco transformed recognition for The Nest Schools. Now, no matter the issue, their team gets quick, responsive support and access to customised programme creation and management.
Streamlining their processes led to massive efficiency gains:
- 6-8 hours of admin time saved every week thanks to automated reward fulfillment
- Simplified reporting without the need for complex spreadsheets
- Easier programme implementation across multiple locations
Expanding appreciation to reach everyone
Most importantly, The Nest Schools expanded their recognition efforts to reach more employees, ensuring that every teacher and staff member, no matter their location, could feel seen and valued.
They created their “Nest Eggs” programme designed to recognise those who exemplify core values and go above and beyond. This far-reaching appreciation has had a real impact: The Nest Schools tracks engagement with their recognition platform at each location, and locations that recognise more have lower turnover, while the opposite holds true as well.
Sara Beer, Director of Core Values at The Nest Schools, says it best:
"I'll go in person to different schools for a culture temperature cheque. I'll talk to each teacher, and without fail, every single one of them talks about how much they love the recognition programme.!"
The Results
Time savings and lower turnover
Between saving 8 hours a week on administration time to cutting down on turnover at locations where recognition is a part of daily operations, The Nest Schools’ recognition strategy is paying impressive dividends.
