Getting buy-in was super easy. No one really questions it. After all, what's wrong with recognising people and telling them they did a good job?

We use recognition as a tool to motivate and encourage our employees—everyone knows Awardco because we actively use it for any and all incentives for employees.

The onboarding process was very encouraging. We weren't given the programme and told to figure it out on our own—we've had someone to lean on the entire time, someone who helped us navigate this big, company-wide change.

How do we better recognise our associates on the day to day? One of our engagement survey questions is, 'In the last seven days, have you been recognised for doing good work?' Awardco really allows us to to do that and to do a better job of that.
