What our customers say

Beckman Coulter
From a reporting standpoint, Awardco excels by allowing users to access desired reports quickly through easily accessible links, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple pages as was the case with previous platforms. The platform has garnered significant positive feedback for its user-friendly nature and seamless navigation.

Using Awardco has given us the confidence that we've partnered with someone that knows what they're doing. We're not only saving a lot of time, but we're building the confidence of our employees as we express our appreciation to all of them worldwide.

We hear positive feedback about Awardco from employees all the time! They love the programme, especially the peer-to-peer recognition feature. Reading through the recognition feed and seeing what employees are posting about one another reinforces our culture and just brings joy.

I love the simplicity of the programme and the ease of taxes. We were really worried about that, but it's been really easy.
Nealy Whisler
Global Director of Talent Management
Southern Oregon Head Start
If we retain a teacher, that’s 20 students we get to serve. Going from 45% turnover to 8% means we’ve kept 85–90 more staff. That’s an incredible impact on both our children and our budget.
Amber Lease
Human Resource Director
Texas Roadhouse
One of our employees needed their virtual gift card ASAP, but it had somehow gotten lost when it was sent. I worked with Awardco and they immediately resolved the issue and I contacted the employee with their gift card. I didn't know this at the time, but later found out that this employee needed that gift card to purchase something important. 'I needed this gift card to get an urn for my Mom who had recently passed away. Thank you so much for getting this to me so quickly!' Without Awardco's exemplary service, we may not have been able to help this employee in time. And that's typical of the service we enjoy with Awardco, whether that's surrounding gift cards or the awards we offer through the platform.

Recognition and Communications Specialist
PMG
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 recognise the value of the platform.
Melodie Cottingham
Convergent Video/Audio Director
The customer service experience has been exceptional, and the Awardco team has been more than willing to help us set up custom processes and programmes, configure integrations, and set up our own custom swag shop.
