Awardco is proud to announce the launch of Awardco 2.0, a new way for how recognition should feel, function, and grow with the needs of modern organizations.
The launch of Awardco 2.0 marks a major milestone in Awardco’s mission to make employee recognition easier, more impactful, and more integrated into the daily work of HR leaders. With a completely redesigned experience across our platform, including many key enhancements to functionality and form, Awardco 2.0 sets the stage for smarter tools, deeper insights, and more personalized engagement for every employee at every level.
“I’m incredibly excited for Awardco 2.0 and what it means for the future of our platform. It’s a reinvestment in our promise to build recognition that delivers real results wherever it’s deployed. We’re creating a platform that adapts to the way people work today and anticipates what they’ll need tomorrow. This is the foundation for the future of recognition, and we’re just getting started.” - Steve Sonnenberg, Awardco Co-Founder and CEO
A platform built for what’s next
As work becomes more distributed, expectations for recognition are evolving. Awardco 2.0 delivers a modern, intuitive experience that empowers leaders, managers, and peers to recognize with purpose and without friction.

Awardco 2.0 is the culmination of monumental effort by many teams, and lays the foundation for the future of Awardco’s platform as we deliver on our promise to build culture, incentivize performance, and power engagement with purpose-built rewards and recognition solutions.
Awardco 2.0 includes these enhancements available now:
- AI-assisted recognition for smarter, more meaningful messages. Awardco's recognition assistant enhances recognition’s reach and helps remove the mental load behind not knowing what to say when giving a recognition.
- Modular workflows that adapt to every organization, user, and admin to streamline recurring processes and highlight those workflows that are used most often.
- Deeper HRIS integrations that reduce admin lift, automate tasks, and reduce rework between systems to make user management simple and straightforward.
- Mobile-first experiences to reach every employee, increasing adoption and reach of recognition to employees in the field, behind a desk, or on the manufacturing floor.
- Enhanced dashboards to show real-time impact and Return on Recognition™ for every recognition program.
These updates all drive toward a larger vision to transform recognition into a core operating system for employee engagement.
Designed to drive action and adoption
Awardco 2.0 is built with simplicity and scalability at its core. By reducing friction in the recognition process for users, we’re helping organizations embed appreciation into their culture without sacrificing time, budget, or visibility.
Early adopters have already reported increased participation, enhanced impact, and faster adoption across all their teams. By making it easier to recognize—and easier to see the impact—Awardco is creating stronger recognition habits that drive long-term cultural change.
What this means for Awardco customers
Awardco 2.0 is planting a flag and showing our commitment to continuous improvement. As organizations look to do more with less, engagement strategies can’t be static—and neither can the tools that support them.
This launch is just the first chapter of what’s to come.
“Awardco 2.0 gives us the agility to innovate faster and in more meaningful ways for our customers,” says Dillon Winspear, VP of Product at Awardco. “We’re building for scale, for connection, and for the next generation of recognition without limits.”
