We fell in love with the Awardco platform from the start because it's so simple, and yet it also has so many customisation options to add to it.

Marko Zecevic

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.

Kymberlee Stephens

Anybody who is partaking in this programme actually gets noticed and is brought to our attention—and I think that's wonderful.

Misti Trombley

I really appreciate how myKudos [Awardco] offers different ‘classifications’ of shoutouts, so no matter how someone went above and beyond, there’s a way to recognise it. We work with some incredible people, and it’s important to celebrate them however we can.

Since joining, I’ve found myKudos [Awardco] posts to be a great way to learn what others are doing across the agency. I’ve even picked up ideas from shoutouts that I’ve been able to implement on my own accounts. It’s more than recognition—it’s a source of inspiration.

And we've also tied that to wellness in the sense that, you know, every year, we encourage our associates to go get their annual physical. So part of that though is if you turn that form in, then you get award co points. So it's another way to tie healthy lifestyle to what's important to us in the bank to making an impact with our associates.
