What customers are saying
It's interesting because everybody has the strategy. It's the execution of the strategy that matters. And so I think really prioritising it from the board level all the way down through the organisation.
David Brager
President & CEO
We needed something to unify our recognition programmes for all our different locations, and we found that and more with Awardco.
Storey O'Barr
Recognition and Communications Specialist
It’s much more personalized for the person celebrating their anniversary. From an operations standpoint, it’s helped us recognize employees on the actual day it matters most, instead of long after the moment has passed.
Josh Olofson
Vice President of Employee Experience
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?
Christina Castro
Training Leader
We wanted to make recognition easy and exciting for our blue collar workers to participate in, and Awardco's capabilities have made that possible.
Mason Ongarato
HR Software & Employee Benefits Expert
It’s really meaningful to see CRPs who are out on the road by themselves, along with employees working from home, still interacting and connecting through the platform. It’s almost like our 4Refuel Facebook—bringing everyone together no matter where they’re working.
Lynne Harkness
VP, People & Culture
[Awardco] pulls everybody together… you get to see what everyone’s doing, even across different campuses.
Brenda Betteridge
Business Development Manager
Awardco helped us tie recognition directly to our core values, which makes it so much more meaningful.
Monica Gunderson
Talent Management Lead
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.
Ryan Zellner
Marketing & Corporate Communications Manager
I cannot tell you what a relief it was to be able to integrate metadata from our HRIS system so that birthdays and service awards were automatically recognised and sent to our WebPTers. This was a huge, huge accomplishment for our employee engagement.
Britney Burns
Employee Experience Programme Manager
After implementing Awardco we saw a huge influx [of recognitions]… we were riding a tidal wave. Now it’s at a sustainable level, but still significantly higher than before.
Maddie Bagley
Appreciation Specialist, People & Culture
Awardco has provided significant time savings. Our previous programme was clunky, manual, and time consuming. Now, with the automation capabilities available through Awardco, my team saves 5-8 hours a week!
Kymberlee Stephens
Director of Employee Experience and Wellness
We've tied rewards to wellness in the sense that every year, we encourage our associates to go get their annual physical. If they show proof, they get points. It's another way to tie healthy lifestyles to what's important to us in the bank, making an impact with our associates.
Jenny Ketchepaw
VP, Talent Engagement
Awardco has given us the opportunity to figure out how to put that personal touch back into recognition even if employees are remote.

The High Flyer programme has transformed recognition from a reactive gesture into a proactive part of my leadership approach. Recognition is now structured, inclusive, and aligned with our organisational values.
