The platform is user friendly, intuitive, and looks great! Plus, the marketplace available offers a lot of great options for employees to redeem their points for great prizes and rewards.

We’ve accomplished so many amazing things and built such a strong foundation; it’s now up to us to take the next step. How do we keep evolving to ensure we don’t fall behind? The blueprint for HR is changing.

We needed something to unify our recognition programmes for all our different locations, and we found that and more with Awardco.

Awardco has made a big difference at our Sunnyvale location, specifically the different programmes they've been able to create. They have a tenure recognition programme, an employee of the month programme, a birthday recognition programme, and Sunnyvale has also created a safety bingo.
Jessica Sinclair
Sr. HR Business Partner
Our partnership with Awardco's sales, implementation, and support teams has been the brightest point. They come to every situation with a solution and innovation mindset.

Awardco is a great product that makes my life a whole lot easier. I love the convenience it provides me to be able to award employees for hard work and loyalty, and to reward them personally in a hands-free way.

There are so many [reward] options, and everyone is already used to Amazon and knows what they can get. In the past, we had a catalogue of items, and it didn't feel like it would fit with our new demographic.

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.

I didn't expect as much engagement around each other's recognitions, our company's spread all over the country, and Awardco has really helped people feel connected.
Hannah Fagan
Human Resource Leader
The flexible rewards offered are my favorite part. Rather than giving gift cards or merchandise that individuals might not use, they get to decide what they want.

We wanted our recognition programme to be more than just a platform—it needed to be a cultural cornerstone. Awardco made that possible.
