FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What rewards and access options are available for frontline employees?
Organisations can offer configured rewards such as points, gift cards, products, experiences, branded merchandise, or non-monetary recognition. The appropriate options can vary by programme, location, employee group, and organisational policy.
Frontline and deskless employees can access submissions, recognition, or rewards through the Awardco web or mobile experience and other configured communication channels. Organisations can also use practical rollout methods such as QR codes or printed instructions where appropriate.
Available rewards, channels, identity requirements, currency, fulfilment, and shipping vary by country and configuration.
Can safety or quality submissions require approval before rewards are issued?
Yes. Organisations can design workflows in which a safety manager, quality team, administrator, supervisor, or other designated reviewer verifies a submission before an award is issued.
Approval criteria can include whether the submission is complete, whether the behaviour meets programme rules, whether evidence is sufficient, whether the observation is a duplicate, and whether the reward amount is appropriate. Organisations can also separate submission, review, approval, and reward-administration responsibilities where their controls require it.
Approval workflows should be documented clearly so employees understand what qualifies, who reviews submissions, and when rewards are issued.
Can organisations configure separate permissions, budgets, and rules?
Programs can be structured around the organisation’s operating model, including different locations, departments, cost centres, employee groups, managers, or programme administrators.
Depending on configuration, organisations may define who can submit, review, approve, administer, or report on a programme; which employees are eligible; which rules apply to each location or group; how budgets are allocated; and what award values are available.
Separating permissions and budgets can help organisations give local teams appropriate control while maintaining centralised governance and reporting. The specific controls and hierarchy depend on the Awardco configuration and the organisation’s requirements.
Can Safety and Quality programmes connect to existing forms and systems?
These can be designed to work with existing forms, safety platforms, quality systems, HR systems, CRM or operational tools, APIs, file feeds, and other configured data sources where the required connection is supported.
A connected workflow might send approved observations into Awardco for recognition or rewards, or use Awardco data in an organisation’s existing reporting and administrative processes. The connection method may vary by system and could involve a supported integration, API, scheduled file, or another configured data exchange.
Organisations should define the system of record, data fields, approval ownership, timing, error handling, and privacy requirements before connecting systems. Not every system or workflow is supported natively, and availability should be confirmed during solution design.
How can employees submit safety or quality observations?
Organisations can configure an Awardco submission experience around the information needed to review an observation or contribution. A submission may include a description, category, location, date, risk level, photo, screenshot, form response, or supporting documentation.
Frontline employees may be able to submit via a mobile experience, QR code, or another configured access point rather than relying on a desktop computer. The fields and evidence requirements should be simple enough for employees to complete at the point of work while still giving reviewers the information they need.
The available submission channels and form capabilities depend on the Awardco products, configuration, and any connected systems used by the organisation.
What safety and quality behaviours can Awardco incentivise?
Organisations can configure incentives around observable safety and quality behaviours and contributions, such as:
- Reporting hazards, near misses, or unsafe conditionsIdentifying quality issues or opportunities to prevent defectsCompleting inspections, audits, checklists, or corrective actionsCompleting required safety, quality, or compliance trainingMaintaining certifications or required qualificationsDemonstrating safe-driving or equipment-safety behavioursSubmitting improvement ideas or participating in prevention initiativesRecognising employees or teams for quality improvements and safe work practices
The most effective programmes define the behaviour or contribution being recognised, the evidence required, the approval process, and the reward criteria. Organisations should align the programme with their safety, quality, legal, HR, and compliance policies before launch.
