Why celebrate life’s big moments?

Recognising your employees’ personal milestones shows that you see them, value them, and care about more than just deadlines or ROI. When people feel truly appreciated, they stick around, work harder, and show up happier.

I think Awardco is a great platform for recognition. Being able to give a little extra money here and there goes a long way. I try to recognise my office as much as possible when they go above and beyond.

As an evolving company, I like to ask myself if we're better than we were a year ago—and with employee recognition and employee engagement, the answer is absolutely.

Seventy-five percent of our employees are out in the field, so how do we get them excited and engaged? The safety programmes really got them energised. They had the opportunity to earn a lot of points, but they also received meaningful recognition. I was really impressed by how much our login engagement increased over time.

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.

The myKudos [Awardco] platform is easy to use and highly beneficial. I truly appreciate the ability to both give and receive kudos, and the rewards offered are incredibly generous. It’s a well-rounded, thoughtful initiative by PMG that really prioritises employee appreciation.

ClickUp
 
 
At ClickUp we like to recognise employees on their work anniversaries. Awardco makes this infinitely easier by automating the process. Now, employees receive a timely email on the day of their anniversary along with a small gift. It's just one small way we're able to express our gratitude and now we're able to do it without any manual labour on our end.

Recognition can mean different things to different people, but for everyone, you want to feel seen and valued for the work you do. We were able to launch our first global recognition programme, STAR, with the help of 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.

Our people use their points for vacations, holidays, gifts… it’s meaningful to them.
Roshan Varghese
Sr. Director, Environment, Health & Safety
Our team loves that they can spend their points on anything—from company swag (print-on-demand) to Amazon purchases and gift cards from thousands of merchants. That flexibility makes recognition feel truly personal.
