Celebrate lifeoutside of work

Celebrate employees’ real-life milestones—because when you recognise the whole person, not just the job description, magic happens.

Return on recognition

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.

People are busy. It's hard. We have our highest volumes we've ever had with patients. But when people take the time to celebrate one another, then we can really see that hope and that goodness beyond that. And so I really think that why we're successful is because our team cares about one another, and they take the time to recognise one another.

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.

We launched our The Collaborative Way initiative with a half-day workshop for all colleagues, facilitated by internal Collaborative Way Champions that traveled from office to office. We would do these engaging workshops across the company, and leaders would ask us, ‘Now that colleagues have completed the workshop, how do we keep these principles front and center?’ While we developed other standalone follow-ups, it was only when we implemented Awardco that we truly felt like we had a compelling, daily solution to that question.

I absolutely love the platform—it's easy for anyone to recognise someone else in a meaningful way, and the points exchange system is great, too, and an awesome way to reward good work.
