Spot Recognition Programs

When I pitched Awardco to our leadership team, I shared the risk of losing connection as we grow. I framed it as a strategic need. Their response? ‘Stop talking. Just do it.'

We've put a lot of resources and focus on associate engagement and overall morale and wellness. Because of the initiatives that we've put forth this year, we've realised an 8.2% reduction in our turnover rate.

It’s so easy to express appreciation… people go above and beyond, and it matters to let them know you see it.

Working with Awardco's Center of Excellence was an incredibly valuable part of shaping our recognition strategy. Katie brought a depth of real-world, enterprise experience that helped us think more holistically about what we were building and how it would scale over time. She guided us through key considerations, from award values and programme structure to governance and budget, in a way that felt both practical and aligned with our organisational goals. What stood out most was her ability to help us strike the right balance between meaningful guidelines and employee autonomy. We wanted to create a programme that maintained consistency and oversight, while still empowering employees to recognise one another in ways that feel genuine and personal. Katie provided thoughtful, practical recommendations that made that balance feel achievable. As a result, we're starting with a high level of confidence in the recognition strategy we're building at Pennrose.

We wanted to make recognition easy and exciting for our blue collar workers to participate in, and Awardco's capabilities have made that possible.

Managers now have visibility into real-time recognition, which makes performance reviews easier and more holistic.

It only takes a moment to thank someone, but that recognition stays with them and inspires them to do even better.

A quiet employee might never self-promote, but Awardco gives us the visibility to see their impact. We’ve literally had leaders say, ‘I had no idea!’ when reviewing this data.
