Testimonials

What ourcustomers say

The metrics spoke for themselves—over eighty percent utilisation and more than eight thousand recognitions. It’s exciting to see people using the programme and finding real value in it.

Paula Useche

People & Culture Manager

Previously every manager hand-wrote a message to their employees every six months thanking them for their hard work, and it was all tied in with the bonus distribution. It was very high-touch, very labour intensive, and we had the process down to a science. We liked the connections that formed between managers and employees as a result of this programme, but after COVID-19 most of our workforce went remote. Our semi-annual tradition wasn't possible any longer, nor was it feasible.

Kent Streuling

SVP of HR

What I appreciate most is how Awardco takes the effort out of recognising staff. Built-in programmes automatically reward employees for years of service and anniversaries, making sure no milestone goes unnoticed.

Senior Director of Customer Service and Support

When we implemented Awardco, we refreshed everything and synced all service dates to our HRIS. It works flawlessly now—and the person who used to manage that spreadsheet is very happy.

Dawn Bloch

Chief People Officer

We wouldn’t have chosen Awardco if it weren’t so user-friendly. It’s clean, intuitive, and seamlessly integrates with Outlook and Teams—where our people already are.

Tisa Penny

Engagement & Events Lead, 2025 Recognition Rockstar Winner

Since joining, I’ve found myKudos [Awardco] posts to be a great way to learn what others are doing across the agency. I’ve even picked up ideas from shoutouts that I’ve been able to implement on my own accounts. It’s more than recognition—it’s a source of inspiration.

Colby Green

Paid Social Senior Associate

Our investment to leverage the Centre of Excellence team at Awardco was the best decision we made. Katie didn’t just advise, she partnered. She brought deep healthcare expertise and helped us translate what recognition should feel like for clinicians into something that actually works for a deskless, clinical workforce. With her leadership, we built our Awardco instance as a true virtual haven: a values-based recognition experience designed with and for our teams, easily accessible, and directly tied to our mission. The result is an always-on programme that makes it easy to celebrate the moments that matter — strengthening connection, belonging, and pride across the organisation.
