If I were to describe the High Five Club [Awardco] in a couple words, I'd say it's collaborative and it's contagious.

It humanises our organisation. I can wish someone a happy birthday in Philadelphia from my desk in Houston—because I saw it in the Awardco feed. That’s magic.

It is a great platform that keeps our sales team highly motivated to bring in some great numbers. I would totally recommend for more business to acquire their services and implement these incentive programmes.

One of the best parts of myKudos [Awardco] is seeing others rally around a recognition post—commenting, reacting, and adding to the praise. I love scrolling through the kudos channel and seeing teammates from other accounts getting hyped up for the great work they’re doing. It really creates a sense of community across the agency.
