What customers are saying

The flexible rewards offered are my favorite part. Rather than giving gift cards or merchandise that individuals might not use, they get to decide what they want.

Recognition truly is a cornerstone of PMG’s culture because it fuels engagement, strengthens relationships, and reinforces the behaviors that drive our success. It allows you to immediately recognise big and small wins where that impact is immediately felt.

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.

What I like best about Awardco is how easy they make it to receive your chosen reward. I selected a gift card and was given several ways to redeem it—perfect since I don't have a printer at home. I simply had an e-copy sent to my email! More than anything, it felt amazing to be recognised. In a previous job, recognition was rare, so knowing my hard work and dedication were noticed really boosted my confidence. Even a small gesture like this goes a long way in lifting morale.

Awardco makes it easy to recognise people for the awesome things they do—and it's great that recognition converts to points you can spend on real products or gift cards. I love that I can send recognition directly from Slack!

From the time that we implemented to six years later, we are still just as satisfied as we were on day one.

We'd help them get through if they're not computer savvy and help them get their logins created and get set up.

We do an annual engagement survey, and we do see a lot of comments from people saying they love to work here because of the people they work with. We get a lot of good comments about working with others.
Pam Johnson

The Awardco platform is the exact solution we were looking for. I love that we've been able to customise the solution for multiple internal use cases that have come up since launch.

Awardco is central to our strategy around helping people feel connected across the organisation in the work that they do. Our strength is that we have diversity across all our offices. So collaboration may be the soul of a layer group, that tie that binds our unique cultures together. But we really want to celebrate and recognise the diversity across our offices, and that is our strength. Awardco helps us create that visible platform for everybody to see the good work and the unique ways that people are solving problems around the organisation.

Awardco allows everything to support our core values and our mission, which is very important to us because that strengthens our culture.

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.
