How to Improve Rewards & Recognition

“Modern recognition with Awardco has created an ecosystem of appreciation. What we’ve found, as employees have recognised each other, is that they’re motivated long term. Employees want to enjoy their work and be successful, and if we recognise them for their success, they’ll know they’re doing a great job and can improve every single day.”

See how teams succeed with Awardco

Prior to Awardco, the recognition process was manual and time-consuming. Everything was done through emails and spreadsheets, with physical delivery of plaques and gifts. Important milestones were sometimes missed, despite our best intentions.

Mallory Pence

Marketing Manager

Recognition is powerful. When you recognise someone, you feel just as good as when you’re being recognised. The Awardco feed is my ‘positive scroll.’ It lifts everyone’s spirits.

Engagement & Events Lead, 2025 Recognition Rockstar Winner

The best decision we made was switching from our previous platform to Awardco. The customer service is excellent, the features are amazing, and we LOVE that they take our ideas and make them happen. They are always looking at innovating, which is one of our core values. We are extremely satisfied with Awardco and everyone here at The Nest LOVES the program.

Sara Beer

Director of Core Values

Seventy-five percent of our employees are out in the field, so how do we get them excited and engaged? The safety programmes really got them energised. They had the opportunity to earn a lot of points, but they also received meaningful recognition. I was really impressed by how much our login engagement increased over time.
