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

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.'

Melissa York

SVP, Head of People & Culture

We needed something to unify our recognition programmes for all our different locations, and we found that and more with Awardco.

Storey O'Barr

Recognition and Communications Specialist

How do we better recognise our associates on the day to day? One of our engagement survey questions is, 'In the last seven days, have you been recognised for doing good work?' Awardco really allows us to to do that and to do a better job of that.

Jenny Ketchepaw

VP, Talent Engagement

You get the same feeling when you are recognised as when you are recognising someone else. Awardco gives you that platform and makes it so easy to gain those feelings. I love seeing my team being recognised or my leaders recognising the teams.

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

[Awardco] was something that was easy to use. I knew that healthcare provider's first priority is their patient, so how do we make it so easy that they can participate and still make sure that they're still taking care of the patient.
