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.”

ARUP Laboratories
Soon after our implementation we created a financial recognition programme through Awardco for managers and supervisors to recognise their employees for extra efforts. Now our managers and supervisors have their own budgeted amount to use at their discretion to award their employees at any time, and they don't have to wait for approval to do so.

Talent Development Manager
Americare Senior Living
Recognition fits into our strategies for turnover and helping us retain good caregivers… because everyone wants to know how they're performing. They want to know if they're doing a good job. And sometimes we forget to stop and say thank you. Recognition helps us do that easily and consistently.
Mary Eaves
Senior VP of Operations (Assisted Living Division)
Americare Senior Living
Thanks to Christi and the Awardco Center of Excellence, we now have a strong thought partner that shares new and different strategies to help us further elevate the Americare recognition experience. We have tested the market, and this collaborative consultation and creative problem solving from recognition practitioners differentiates Awardco. In practice, it has built our confidence that we have business partners who are sincerely invested in helping us take recognition from being a perk to a powerful strategic driver that delivers tangible impact.
Sarah Mazzocco
Chief People Officer
MagnaFlow
Our turnover definitely went down after implementing Awardco, especially compared to the previous year. We've noticed that recognition, along with rewards like Amazon items and prepaid Visa cards, has had a big impact on retention without being a huge cost to the company.
Sonia Magdaleno
Talent and Engagement Specialist
Alera Group
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 is not just a recognition tool—it’s a risk mitigation solution. Our tax and payroll teams love that we can now accurately track and report gifting, with proper IRS compliance.
