Awardco has given us the opportunity to figure out how to put that personal touch back into recognition even if employees are remote.

After COVID hit we had over 1800 employees go remote. Our HQ campus became a ghost town. We couldn't do the high touch thing anymore, but still wanted to engage our workforce. Because of the nature of remote work we didn't even know which employees were where, and there was no way we could use our old system of bi-annual distribution. We had gotten so much positive feedback with our service anniversary programme that we reached out to Awardco to see if they could do something to help us with our bonus programme.

This integration to our Slack channel… makes it very easy and seamless. There’s this running log of all of these shout outs, which I think is really powerful.

It’s really meaningful to see CRPs who are out on the road by themselves, along with employees working from home, still interacting and connecting through the platform. It’s almost like our 4Refuel Facebook—bringing everyone together no matter where they’re working.

Almost a third of our associates are remote. So while we don't get to see them every day, Awardco has provided a platform where they are very visible.

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.

We created ‘Celebrating Culture’—a programme where we reward engagement at everything from costume contests to lunch-and-learns. Awardco makes it easy to motivate and recognise employees both in person and remotely.

We wouldn’t have chosen Awardco if it weren’t so user-friendly. It’s clean, intuitive, and seamlessly integrates with Outlook and Teams—where our people already are.
