Incentives that drive behaviour

Not every incentive needs to be life-changing to be effective—micro incentives are built to subtly reinforce and reward behaviours without taking too much time or effort on admins’ part. And the results don’t lie.

Testimonials

What our customers say

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
Lockton
When employees feel seen and appreciated, they’re more engaged and engagement drives performance. Using Awardco helps leaders and managers recognise impact in real time and that momentum drives continued and lasting success.
Monica Gunderson
Talent Management Senior Associate
PMG
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.

Awardco significantly enhances employee engagement and helps our employees feel valued and appreciated, leading to higher morale. Offering customizable recognition programmes for Cinemark and a wide range of awards helps align with our employees' interests and ensures that all employees, from theatre staff to management, feel valued and appreciated.

Director of Benefits
Cinemark
There's plenty of research that shows the compounding impact of how when other people can see recognition, it creates that snowball effect. And so it just makes people work better together. They feel more as part of the team.

I was really looking for a user-friendly, up-to-speed, and easy-to-use programme that can expand in different ways, and I found it with Awardco.

We've put a lot of resources and focus on associate engagement and overall morale and wellness. Because of the initiatives that we've put forth this year, we've realised an 8.2% reduction in our turnover rate.
Dawn Bloch
Chief People Officer
NIBCO
Just managing our custom rewards felt like a full-time job with our previous vendor—it took all day every Friday. With Awardco, I don't have to do any of the manual fulfilment work anymore. I'm saving 6-8 hours a week, just managing orders.
