There are many ways to define Americare’s culture, but at its foundation it has always been about recognition, recognition for our employees and for each other. We’ve built that into so many of our programmes and systems.

I've been using Awardco for our Monthly Wellness Challenges for over a year. Each month, I create a themed EARN programme, and participants are entered into a points-based drawing. Awardco has helped me build consistent programming, schedule ahead, and never worry about delays. The reporting tools capture participation and top performers, offering insights that have truly transformed our Wellness Programme. Even our most tech-challenged employees use the platform with ease. We've received nothing but positive feedback from employees who had been asking for more recognition.

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.

When I was given the task of finding an employee recognition vendor, I found five options. After doing some research, Awardco was the big winner by far.

Recognition is a huge part of that because as you provide recognition it provides inspiration, it provides nurturing, it provides levels of growth.

One year into having sunshine, our recognition, feeling like we're recognised went up ten percent. I think that's just a true testament of how much it means to us. We do have those hard days. And again, the Sunshine Recognition Hub empowers our nurses and team members. It's given us a platform to recognise, those moments of of excellence.

Our main goal was to move platforms and not lose traction because the use of the platform was so important to us. And we were able to do that. We were able to meet that goal and we exceeded that goal.

Using Awardco has given us the confidence that we've partnered with someone that knows what they're doing. We're not only saving a lot of time, but we're building the confidence of our employees as we express our appreciation to all of them worldwide.
