Awardco made it easy for every employee, whether in Dallas or the UK, to feel seen, valued, and celebrated.

Recognition is vital in a large, fast-paced, and dynamic environment like ours. It motivates our people, reinforces our corporate behaviours, and helps create a culture where everyone feels valued and engaged.

The High Flyer programme has created a culture where both individual and team contributions are celebrated. Success is seen as a shared journey, and recognition helps strengthen that sense of unity.

We have an on-the-spot recognition programme where leaders can immediately recognise a CRP for demonstrating safe behaviour. That recognition is visible across the organisation, which motivates others to do the same. Instead of focusing on what went wrong, we’ve shifted our culture to spotlight what’s being done right—and that’s encouraged everyone to follow that path.

Awardco makes it really easy to select colleagues that you want to recognise, whether it's one, whether it's multiple. Recognition helps build trust with teammates and leaders.

Alera Group
 
 
We do an annual engagement survey, and we do see a lot of comments from people saying they love to work here because of the people they work with. We get a lot of good comments about working with others.
Pam Johnson
VP of Human Resources
Alera Group
 
 
And so Awardco has allowed people to recognise their coworkers in a public way, and we see it every day. Collaboration is in the DNA of Alera Group, and appreciation is absolutely central and core to effective collaboration.
Kristie White
AVP, Change Strategy & Organisation Development
Alera Group
 
 
Colleagues have to choose a value from The Collaborative Way when they recognize, making our recognition feed daily proof of why our values are so important. It’s such a powerfully positive place. Leaders are really taking notice—they want to see their teams at the top of the adoption leaderboard because they know the impact our values have on employee performance and retention.

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.

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.
Jodi Gonzales
HR Manager
The entire experience, from sourcing and implementation to trouble-shooting and recognition, has been seamless and easy...I love the platform!

Everybody wants to come to work every day and feel as though they're making a meaningful contribution to the business. So, when you finally get to hear that what you've been working so hard on has made an impact, it's incredibly rewarding.
Chris Berg
Executive Vice President, Fleet Management
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)
NIBCO
 
 
People like to be recognised for what they’ve contributed. They’re proud of their work—and they should be.

We did our first cycling project on the runway. It was a crazy and challenging idea, but the team did an amazing job—and receiving a High Flyer for it felt incredible.
