Celebrate lifeoutside of work

Celebrate employees’ real-life milestones—because when you recognise the whole person, not just the job description, magic happens.

Return on recognition

Why celebrate life’s big moments?

Recognising your employees’ personal milestones shows that you see them, value them, and care about more than just deadlines or ROI. When people feel truly appreciated, they stick around, work harder, and show up happier.

We were really worried that clinical staff wouldn't be able to log in, being away from their desks. But that hasn't been an issue. Our emergency department senior director, for example, uses it right on the spot. We've seen a strong showing from our clinical departments.

Getting buy-in was super easy. No one really questions it. After all, what's wrong with recognising people and telling them they did a good job?
Christina Castro
Training Leader
Citizens Business Bank
 
 
And we've also tied that to wellness... Every year, we encourage our associates to go get their annual physical. If you turn [a] form in, you get Awardco points. It's another way to tie healthy lifestyle to what's important to us in the bank to making an impact with our associates.

One of the biggest things we were looking for was a platform that's easily accessible for all of our employees. We needed it to be simple and intuitive, and not take a lot of training.

As I’ve transitioned contractors into full-time roles, I’ve used myKudos [Awardco] as an incentive to help them engage with PMG’s culture. It may take time to fully understand all the offerings, but seeing kudos in action helps new team members recognise the value of the platform.

Awardco's platform and programme are far and away the best I've seen in my career. Based on behavioral science with an intuitive user interface (and truly customizable reporting!), it is a game changer in employee engagement and appreciation.

We wanted to make recognition easy and exciting for our blue collar workers to participate in, and Awardco's capabilities have made that possible.

Awardco is an excellent tool to reward employees and colleagues that deserve recognition for their work. It's easy to use and has just the right amount of customisation.

The thing I like most is the ability to customise programmes and recognise employees with and without monetary value.

I've used Awardco at two different companies in two different industries—not only is the platform easy to navigate, it allows you to customise it to fit your employees' needs.

We really like the redemption options and how Awardco integrates with Amazon — the platform's ease-of-use has empowered us to handle our growing employee population.
Monica Delgado
Senior Manager of Total Rewards
Our team loves that they can spend their points on anything—from company swag (print-on-demand) to Amazon purchases and gift cards from thousands of merchants. That flexibility makes recognition feel truly personal.

Sr. Manager Employee Engagement & CSR
Amur Equipment Finance
 
 
We recently pulled an in-platform report to cheque on usage, and then we reached out to people individually to improve adoption—especially managers. Since then, engagement has been significantly higher, and our culture of recognition is growing—even our executives are recognising.

Our recognition was all over the place before. Awardco brought everything into one centralised, impactful platform.
