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.

I really like the fact that the company I work for, GoHealth utilises this programme to incentive our team to help motivate us to perform our everyday job. They provide us with Awardco points when we're in training, helping us to retain product knowledge and also as an extra incentive to hit our metrics. Really an awesome programme!

Seventy-five percent of our employees are out in the field, so how do we get them excited and engaged? The safety programmes really got them energised. They had the opportunity to earn a lot of points, but they also received meaningful recognition. I was really impressed by how much our login engagement increased over time.

We're very deliberate in the culture that we built. It is a constant effort every day. We value integrity, innovation, and we have an awesome culture because of who we hire. We've got a huge team of really talented individuals. They need to know that they're looked up to, that what they do is impactful and it means a lot to those around them.

[Awardco] was something that was easy to use. I knew that healthcare provider's first priority is their patient, so how do we make it so easy that they can participate and still make sure that they're still taking care of the patient.

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

It's a very fast paced environment. There's a lot of rapport between people and everyone gets along really well and we can joke about the things that are maybe stressful, but we also really celebrate the big wins together.

The product that we're putting out is a lot of fun, but it is not easy to do what we do every single week. People are working really, really hard, and if they feel like just another cog in the machine, that can get disheartening really quickly. Taking that extra time to show appreciation for above-and-beyond effort is really important and reinforces good relationships.

It's really a cultural shift that has been positive for us.

I recently recognised a graduate trainee for leading a reverse mentoring panel during Learning Week. That acknowledgment boosted her confidence and showed that meaningful contributions can come from anyone, regardless of age, experience, or role.

We're present in pretty much every continent in the world, and there's no limitation to our recognition system. We see recognitions from Brazil to the US, from Japan to China, from South Africa to France, and everyone is engaged.

I really appreciate how myKudos [Awardco] offers different ‘classifications’ of shoutouts, so no matter how someone went above and beyond, there’s a way to recognise it. We work with some incredible people, and it’s important to celebrate them however we can.

We wanted everything to go through one platform—and that's how we landed on Awardco.

Awardco has provided significant time savings. Our previous programme was clunky, manual, and time consuming. Now, with the automation capabilities available through Awardco, my team saves 5-8 hours a week!

When I personally received a High Flyer, it was amazing. Knowing that my efforts were appreciated—especially by senior management—meant a lot.
