With Awardco we now have more visibility into our incentive budgets than ever, and can be more judicious about our incentive spend.
Lacy Andersen
Project Manager
The Nest Schools
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.

We appreciate the user-friendly interface and the ample functionality of the platform, which has enabled us to better recognize team members as well as better support end users.

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.

Senior Analyst Total Rewards
Citizens Business Bank
How do we better recognise our associates on the day to day? One of our engagement survey questions is, 'In the last seven days, have you been recognised for doing good work?' Awardco really allows us to to do that and to do a better job of that.
Jenny Ketchepaw
VP, Talent Engagement
The Nest Schools
The best decision we made was switching from our previous platform to Awardco. The customer service is excellent, the features are amazing, and we LOVE that they take our ideas and make them happen. They are always looking at innovating, which is one of our core values. We are extremely satisfied with Awardco and everyone here at The Nest LOVES the program.

Director of Core Values
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.
