For us to onboard a staff member, it's probably close to about 5,000 to 6,000 dollars. As a nonprofit, I feel like going to Awardco has been a huge cost-savings advantage.

Recognition is powerful. When you recognise someone, you feel just as good as when you’re being recognised. The Awardco feed is my ‘positive scroll.’ It lifts everyone’s spirits.

People like to be recognised for what they’ve contributed. They’re proud of their work—and they should be.

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

We have a lot of different programmes to ensure we encompass all our employees. Three of them tie directly to our core values: our peer-to-peer programme, our manager-led programmes, and our safety programmes—like our Safety All-Stars, which is a monthly automated award.

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

Awardco is central to our strategy around helping people feel connected across the organisation in the work that they do. Our strength is that we have diversity across all our offices. So collaboration may be the soul of a layer group, that tie that binds our unique cultures together. But we really want to celebrate and recognise the diversity across our offices, and that is our strength. Awardco helps us create that visible platform for everybody to see the good work and the unique ways that people are solving problems around the organisation.

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.
