FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Awardco automate employee data and HRIS integration? 
Awardco can connect with an organisation’s HRIS or employee data source to keep employee records up to date. Depending on the organisation’s systems and requirements, data can be exchanged through a native HRIS integration, API, SFTP file feed, or another supported connection.
HR teams can typically define the data fields Awardco receives, the sync cadence, and how changes such as new hires, transfers, and departures are handled. This can reduce manual user-file maintenance and help keep eligibility, permissions, reporting, and automated programmes aligned with the organisation’s current employee data.
How granularly can HR admins control roles and permissions? 
Awardco supports configurable roles and permissions so organisations can determine who can access specific administrative functions, programmes, budgets, reports, and employee data.
For example, an organisation may give a programme administrator access to one programme, provide a regional administrator access to one country or entity, or give finance and payroll teams broader reporting access. Visibility can also be structured around organisational metadata, such as region, department, or employee group.
This allows organisations to delegate day-to-day administration while maintaining appropriate control over sensitive data and platform settings.
Can Awardco automate onboarding, birthdays, anniversaries, and other employee lifecycle programmes? 
Yes. Awardco can use employee data and programme rules to support automated moments such as onboarding, birthdays, work anniversaries, and service milestones.
Admins can configure the relevant eligibility rules, timing, award amounts, communications, and recipients. Once configured, these programmes can run consistently without requiring HR teams to track every employee milestone manually.
How do Awardco approval workflows work? 
Awardco can route awards and nominations through configurable approval workflows. Organisations can set rules based on factors such as award type, value, programme, employee group, or organisational structure.
Workflows may include one or more approval levels and can direct requests to managers, programme owners, budget owners, or other designated approvers. This helps HR teams create consistent review processes while reducing reliance on email-based approvals.
Can manager budgets be created and replenished automatically? 
Yes. Organisations can configure manager budgets using rules such as headcount, direct reports, employee groups, programmes, or other organisational data.
Budgets may be reloaded on a recurring schedule, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly, and organisations can define rules for rollover, allocation, and access. This helps HR teams maintain consistent funding without manually calculating and assigning every manager’s budget.
Budget visibility and management can also be limited through roles, permissions, and programme configuration.
Can HR teams manage global, regional, and entity-specific programmes from one platform? 
Yes. Awardco can support centrally governed programmes with localised rules and experiences for different countries, regions, entities or employee groups.
Depending on the organisation’s configuration, administrators can use employee data such as country, location, entity or department to determine eligibility, programme access, available rewards, currencies, languages and redemption options.
This allows global HR teams to maintain a consistent platform while adapting recognition and rewards programs to local organisational needs.
