Awardco is not just a fantastic recognition solution, but a brilliant technology platform that also facilitates recognition. Awardco has given us a level of confidence we previously lacked.

Before Awardco, we had no idea how many gift cards were being sent out or when, but now we have real-time budgetary updates. It's been a game changer.

I cannot tell you what a relief it was to be able to integrate metadata from our HRIS system so that birthdays and service awards were automatically recognised and sent to our WebPTers. This was a huge, huge accomplishment for our employee engagement.

Awardco not only ensures each employee receives the recognition they deserve from the company, but it provides a meaningful way for team members to shine a spotlight on each other's contributions daily, which would otherwise be nearly impossible to do with our 100% remote workforce.
Lindsay Obrentz
Vice President, Marketing and Communications
Awardco has made employees' lives easier. Working outside in the elements with the customers can be tough, but being recognised, seen, heard, and valued makes it easier.

There is never a good time to switch to a new system, but I also know that employees were eager for something new. Awardco has given us incredible power and flexibility with our recognition programmes because of the millions of options to choose from, and the ability for employees to choose their own rewards has been a game changer. We know what we're getting, we know we're getting the best price, and our employees couldn't be happier.

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.

Employee recognition that truly rewards.

Build culture, incentivise performance and drive engagement with meaningful recognition and rewards—without adding hassle or complications.
