With 70% of our workforce in what we call frontline roles—specifically our frontline manufacturing and distribution positions—it was vital for us when implementing this that we could connect more effectively.

One of the best things about myKudos [Awardco] is seeing everyone get behind a recognition post—commenting, reacting, and adding to the praise. I love scrolling through the kudos channel and seeing teammates from other accounts getting excited about the great work they’re doing. It really creates a sense of community across the agency.

When employees are working hard from home, juggling family responsibilities while physically separated from their team, a simple birthday message and a gift they can choose themselves creates a meaningful touchpoint, allowing them to take a moment for themselves.

The beauty of Awardco is that it empowers everyone to ensure good work doesn’t go unnoticed. When people see recognitions coming through, it’s meaningful for the recipient, but it also shows everyone else how important recognition is. That’s what Awardco allows us to do—make appreciation visible across the company.

We are trying to bridge the gap in accessibility so that everyone can participate. Bravo makes recognition more visible for us all. It takes a team—everyone has a piece of the puzzle—and recognition is something we can take home with us.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does Awardco help manufacturers support deskless and plant-floor employees?
 

Awardco helps manufacturers create recognition experiences that are easier to access across plant, warehouse, field, and other deskless environments. This gives companies a more practical way to support participation across the workforce instead of relying on a recognition experience built only for office-based employees.

‍

Does Awardco offer mobile access for manufacturing employees?
 

Yes. Awardco offers mobile-friendly access and a mobile app experience that helps employees participate on the go. This is especially important for manufacturers that need recognition to be easier to access across shifts, sites, and workforce types.

Can Awardco support recognition across multiple plants or locations?
 

Yes. Awardco helps manufacturers create a more consistent recognition programme across locations while still supporting local flexibility where needed. That makes it easier to scale recognition across plants, teams, and business units within one broader platform strategy.

Can Awardco help replace manual service awards or outdated reward programmes?
 

Yes. Awardco helps manufacturers move away from manual reward processes, disconnected workflows, and older recognition programmes by bringing recognition, reward choice, and programme administration into one platform. That gives teams a more scalable and easier-to-manage approach over time.

Can Awardco help recognition feel fairer across hourly and salaried teams?
 

Awardco helps manufacturers create a more accessible and consistent recognition experience across different workforce groups. That can help organisations reduce the risk of recognition being concentrated only among office-based or more connected employees.

Can Awardco help manufacturers improve engagement and retention?
 

Awardco helps manufacturers create a more visible, consistent employee recognition experience across the workforce. This can support stronger engagement, reinforce culture, and help recognition become a more active part of the employee experience over time.
