Awardco was easy to use. I knew that a healthcare provider's first priority is their patient, so how do we make it simple enough that they can participate while still ensuring they are looking after the patient?

And we've also tied that to wellness... Every year, we encourage our associates to go get their annual physical. If you turn [a] form in, you get Awardco points. It's another way to tie healthy lifestyle to what's important to us in the bank to making an impact with our associates.

Employees are awarded a certain amount of points every month to give out to their peers. We encourage people to recognise not just within their team, but across the company—anyone who goes above and beyond or makes your day a little easier.

We now have complete visibility into budget usage and recognition. Previously, nobody could see recognition at all—it was always done on a small scale, one-to-one from manager to employee. Now everyone in the company can see the successes of others and celebrate them, and we can see how managers are using the funds we have allocated. Our budgets have equalised almost entirely—down to the last penny.

Our client success representative helped us create a training and recording module for the platform to show employees how to use it properly. You rarely find a company willing to spend the time to ensure you are properly equipped.

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.
