Research consistently shows the compounding impact of public recognition, which creates a snowball effect. It simply helps people work better together and feel more like part of the team.

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.

All of our locations have TV screens in some area of the facility. When you look up at the screen, not only do you get to see the recognition that you may have shared with somebody or that you may have received, but you get to see it across the company. Having a programme that enables that to be done and shared is very special.

AwardCodes are just like handing out cash—they’re quick, powerful, and remove all the admin. It’s a bit of an Oprah moment: ‘You get an AwardCode! And you get an AwardCode!’

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.

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.
