success stories

Supporting the public sector

Our Regional Vice Presidents takes these cards [AwardCodes] to the General Managers conference, enabling them to award GMs on the spot for their exceptional contributions.

Ann O'Keefe

Director of Benefits

[Awardco] was something that was easy to use. I knew that healthcare provider's first priority is their patient, so how do we make it so easy that they can participate and still make sure that they're still taking care of the patient.

Madeline Quinn

Employee Experience Manager

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

Jodi Gonzales

HR Manager

The onboarding process was very encouraging. We weren't given the programme and told to figure it out on our own—we've had someone to lean on the entire time, someone who helped us navigate this big, company-wide change.

Ryan Zellner

Marketing & Corporate Communications Manager

One of the best parts of myKudos [Awardco] is seeing others rally around a recognition post—commenting, reacting, and adding to the praise. I love scrolling through the kudos channel and seeing teammates from other accounts getting hyped up for the great work they’re doing. It really creates a sense of community across the agency.

Colby Green

Paid Social Senior Associate

I was really looking for a user-friendly, up-to-speed, and easy-to-use programme that can expand in different ways, and I found it with Awardco.

Shaye McCoy

Senior Analyst Total Rewards

Change management was a concern when exploring new vendors. However, our leadership, HR, and associates have smoothly transitioned to Awardco, and they appreciate its straightforward and intuitive design, which surpasses the complexities of previous platforms.

Kerie Rogers

HR Operations Leader

The myKudos [Awardco] platform is easy to use and highly beneficial. I truly appreciate the ability to both give and receive kudos, and the rewards offered are incredibly generous. It’s a well-rounded, thoughtful initiative by PMG that really prioritises employee appreciation.
