Modern recognition with Awardco has created an ecosystem of appreciation. What we've found, as employees have recognised each other, is that they're motivated long term. Employees want to enjoy their work and be successful, and if we recognise them for their success, they'll know they're doing a great job and can improve every single day.

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.

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.
