Recognition is powerful. When you recognise someone, you feel just as good as when you’re being recognised. The Awardco feed is my ‘positive scroll.’ It lifts everyone’s spirits.

Grâce à Awardco, nous avons pu créer une offre où ils peuvent choisir parmi une variété de cadeaux. C'est super pratique de cette façon. Ces cadeaux sont exclusifs. C'est créé juste pour eux. Nous avons fait des chandails, des sacs, des pulls à col zippé, des sacs à dos… nous avons fait des raquettes de pickleball.

It’s so easy to express appreciation… people go above and beyond, and it matters to let them know you see it.

Awardco has made employees' lives easier. Working outside in the elements with the customers can be tough, but being recognised, seen, heard, and valued makes it easier.

Avant Awardco, notre processus était lourd. Nos représentants passaient des centaines d'heures à empiler, livrer et emballer les cadeaux. Maintenant que nous utilisons Awardco, ils ont pu consacrer leur [time] ailleurs.

Talented, motivated, competitive people are just attracted to this brand. Humans are very similar. They wanna be seen. They wanna be recognised. They wanna be valued.

Colleagues have to choose a value from The Collaborative Way when they recognize, making our recognition feed daily proof of why our values are so important. It’s such a powerfully positive place. Leaders are really taking notice—they want to see their teams at the top of the adoption leaderboard because they know the impact our values have on employee performance and retention.
Pam Johnson
VP of HR
Great platform to help us engage our global workforce. Awardco is one of the few solutions that offers language support across Asia and the Americas, and our workforce has embraced it positively.
