I genuinely enjoy reading the daily kudos in Slack. Seeing the names and stories of colleagues going above and beyond is inspiring—it motivates me every day and reminds me why I’m proud to be part of PMG.

When employees feel seen and appreciated, they’re more engaged and engagement drives performance. Using Awardco helps leaders and managers recognise impact in real time and that momentum drives continued and lasting success.

If we retain a teacher, that’s 20 students we get to serve. Going from 45% turnover to 8% means we’ve kept 85–90 more staff. That’s an incredible impact on both our children and our budget.

Automation is something that is really important for us—we try to automate as much as we can so that we can focus on what's important. And Awardco's automation and integrations have fit in perfectly.

I've been using Awardco for our Monthly Wellness Challenges for over a year. Each month, I create a themed EARN programme, and participants are entered into a points-based drawing. Awardco has helped me build consistent programming, schedule ahead, and never worry about delays. The reporting tools capture participation and top performers, offering insights that have truly transformed our Wellness Programme. Even our most tech-challenged employees use the platform with ease. We've received nothing but positive feedback from employees who had been asking for more recognition.

I like that at the end of the year (or whenever you decide) you can cash out and have a nice treat. It's a great way to gamify work. I also appreciate that events like work anniversaries give you bonus points. This year I was able to get a nice Uber Eats gift card compliments of my job and Awardco.

Awardco helps bring us together—not just as colleagues, but as a community. Earning points for doing well and participating in events makes me feel recognised and valued. I love how easy it is to track and redeem points, and the email reminders keep me motivated. As someone who tends to be shy at work, Awardco encourages me to engage more, and having points to redeem feels like a little shopping spree to reward that effort.

People are busy. It's hard. We have our highest volumes we've ever had with patients. But when people take the time to celebrate one another, then we can really see that hope and that goodness beyond that. And so I really think that why we're successful is because our team cares about one another, and they take the time to recognise one another.
