Our investment to leverage the Centre of Excellence team at Awardco was the best decision we made. Katie didn’t just advise, she partnered. She brought deep healthcare expertise and helped us translate what recognition should feel like for clinicians into something that actually works for a deskless, clinical workforce. With her leadership, we built our Awardco instance as a true virtual haven: a values-based recognition experience designed with and for our teams, easily accessible, and directly tied to our mission. The result is an always-on programme that makes it easy to celebrate the moments that matter — strengthening connection, belonging, and pride across the organisation.

Since joining, I’ve found myKudos [Awardco] posts to be a great way to learn what others are doing across the agency. I’ve even picked up ideas from shoutouts that I’ve been able to implement on my own accounts. It’s more than recognition—it’s a source of inspiration.

We wouldn’t have chosen Awardco if it weren’t so user-friendly. It’s clean, intuitive, and seamlessly integrates with Outlook and Teams—where our people already are.

We think a lot about our frontline employees. They're the ones that make us who we are and drive our business, and we wanted to make sure they knew we appreciated them. Awardco does that.

We do a lot of remote work activities where you can win something. We do a lot of these contests, and I used to go to Amazon and send a $25 gift card to the winners, but now I do it through Awardco. It's in the system, trackable, and much more streamlined.

Awardco makes it really easy to select colleagues that you want to recognise, whether it's one, whether it's multiple. Recognition helps build trust with teammates and leaders.

Overall, the experience I've had with Awardco has been nothing short of amazing.

Almost a third of our associates are remote. So while we don't get to see them every day, Awardco has provided a platform where they are very visible.
