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.

Awardco is not just a recognition tool—it’s a risk mitigation solution. Our tax and payroll teams love that we can now accurately track and report gifting, with proper IRS compliance.

Hertz
I'd like for others to look at Hertz and say ‘they're doing something right’. They're listening to employees, taking that feedback and continuing to build upon their recognition programmes. Just to let them know that it is part of our culture and it's not just a platform.

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.
