I don't worry about the cost as much in these situations because I think having an engaged employee, a happy, satisfied employee that feels like they're part of something is going to reap a lot more rewards in the long run.

We do an annual engagement survey, and we do see a lot of comments from people saying they love to work here because of the people they work with. We get a lot of good comments about working with others.

Before we had Awardco I'd have to send out physical cards, anniversary pins, and certificates manually via our in-house mailroom or the Post Office. I was happy to do it but it did take a lot of time to keep track of everything, and it was a challenge to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Now I can look at my calendar and see the upcoming service anniversaries and feel confident that they'll be taken care of.

Recognizing your team members...it's a great way to build moral. To to get those team members to do that extra truck. There's a saying, take care of the people and they'll take care of you. And by taking care of you, it's making sure that every truck is turned in on time and every pallet is pushed through the warehouse.

Awardco is just so easy to use. At the beginning, our support rep would do everything for us, but I was able to quickly learn the platform and become more self-sufficient.

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 recognize one another.

Awardco checked all the boxes for us, from onboarding all the way up to senior leadership.
Pam Buyers
Head of Culture
What's most helpful is the freedom Awardco gives employees to choose how they'd like to spend their reward. Instead of managers handing out gift cards that might not be relevant, I can build contests or recognition programs right from my budget. It reduces expense reports and boosts engagement—especially with non-monetary rewards like peer-to-peer recognition. Their customer service is also top-notch: fast, efficient, and always helpful. I brag about Awardco almost daily.
Deanna T.
Guest Service Scheduling Manager
The entire experience, from sourcing and implementation to trouble-shooting and recognition, has been seamless and easy...I love the platform!

I love how simple Awardco is to use, both the main platform and the admin side, with how many reporting features it has to offer.

Our client success rep helped us create a training and recording module of the platform to show employees how to properly use it. You rarely find a company willing to spend the time to make sure you're properly equipped.

Awardco actually cost us less than what we were doing in the past, and it's had a bigger impact on our ROI and employee engagement.
