What customers are saying

I really like the fact that the company I work for, GoHealth utilises this programme to incentive our team to help motivate us to perform our everyday job. They provide us with Awardco points when we're in training, helping us to retain product knowledge and also as an extra incentive to hit our metrics. Really an awesome programme!

It's really a cultural shift that has been positive for us.

One of the biggest things we were looking for was a platform that's easily accessible for all of our employees. We needed it to be simple and intuitive, and not take a lot of training.
Lauren Long
HR Operations Manager
I love the social aspect of the platform—seeing how others are being recognise and rewarded inspires me to give more awards myself.

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.

Prior to Awardco, the recognition process was manual and time-consuming. Everything was done through emails and spreadsheets, with physical delivery of plaques and gifts. Important milestones were sometimes missed, despite our best intentions.

Awardco offers such a clean design, way ahead of its competitors, along with excellent offerings, great analytics, and wonderful customer service.

Employees are awarded a certain amount of points every month to give out to their peers. We encourage people to recognise not just within their team, but across the company—anyone who goes above and beyond or makes your day a little easier.

Implementation was super simple, and the Awardco team was prompt with help and provided plenty of training. After only a couple of weeks, I was able to do most things on my own, which was great.
