You get what you pay for - it's good

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Awardco for employee recognition and to boost our culture. With Awardco, coworkers and leads can write posts about why a particular employee did well on a specific task or campaign. Along with words of encouragement you can also give gift cards or “award bucks” which are similar to money that the person can either spend on themselves or use to give other co workers awards. Awards do not need to be tied to gift cards or award bucks.

Pros

  • Loyalty
  • appreciation
  • Employee retention

Cons

  • Multi national
  • Ease of use
  • Flexible

Return on Investment

  • Less costs
  • employee retention

Increase engagement with Awardco

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were manually tracking and awarding employees for birthdays and anniversaries and running through payroll. There was very little recognition besides that. We now have automated programs for birthdays, anniversaries, wellness and recognition. This has freed up time in our HR/payroll department. Payroll now only has to import tax details for our employees and all our programs are funded at the beginning of each year.

Pros

  • Platform is easy to use and looks great.
  • Constant improvements.
  • Lots of help to make our recognition program successful.

Cons

  • Budgets are still a bit complex.
  • Wish that you didn't have to pay for additional programs to add physical Awardco point cards.

Return on Investment

  • Reduced workload
  • No more manual tracking
  • Increased engagement

Usability

Highly motivating, highly recommended

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for different spiffs and incentives for our sales organization. It has been really helpful in motivating teams and individuals to work extra hard for an additional bonus. It also makes it a lot easier for us to redeem those rewards for actual Items and not just gift cards.

Pros

  • Easy to use point system for understanding how much you have to spend on different items.
  • Easy to use inventory system so you can explore different items and products that fit within your point values.

Cons

  • Maybe just more products...?

Return on Investment

  • Increased productivity
  • Elevated employee engagement
  • Higher total sales opportunities

Awardco for the WIN!

Pros

  • Every employee has an account.
  • There are multiple ways to use your points.
  • All points are stored in one place & easy to find.

Cons

  • I would love if I could award points as a manager.
  • Ordering Amazon products directly from the Awardco site does not come with tracking for your items.
  • The products ordered directly from the Awardco site take a really long time to arrive at your home.

Return on Investment

  • We are a company that thrives on competition & rewards. Awardco has helped us simplify that rewards process, and it's much easier for us as we create competition prizes.
  • Our employees are much more engaged in the competitions because they know they will win points that can be used on just about anything.
  • Since we've started using Awardco we have hit record numbers in sales in a month.
