Overall Satisfaction with Awardco

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
  • Less costs
  • employee retention
  • culture building
It’s not super user friendly compared to other apps I have used in the past, and it also offers not as many partners. One feature that would improve it, would be connecting award bucks to a digital credit card. That way employees can spend it on what they want without having to get a visa gift card which is the current solution/ work around.
Motivosity is hands down better. Easier for companies with employees in multiple countries, easier to spend the money you receive, easier to gift the money, easier to interact with and more user friendly. However, Motivosity is also more expensive and I find that cost is hard to swallow when you want to just invest the money into employees.

Do you think Awardco delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Did Awardco live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Awardco go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Awardco again?

Yes

Awardco is a very well priced solution that allows for recognition, interactions and more. I think it’s well suited for small to mid sized companies who want to honour and recognize their coworkers but not put tons of bloat into a software to do so. It may be less appropriate if your company has employees in multiple countries or is over 200 people.
