When vetting different rewards and recognition platforms, MasterBrand Cabinets aimed to find someone who could work with them to craft programs that fit their needs and their culture. They wanted something that all of their employees—both office and manufacturing—could see, feel, and be invested in.
That’s when they found Awardco. They worked to create a program that looks and feels very MasterBrand Cabinets, instead of something that feels more like a third-party tool that was hastily tacked on as an afterthought. The flexibility that they’ve taken advantage of has made their recognition program feel authentic and genuine, and has helped them reach their entire workforce, no matter where they work.
Prior to Awardco, MasterBrand Cabinets didn't have consistent visibility across all their recognition programs, and they didn't have a consistent (or effective) way to recognize employees. The combination of complicated platforms and manual processes made it difficult for leaders to take advantage of previous recognition tools and celebrate their teams.
With Awardco, MasterBrand Cabinets has provided a clearer and simpler way to manage rewards and recognition that drives the culture of recognition and achievement from leaders to associates. With a clean, easy-to-use platform, admins can quickly and easily manage recognitions, promote engagement, and budget in a streamlined way. Less time worrying about logistics means more time celebrating the awesome teams and people!
A branded, fitting, and transparent recognition program wouldn’t solve all of the challenges MasterBrand Cabinets was running into, however. Because more than 70% of their associates work in a manufacturing setting instead of being near an office or computer, recognition—both receiving and giving it—was hard to come by.
So MasterBrand Cabinets took advantage of the customizability of Awardco to create a program that reaches everyone. They were able to tie a large portion of their recognition budget to associates directly instead of leaving everything in the hands of managers. This simplicity has encouraged more recognition across the board.
As more managers realized they could easily recognize the people around them through Awardco’s platform, the employees of MasterBrand Cabinets have been able to form a greater sense of camaraderie and a stronger foundation of recognition across all teams.
“It’s really a cultural shift that has been positive for us.” - Ali Daunhauer, HR Director of Organizational Transformation
Not only does MasterBrand Cabinets now have the visibility and ease-of-access to their recognition activity, they can also more judiciously direct their programs so that more employees can participate in their evolving culture—whether they’re in front of a computer or not. This nimbleness and flexibility has seen usage rise, and MasterBrand Cabinets sees that trend continuing into the future.
