Use Case: Deskless Employees

External Recognition is built for any organization, and strongly supports deskless and frontline employees who spend most of their days with external parties, away from a computer. External Recognition also gives individuals an engagement mechanism to see results from their efforts in real-time and ensure they are properly rewarded and recognized.

A nurse gives exceptional care to a patient

The patient and their family want to say thank you.

Through External Recognition, the family can recognize the nurse.

The recognition will show in Awardco for all employees to see.
