Why employee recognition matters more than ever

Productivity

improvement in productivity

When employees feel genuinely valued, they bring more focus, energy, and pride to their work. Recognition fuels that sense of purpose, leading to higher productivity and better business outcomes.

Retention

decrease in turnover

Employees are more likely to stay when they feel seen, valued, and appreciated. Recognition builds connection and loyalty, reducing turnover and strengthening culture.

How to Improve Rewards & Recognition

“Modern recognition with Awardco has created an ecosystem of appreciation. What we’ve found, as employees have recognized each other, is that they’re motivated long term. Employees want to enjoy their work and be successful, and if we recognize them for their success, they’ll know they’re doing a great job and can improve every single day.”

See how teams succeed with Awardco

We do a lot of remote work activities where you can win something. We do a lot of these contests, and I used to go to Amazon and send a $25 gift card to the winners, but now I do it through Awardco. It's in the system, trackable, and much more streamlined.

Amberlee Taylor

Sr. Communications Specialist

Just managing our custom rewards felt like a full-time job with our previous vendor—it took all day every Friday. With Awardco, I don't have to do any of the manual fulfillment work anymore. I'm saving 6-8 hours a week, just managing orders.

Sara Beer

Director of Core Values

Since joining, I’ve found myKudos [Awardco] posts to be a great way to learn what others are doing across the agency. I’ve even picked up ideas from shoutouts that I’ve been able to implement on my own accounts. It’s more than recognition—it’s a source of inspiration.

Colby Green

Paid Social Senior Associate

When you have employees working hard from home juggling family responsibilities, and yet still being physically separate from their team, a simple birthday message and gift they get to pick out creates a meaningful touchpoint, and allows them to take a moment for themselves.

Rosie Scannell

Global HR

When employees feel seen and appreciated, they’re more engaged and engagement drives performance. Using Awardco helps leaders and managers recognize impact in real time and that momentum drives continued and lasting success.

Monica Gunderson

We needed something to unify our recognition programs for all our different locations, and we found that and more with Awardco.
