A great tool for employee recognition

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: Awardco has eased the work of tracking progress, and accomplishments of each and every employee, thus giving due recognition to them, by awarding them accordingly. It helps increase efficiency of both the employees and the management, thereby reducing time and effort in manually monitoring all this.

Pros:

I find this tool to be highly useful for properly recognizing the progress and accomplishments of employees. All this work can be traced and done automatically by using Awardco. Employees and other staff members can be awarded points as per their performance and achievements, which they can actually use. It's functionality is super-easy, and user interface is highly interactive.

Cons:

Pricing of the product is a bit on the higher side, as compared to its competitors. Otherwise, it is a good tool for use.

Rewards from Awardco!

5.0 12 months ago

Comments: Excellent experience! I really appreciate that the system is available for use and encourage people to use it regularly.

Pros:

Options to select an item after receiving an award. Options to reward others. Options to purchase up on items of interest if the $ award given doesn't meet the purchase price of something of interest. Options to create your own gift card amount Options for egift cards because there is a lot of fraud with actual gift cards in stores now.

Cons:

not used enough by the team. The more everyone on the team and supervisors use this system, the more positive the culture will be.

Don't Bother

1.0 last year

Comments: I don't know how the creator of this convinced any reasonable leader to sign on unless that leader is getting a kickback from purchases.

Pros:

Unless you are a lazy manager who "has to do something" for employee recognition, this concept is insulting to intelligence and to the value of the people who actually generate a company's income.

Cons:

This is niche nickel and diming. "Let's offer gift cards on a website, and charge fees!" Are "leaders" really that unmotivated and indifferent towards their workers?

Awardco is pretty awesome!

4.0 12 months ago

Comments: I love having AWARDCO available. I have used to get many items as a treat to myself

Pros:

The points/awards provide incentive to and from fellow associates. To step up to the plate and both help others and reward others for appreciation

Cons:

Wish OUR COMPANY would also include time off incentives, even small amounts, as did our previous award company several years back

AwardCo Is Awesome!

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Everything is great with Awardco. I also do like on the side where it keeps you updated with other employees' milestones. That makes it more personable with your coworkers and I know they appreciate other coworkers reaching out and congratulating them.

Pros:

The site is very user friendly. It also has great awards and variety of awards as well.

Cons:

It would be nice if there was a chart of some sort that tells you if you have X amount of points, you qualify for this, etc.

The best recognition program around

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: I really enjoy this product. It is easy to use. And it lets you decide who gets recognized.

Pros:

I love that I can recognize people that I think should be recognized. A lot of people don't get the recognition they deserve. This platform resolves that problem. It allows everyone to feel more valued.

Cons:

That it doesn't always have the products that I am look at on amazon. But even that isn't too big of a deal since you can get a digital amazon gift card if needed.

Cultivate work positivity and productivity all in one app

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: I believe it's a good app, it brings a little positivity to your work day when you get recognized for your work and it promotes a healthy work environment where we can build each other up as a team and sometimes get a little gift out of it

Pros:

It feels good to be recognized, not only by your superiors but by your peers as well, all recognitions go on a company feed for everyone to see and it also keeps track of all the recognitions you have given and have been awarded. It's a great tool that rewards you for your efforts which motivates you a little more at work

Cons:

I don't have many downsides for this app but if I had to dislike something it would be that not every recognition you get translates into reward points, even when coming from your manager

New to me, and I love it!

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: I think my company failed to introduce and educate me on Awardco, or I somehow totally missed it with onboarding. I suddenly started receiving recognitions, looked into it, stumbled upon the Awardco site/tool, and it seemed clear enough. I felt uncomfortable for a while about how exactly the points and ultimately $ were funded. I still don't know, but I've just been going with it. At some point, I finally became curious about how to redeem. It seemed intuitive enough, and almost "too good to be true" that 1 point = 1$. That's very generous of BPM! I didn't spend much time looking at the options to redeem, because the items in the catalog didn't catch my attention or interest me much. I was super happy to see that I could redeem into a credit card! So, I became an even bigger fan! I love the interaction with coworkers, feeling appreciated, validated, and the fun friendly element of it.

Pros:

Awardco's interface and feature suite is very nice. It's complex enough to be useful but not too cluttered etc. I really appreciate that email notifications are sent out to clue you in about being recognized or prompting you to recognize points before they expire.

Cons:

I really can't think of anything negative about Awardco, and I'm kind of a critical user who is frustrated by many apps, websites, interfaces etc. Awardco has been awesome.

Love Awardco!

5.0 12 months ago

Comments: I haven't experienced anything negative with Awardco. The products are nice, the shipping is fast, the shopping is easy. The only thing I've noticed is if you considered a point per dollar, sometimes the products cost a few more dollars than they would if you just ordered straight from the source.

Pros:

I love receiving my points through here, bc i save the points and feel like it's a savings account that i can use to spend on fun things i wouldn't normally buy. The shipping is really fast and it's super easy to order.

Cons:

Nothing really, but if i had to choose, it would be sometimes the products cost a few more dollars than normally buying off Amazon or the store.

Brings Your Company Together

4.0 5 months ago

Comments: Great experience using Awardco. Since using it, we have seen a grand increase in our employees recognition, which boosts overall positivity and mood in the workplace. Everyone enjoys commendation, and this software does just that. Great for team building and bringing a company together. Helps everyone get to know each other a little better too.

Pros:

Easy to use. The format is simple and easy to navigate. It can be learned right away with next to no training. Pretty self explanatory. Great customer service, variety of different vendors to use, and I also like the spot recognition feature that is included.

Cons:

Can't really think of anything that would deter anyone from using this software. It gets the job done and you get what you're paying for. Maybe just that the mobile app can only be used as a progressive web app and is limited.

Highly Recommend AwardCo for your Company

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: I would rate this a 10/10. AwardCo should be at every company.

Pros:

The ease of use for searching for a possible reward is wonderful. There's a lot of choices to get something from the employer or even other outlets that I love, such as Amazon. Its easy to use the points and it is really nice to see everyone's comments and recognition. The ability to provide feedback is amazing as well.

Cons:

I do not have a lot of cons about awardco. I do wish that there was a 'dark mode' option. The overall lightness of the page is very harsh on the eyes if you're taking time scrolling through things.

The best thing with Awardco is that it is like a one-stop shop for all employee recognition, and rewards.

Everything is amazing with Awardco and no complaints, so far.

Super easy app and cannot beat 'free money' for taking care of myself

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: I regularly tell coworkers this is a great system. And why would people not want to get free stuff for taking care of themselves and tracking their progress as they do it?

Pros:

The awards are terrific - dozens of choices to spend my award money on. And I really like the group activities where several people join together to earn points.

Cons:

Nothing bad about it. I love this app and how it works.

Excellent Product that empowers peers and managers to make a difference!

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: I love being able to quickly describe the excellent action/job someone performed. The fact everyone in the organization can see the praise is upbuilding to those who receive the recognition as well as to those who generate the recognition.

Pros:

I love the fact we can shout out to ANYONE at the organization. We have the option to make the shout-out private - but really, I've never used that. If someone has done an outstanding action - I want everyone to know!

Cons:

In the past we did not have the option to convert our points to a credit card. You all fixed that issue - now I love everything!

Bang for your Awardco

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: I like this program. You are able to redeem your points quickly. The selection of ecards is amazing. And there are other things you can purchase to form mixers, watches ect.

Pros:

The selection of ecards is amazing! A lot to choose from!

Cons:

That they charge a fee if you want a physical visa gift card and not a virtual one. It can take up to 3 weeks to get the card.

Awardco Review

5.0 12 months ago

Comments: So far, I have been using Awardco for about 4 years. It has been a good experience!

Pros:

Awardco gives you a chance to complete wellness activities and earn points that are redeemable for monetary gifts and awards. It also allows you to recognize peers for their outstanding performance and award them with a monetary award.

Cons:

Awardco seems to be very user friendly. The tracking is easy. I think that Awardco could allow more points to be gained from the "My Choice" activities for additional awards and incentives.

Ease of Use for Recognition

4.0 10 months ago

Comments: I like using Awardco to recognize my peers and employees. I login to Awardco at least 2-3 times per week to check my points, read the feed and recognize others.

Pros:

Awardco is easy to use for recognition. You just login and look for the person's name. You can then start typing to recognize your peer.

Cons:

It would be nice to have some sort of incentive when redeeming Awardco points. For example, 40 Awardco points for $50 AMZ egift.
