Each week, we'll share quick, actionable tips to you, as admins, master the platform and manage your programs more efficiently.
Tip Tuesday: When and How to Adjust Points or Correct Recognitions Mistakes happen. Maybe a recognition went to the wrong person, too many points were awarded, or a recognition needs to be replaced with a different amount. The best correction path depends on what went wrong. Important: Do not adjust recognition points from…
When admins ask what makes a recognition program actually stick, the answer is rarely a single launch tactic or reward choice. Across Awardco client stories, a clear pattern shows up: the strongest programs are built around purpose, visibility, and consistency over time. They are designed to reinforce the right behaviors,…
Do you allow managers to issue non-discretionary awards through Awardco? And, if so, how do you manage that for overtime calculation purposes? Currently, we allow managers to issue non-discretionary awards in Awardco. For example, our claims area will run a competition then issue awards for the employees who processed the…
Recognition is often treated like a culture nice-to-have. In reality, it is one of the most practical levers organizations can use to improve retention, attendance, and performance. Recognition is Bigger than Morale The strongest recognition strategies do more than create feel-good moments. They reinforce the behaviors…
I have a few scheduled reports, and when they are generated e.g. some daily, some weekly and some monthly, I get the email announcing it's available with a link to download the file. As I'm using AI and code to get file attachments directly from the emails they are attached to to automate some processes, I would love it if…
Why This Matters Admin knowledge should not live in one person’s memory or scattered across old notes. A simple, shared playbook helps your team answer common questions consistently, onboard new admins faster, and keep getting value from Awardco as your programs and platform evolve. Awardco’s admin guidance is organized…
Nomination programs are often designed around one final award recipient. But the nomination itself can be a meaningful recognition moment. When admins capture that value, nomination programs can strengthen culture, surface hidden contributions, and help more employees feel seen. Recognition Is More Than The Final Award…
A lot of admins read a white paper like The State of Recognition 2026 and think, “This is helpful…but what should I actually do in my Awardco platform because of it?” That is the right question. One of the biggest takeaways for me is that recognition is not just a nice extra. The research found that employees who feel…
Awardco Nominations™ launched today, and I’m excited to share it with the community. If you’ve ever managed a nomination-based recognition program through spreadsheets, forms, and email threads, you know how quickly it can become hard to track. Awardco Nominations brings the full process into Awardco so you can run…
Hello! We are utilizing our Awardco platform to run nomination surveys for company awards. Does anyone know if there is a way to automate reminders to participants to complete the survey from the platform? We've sent the initial email using an email template but cannot figure out to send a reminder. Thanks in advance!
I am organizing a step challenge and would like to use Awardco for staff to upload photos of their weekly step count and to encourage staff to recognize their peers for participating, reaching goals, etc. Has anyone used Awardco for this type of event or something similar? What has worked? Any suggestions would be…
One of the most common admin headaches is realizing a budget needs attention only after recognition starts slowing down. Maybe a manager cannot send an award, maybe balances are lower than expected, or maybe no one notices a problem until questions start rolling in. Staying ahead of budget upkeep helps recognition keep…
A lot of admins run into the same question here: should this be built as Awardco Nominations, a Simple Survey, or a standard Recognition Program? Getting that choice right matters because it affects how much manual cleanup you own later, how easy the experience feels for employees and leaders, and how likely the program is…
I think it would be helpful to be able to filter the display of funding and points summaries by time period (i.e. month, quarter, year, etc), instead of keeping a running total. I realize there are reports that can be pulled to provide this detail, but if I want a quick idea of what deposits we've made thus far this…
I just got accepted to attend the one in Chicago — wondering if it's worth it! What did you get out of it, did you source any new ideas, etc?
