Pros

“During Covid we all had to work from home, and Employee Connect was a great tool to use to be able to send online to everyone policy sign offs, workplace health and safety procedures and other forms necessary to keep the company compliant with legislative changes.”
LB

Libby B.

HR Manager

“The EmployeeConnect software has significantly enhanced our employee lifecycle programs, resulting in heightened process efficiency through workflow automation and a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to use and navigate.”
WB

Wendy B.

Head of People

“There are some limitations in the integration with Xero and the processing of leave requests and balances.”

Pros

“I like that awardco allows me to use the points to buy anything in amazon and i can also purchase gift cards as well.”
SQ

Sandra Q.

Compliance Practitioner

“I have used my card many times, the first purchase was declined and I had to call the company to find out that I needed to request a code and then log in with the special code for the first time use, even though I completed the card received process. since that first time, I have NOT had any issues even when in other states.”
CR

Carmen R.

Receptionist

“It allows you to spend the money you earn for gift cards to places you want to go rather than being forced to have just one type of card if you don't shop at that place.”

Cons

“The platform's internal feed can get cluttered, and setting up complex, multi-tiered approval workflows takes some time.”

Sadaf Y.

HOD

“One thing I dislike about Awardco is that not everyone uses the platform consistently, which can sometimes limit its impact. When participation varies, some employees may receive less recognition even though they are contributing just as much, making the experience feel uneven at times.”
RT

Rachel T.

Business Development Manager

“One downside of Awardco is that while the platform is generally user-friendly, some of the advanced features and reporting tools can take time to fully understand.”
