Pros

“It’s gives opportunity for group recognition and collaboration that makes it enjoyable for everyone.”

Megan P.

Specialist

“Kudoboard makes it easy for a group of people (like coworkers, friends, or family) to come together and contribute personalized messages, photos, GIFs, and videos in one place.”

Cortney M.

Care Coordinator

“Very positive experience overall, I love that every contributor can get a copy and look through the messages - a much more dynamic, modern, and remote-friendly way of sending cards.”

Danielle M.

Director, Regulatory Affairs

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.”

Sandra Q.

Compliance Practitioner

“Users generally view it as a significant upgrade over traditional "gold watch" programs, primarily because it shifts recognition from a stiff HR process to a vibrant, social-media-style feed.”

Arthi R.

Engineer

“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.”

Carmen R.

Receptionist

Cons

“For users wanting more artistic control or branding options, this can feel limiting.”

Cortney M.

Care Coordinator

“Since the start of the Covid pandemic , employee engagement has declined which resulted in me searching for better service to increase it.”

Rita B.

Ceo

“It can get pricey; the pricing model is based on the number of employees.”

Teddy D.

Director of Recuiting

Cons

“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.”

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.”

Akashdeep s.

“I don’t like that I have to end up converting my rewards on my laptop because with my iPhone it doesn’t work well with the site for some reason.”
