About Quick Quack Car Wash

The Challenge

How do you keep employees happy and excited in a challenging service industry?

Quick Quack Car Wash has expanded from 17 locations to over 180 in the past few years, and they’ve made great efforts to expand in a sustainable way. However, working in a challenging service industry isn’t easy, especially during a pandemic, cancel culture, the Great Resignation, and economic turmoil. They wanted to enhance their culture to make work more enjoyable for all.

“Awardco has made employees' lives easier. Working outside in the elements with the customers can be tough, but being recognized, seen, heard, and valued makes it easier.”

The Solution

Better Employee Experience = 20% Lower Turnover

While some turnover is normal, particularly in the service industry, Quick Quack aimed to establish a business culture that employees appreciate. Leadership understood that by focusing on enhancing the employee experience, including the introduction of recognition programs with Awardco, they could create a workplace where employees love to be.

With various employee reward programs designed for retention, including a six-month retention reward, generous service anniversaries, and annual MemoryBooks, employees are more eager to stay than ever—and turnover has decreased by 20%.

The Solution

Get Everyone Involved—Including Leadership

With nearly two hundred locations in an unpredictable, energetic industry, employees and teams regularly help out at other locations. And Quick Quack’s admins have seen people recognize and reward employees from different teams and locations, building a culture of unity and collaboration.

But it’s not just employees that are getting involved. Leadership is excited to see the spread of recognition, and they’ve fully bought-in on the ROI of Awardco. A culture of recognition from the top down? That’s almost as good as a freshly cleaned car.

Awardco is such a perfect fit for changing lives for the better.
