Boosting Morale With Recognition

Necco knew they wanted a recognition programme to reward all of their employees, especially direct service workers. Their employees have a passion for working with kids and families, and Necco knew that that passion can be supported and ignited with recognition.

With Awardco, Necco has been able to create a variety of different recognition programmes that show how much they appreciate their employees. These programmes include:

• Service awards to provide shoutouts and rewards regularly
• Birthdays to ensure everyone is celebrated
• End-of-year-awards with personalised notes of gratitude
• Top performer rewards to drive behaviour
• Life events programme to support employees’ personal lives
• Referral programme to spread the good word

With so much recognition, Necco has doubled down on a culture where employees feel seen and valued, which has led to improved morale and burnout levels.

Employee recognition isn’t something that only Necco’s HR team is interested in. Because of how straightforward, simple, and effective Awardco is, particularly with budgeting, reporting and automation, everyone from executives and managers to direct service employees are involved.

Managers and leaders love being able to give out points and reward effort, and they see the value of how regular recognition improves the lives of employees. Now, even though the work is challenging, Necco has flipped the script and improved their employees’ experience.
