A Fresh New Look: Navigation 2.0
You'll notice right away that Awardco 2.0 has a brand-new look and feel! We've redesigned the interface to be modern, accessible, and natural to use.
Streamlined Navigation: We've arranged the menus to make it easier than ever to find what you need. Your notifications, surveys, recognition feed, and profile are now just a click away.
Custom Branding: Your platform now seamlessly integrates with your company's branding, incorporating your specific logo and color schemes for a cohesive experience.
Starting Your Work: Depending on your organization's setup, you will see prominent starting points for your most common tasks—whether that is a "Recognize" button or an "Engagement" tab for surveys.
Stay in the Loop: Notifications 2.0
Never miss an important update—like a new recognition or a survey invitation—with our revamped notification system!
Centralized Notifications: All your alerts are now housed in a single, robust system within the platform.
Multi-Channel Delivery: Choose how you want to be reached. You can receive alerts via email, SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or in-platform notifications.
Personalized Settings: You have control. You can personalize your preferences for each channel, ensuring you get the alerts that matter most to you, where you want them.
Connect and Share: User Profiles
Awardco 2.0 introduces User Profiles, designed to facilitate meaningful connections across your organization.
Personal Pages: Each user has a publicly viewable page. You can share "About Me" details, contact info, and your recognition history.
Recognition Preferences: You can specify if you prefer public or private recognition. The platform will automatically respect these preferences when a colleague recognizes you.
Org Connections: A dedicated view allows you to see your most important connections and teammates within the organization.
Note: The view of User Profiles might not directly reflect what you see in your user profile. It’s possible your organization may have different questions in the “About Me” section, or may or may not use achievement badging.
Expanded Capabilities: Recognition & Engagement
Awardco 2.0 makes interacting with your team smoother and more impactful.
For Recognition Users:
Improved Recognition Flow: The entire process is now contained within a convenient pop-up window, accessible from any page.
AI Recognition Assistant: If enabled, our intelligent assistant can help you find the perfect words to celebrate your colleagues.
Rich Text & Emojis: Add emphasis and personality to your recognitions with bold, italics, and emojis.
Recognition CCs: Notify key stakeholders (like a colleague's manager) when you submit a recognition to keep them in the loop.
For Engage Users:
Seamless Survey Access: Your surveys are now more accessible and optimized for any device. Whether you are on a desktop or using the mobile app, providing feedback is fast and easy.
Real-Time Participation: The new interface makes it easier to track which surveys need your attention, ensuring your voice is heard in company-wide pulses.
