Case Study: The Nest Schools boosts engagement and lowers turnover with Awardco

By implementing a value-based recognition strategy, The Nest Schools sees lower turnover and higher engagement

The Nest Schools, a mid-size education provider serving child care, preschool, and daycare communities, needed a faster, simpler way to support a growing recognition program across multiple locations. They wanted better support, easier fulfillment, and clearer reporting to help educators feel valued and keep engagement high.

By switching to Awardco and using tools for automation, reporting, value-driven recognition, and spot recognition, The Nest Schools streamlined administration and expanded appreciation to more employees. Awardco helped save 6–8 hours of admin time each week, simplified reporting, and supported a recognition culture that increased engagement and was associated with lower turnover at locations where recognition was used most.
