Case Study: CPS Group modernizes employee recognition with Awardco

Modernizing recognition for more frequency, consistency, and personalization

CPS Group, a North American enterprise manufacturing and design company, needed a more consistent and meaningful employee recognition program. Their previous approach only recognized employees every five years, sometimes missed milestones, and relied on limited rewards like plaques and trophies, leaving many employees feeling overlooked.

With Awardco, CPS Group automated service anniversaries, birthdays, and special occasions, expanded recognition to leader-to-employee and peer-to-peer programs, and gave employees more personalized reward options. Using Awardco’s Service Awards, Special Occasions, Birthdays & Holidays, Employee Journey Automation, and Peer-to-Peer Recognition tools, CPS Group saw a nearly 20% increase in employees feeling cared for by management, along with stronger connections across locations and higher engagement overall.
