Case Study: Utah Valley University boosts recognition and retention with Awardco

Utah Valley University boosts peer-to-peer recognition 47% with Awardco

Utah Valley University (UVU) faced the challenge of scaling its strong culture of appreciation across its large, multi-campus workforce. With over 50 distinct nomination and award programs running on scattered, manual systems, their recognition efforts were fragmented and lacked visibility. UVU partnered with Awardco to centralize these programs into a single, cohesive employee recognition platform.

Using Awardco's tools, including Nominations and My Circle email alerts, UVU created a one-stop shop for recognition, making it easy for employees to participate. The solution led to a 47% year-over-year increase in peer-to-peer recognitions and widespread adoption across all employee types. Most significantly, Awardco enabled internal data analysis that identified peer-to-peer recognition as the single most influential driver of employee retention at the university.
