Awardco is already a highly successful and rapidly growing company in the employee experience (EX) space. Earlier this year, we launched Awardco Engage, an exciting new solution that brings our user-focused product approach into the employee listening market. Engage represents a major investment in expanding Awardco’s impact on workplace culture and is uniquely positioned to challenge legacy solutions in the industry.
