Three-Time Winner

For the third consecutive year, Awardco has been recognized by Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest-growing HR software and employee recognition companies in the U.S. At No. 310, Awardco sits in the top 6% of this year’s list of 5000 growth companies. Less than 10% of organizations have ever made the Inc. 5000 list three times. 

In its 41st year, Inc. 5000 celebrates companies that show remarkable business growth in the United States. Past inductees include Microsoft, Dell, Zillow, Intuit, and Yelp.

“Awardco has been recognized by Inc. 5000 for a reason: our message about taking care of employees is one that resonates in these unique times. The dissatisfaction with the status quo, large markups, and poor employee experience simply doesn’t cut it anymore. What we offer is simple, powerful, and flexible, and our integration with Amazon Business offers a capability other platforms lack. We are as proud as ever to see Awardco making a lasting change in the way companies recognize, inspire, and support their employees. We know that these changes make organizations stronger and better able to compete now and in the future, come what may.” – Steve Sonnenberg, Awardco founder and CEO
