Allocation against actual spend, per manager, with days remaining, on a schedule so the nudge arrives with three weeks left. Plus the departments that received nothing this quarter.
Three enthusiastic managers give out most of the awards, several give none, and the quarterly budget expires two thirds unspent. The programme reports as a success because the people using it like it a lot.
A companion reads recognitions, users, budgets and redemptions, and comes back with two short lists: who received nothing, and who gave nothing.
01
Who is invisible in the recognition data?
A companion reads recognitions by giver, receiver and period, and reports the departments that received nothing in a quarter alongside the managers who gave nothing. Both lists are short and both are useful.
It is a measure of a habit, not of contribution. Some teams are quiet and some managers are new.
02
What happens to the unspent budget?
It vanishes at period end and everyone is mildly annoyed.
Allocation against actual spend, per manager, with days remaining, is a two-minute question that nobody asks until the last week.
A routine produces it on a schedule so the nudge arrives with three weeks left. The nudge is drafted per manager and you send it.
03
Recognition data next to your people data
Recognition per team compared with headcount, or with tenure, turns a raw count into something you can act on. A companion holds the Awardco reading next to whatever HR system you have connected or are signed into.
A team with no recognitions might be quiet, newly formed, or led by somebody who finds the programme faintly embarrassing, and those three need different responses.
So a companion reports counts, gaps and budget burn. Turning that into a conversation with a manager is the work you keep.
Yes, through a connected Awardco account. A companion reads recognitions by giver, receiver and period and reports which teams received nothing and which managers gave nothing.

Yes. Connect the account and a companion reads recognitions, users, budgets and redemptions, and reports which departments received nothing this quarter and which managers gave nothing. The actions available follow the Awardco public API.
A companion reports who received nothing and who gave nothing, and drafts the reminders per manager. Giving the recognition stays with a person, which is what makes it mean anything.
Recognition counts measure how strong a habit is inside a team. Use them to fix the habit, and read performance from the systems built to measure it.
