The problem — From in-person to virtual recognition

Mapbox struggled to maintain its collaborative culture when COVID shifted it to a remote, global workforce. There was no single platform everyone used, making universal engagement hard. They needed a scalable, flexible system that worked across time zones and cultures and could grow as their programming evolved.

The solution — Flexible, global rewards that scale

Mapbox adopted PerkUp for spot rewards, on-demand swag, and global gifting — giving employees the power of choice. They built custom programs like the quarterly Mapbox Awards, inspired by the company's core services and values, and used print-on-demand swag to remove storage and distribution headaches across locations.

The result — Higher engagement, leaner operations

Engagement and operational efficiency both improved. On-demand swag was especially popular — employees got items they truly valued, saving storage and shipping costs. Departments across Mapbox credit PerkUp with strengthening remote recognition culture as a long-term solution that scales while staying easy to use.

“It's hard to recognize and reward people virtually. The challenge was defining how employee engagement could look like in the new era with a remote global team.”Holly Nicola · Mapbox

“Having the ability to print on-demand and ship internationally to anyone in our company is a pretty cool feature that I don't think ever existed until now.”Holly Nicola · Mapbox

“Its ability to scale while being easy to use for both the end user and the administrator is the really great thing about PerkUp.”Holly Nicola · Mapbox
