The benefits of this platform have to do with the incredibly robust, beautiful and easy to use software, which in itself engages employees. If you buy in to that premise, then you'll love the platform and reap the rewards of a recognition-rich workplace.

Unlike some free options, the Achievers platform is robust, intuitive to use and ensures a bug-free and seamless user experience that makes recognition and engagement simple. Beyond that, the platform and its features are constantly evolving and improving, based on recognition and engagement best practices, to ensure it captivates its users' attention. Employees love to use the tool, managers get valuable insights and, from an HR perspective, you have all the reports and analytics you could ever want at your fingertips. Overall, there is a significant financial investment for the product but, when you consider the cost of disengaged employees and the benefits of an engaged workplace, the investment is worth it.

Given their recent partnership with a global rewards/gift card giant, they have better global reach but the shipping times are incredibly varied and sometimes high (2-5 weeks on average.) Additionally, with new changes to their workflow, it's rare to instantly receive even the online rewards, which can take 5-10 business days to be delivered. If you manage expectations with employees and consider that the primary benefits of the platform are the non-monetary incentives, then you'll be very happy with the tool. If you're looking for very quick shipping and reward fulfillment, this likely isn't the product for you.

The platform has been widely accepted by our employees and organization. It has allowed us to shed light on and target how recognition ties into employee engagement. It has allowed us to capitalize on the power of acknowledgement from senior leadership, peers, and teams. The platform has allowed us meaningfully recognize more consistently as an organization, and has become an integral part of our culture.

Our employees are supporters and advocates of this software. It is a great platform that allows our organization to recognize more consistently, with an awesome rewards catalog with something for everyone. The software is easy to use and the customer service we receive is unparalleled. Achievers continually supports us with professionalism and valuable knowledge as we aim to leverage the platform in new ways and improve our user experience.

It's difficult to think of what is least liked about this software. It would be great to have more control over our platform without having to leverage customer service (i.e., the ability to change the imaging, enable survey features, troubleshoot). However, our experiences with Customer Service have been successful and we have run into very few issues.

Easy way to enable recognition within the company, with clear communication and prizes.

The access is very difficult. You get session timeouts on the app frequently and have to go again and login, go thru the company security interface etc. EVERY SINGLE TIME. This disincentives adoption by the users.

Achievers provides peer and manager recognition, customizable rewards, data insights, value alignment, remote work support, privacy controls, and engagement analytics. Social sharing and performance integration enhance appreciation culture, fostering collaboration, loyalty, and productivity in organizations.

Achievers offer features that enhance workplace dynamics. They enable peer-to-peer and manager-to-peer recognition, motivating employees and reinforcing team cohesion. Insights derived from recognition data can guide decisions, and customizable rewards cater to individual preferences. Especially in remote or hybrid work setups, these platforms sustain a sense of belonging. In essence, Achievers foster a culture of appreciation, driving collaboration, loyalty, and productivity.

Relying heavily on rewards can make recognition seem transactional. The rate of rewards doesn't match our currency, i.e around 1200+ points make a Rs.1000Managers receiving more recognition can cause perceived favoritism. Privacy concerns might arise from public sharing.

I love that we are able to recognize our employees globally. While we may not be in the same office together, we certainly work on the same items and achieve the same goals together.

I love how easy this platform is to use! We have a very diverse employee population and the way the program is designed (similar to many other popular social media apps) make this a very easy program to roll out and get everyone to use it.

I would love to see more detailed analytic reporting be available.

Customer service and Ease of use is the best thing about the software. You can recognize from a mobile device on the go, and the app is as use friendly as the desktop.

Not all functionality is at your fingertips. You have to work towards learning how to maximize all the features available to you as a user.

It is great! I would highly recommend it. Whenever I call customer service they are always so very helpful!

I love the concept of this program. I love the platform to share recognition. It has lots of great features for pulling reports.

It isn't really a con but I feel the program offers a lot more than I understand. I find myself wanting to do things with this platform that I am not sure how to do. I know there are tutorials to learn but it takes time to go through them all.

I think the Achievers platform is very fun. Its mainly used as a recognition platform where employees are given points to recognize their colleagues for contributing to the success of a team, project, or the company as a whole. From there you can earn points from being recognized and have the opportunity to cash in points for merchandise, travel, gift cards, etc. Really love the idea of this platform and hope that employees participate and use it.

Nothing! Maybe it would be nice to see the interface updated a bit, its fairly modern but would be nice if refreshed.

The software is user friendly and very intuitive. It is very simple to find what you are searching for

I didn't catch any cons on this platform ;)

It seems there is a wide verity of items to select from all with decent quality. You can also select from a large range of gift cards.

While it is nice to be recognized, it seems a bit juvenile to be awarded "points." In previous companies I was awarded with meals and actual cash. Here I am getting points, and as the title said, "Everything is made up and the points don't matter."

Much more engaged employees and a culture of appreciation.

The tool is quite flexible and good at doing what is supposed to do - recognition and rewards! It's well supported and has been adopted well by our team.

There are a few areas that aren't flexible but they were deal breakers. Sometimes employees recognize people for doing things that aren't exceptional.

As an employee it makes me feel more recognized and appreciated. It's nice to just be recognized but also receiving the points to spend on gift cards is a really great option.

I think they send too many notification emails. Sometimes I wish there were more options for gift cards as well.

Overall, I'm very pleased. It allows me to do what I need to do.

It allows me to communicate with the support staff at Achievers.

The navigation can be a little clunky at times.
