We're a startup and we've been using Applauz for a few weeks right now. Overall, it's great. Setup was straightforward, there's a bunch of tools and new features have been added since I first installed it. Love it!

Applauz is a Nitro Boost to Employee Engagement

Pros:

It's been a lightning bolt to our employee engagement program. We have created games, contests, and incentives using Applauz. We have pulse surveys, which provide valuable feedback on how our organization is doing. And it's become a social media platform where we can gather virtually to recognize each other for our accomplishments. I would recommend it to anyone.

Cons:

Some of the technology is clunky at times. But all you have to do is let the support team know and they always have a solution in a short amount of time.

Reasons for choosing Applauz Recognition

I just put Mailchimp because I didn't see an option for "I don't remember." The price was about the same but Applauz provided more features.

Pros:

I really appreciate Applauz Recognition for its focus on building a positive workplace culture through tailored employee recognition. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy for organizations to enhance morale and engagement.

Cons:

One downside of Applauz Recognition is its limited integration with other HR tools, which could enhance user experience. Some users also feel the reporting features could be more robust for tracking recognition trends.

Great platform for peer recognition and employee engagement

My experience with Applauz has been amazing. I have been able to obtain some great merch from our company, got some gift cards that purchased a brand-new Ninja for my kitchen, had some beautiful things said about me, and shared many kind words about my peers. Overall this is a great platform for peer recognition.

Pros:

I love that we can but internal company merch but also have the opportunity to buy other items in the Applauz store such as gift cards and even trips! The buy points feature is awesome if we need to top off our purchases too. The options are really endless with what we can do and im so happy our company chose to partner with Applauz!

Cons:

i kinda wish i didnt get daily emails for reminding me to recognize someone at 7pm and then again at 8am of who was recognized. Essentially 2x a day is quite a bit.
