Peer Recognition...on Autopilot

Great!

PROS

Can't say enough good things about Bonus.ly. Their awesome integrations are top notch (Single Sign-On with Office 365/Azure AD, Syncs with our HR system Zenefits, Bots for MS Teams/Slack). Also, when we've had hiccups, the Support team has always been extremely responsive. We spend hundreds of dollars on SaaS apps per user. Adding $25 to allow employees to reward each others hard work and dedication with a coffee or beer (or Amazon gift card)...is no brainer. Supporting and securing modern cloud mesh applications is stressful work for our hard working engineers and support team members. Bonus.ly provides some additional ways to reward inter and intra team comradery. Lastly, the integration with our culture and values by requiring each bonus be hashtagged with one or more company values gives us great analytics to our top performers and alignment. It's tangible data that highlights the team members accomplishments through the year. helping at performance reviews. PS - Did I mention it pretty much runs itself (users auto created/deleted based on HR status + Single Sign-On for Office 365 or Google means no extra passwords to remember)?

CONS

That we didn't implement it sooner at our organization.

Bonusly helps drive engagement and collaboration

I really love Bonusly, it is easy and fun to use. Highly recommend.

PROS

We had TV screens around the office that displayed our Bonusly feeds. We also made this part of our culture. I would say that bonusly helps teams work together and makes it easy to recognize one another.

CONS

I think the recommendations of what kind of bonus to give could have been improved upon. I think it would also be interesting if you could take away bonusly $ from one another.

The best tool to appreciate your colleagues

It's a great tool to appreciate your colleagues for their performance and help you in your day-to-day activity. You can reward them with custom hashtags and even claim different gift cards from the reward points that you have.It simply took the employee's appreciation and reward program to the next level.

PROS

- Great reward catalog- Variety of tags to choose from while rewarding colleagues- Easy-to-use UI- Great way to share appreciation- Reward redemption is easy- Customs hashtags options

CONS

- It's a bit costly as you have to pay per-user price. Apart from that there is nothing that i don't like about it as it is a great application to reward your colleagues for their help and performance.

Bonusly provides an easy way to recognize your co-workers

Easy to use, positive experience overall from the user perspective

PROS

We have Bonusly integrated with slack which makes it very easy to use and see who is being recognized. Our HR leader has also tied this into our core value awards which makes it even more relevant.

CONS

Overall, it really is easy to use to recognize peers. The ability to pool bonusly awards and then distribute hose across a group of people easily would be a great feature to allow for teams to recognize other individuals and teams. Also, when giving award points to multiple people, that counts as one recognition event when it should count as multiple - multiple people recognized.

Awesome tool for peer recognition!

Bonusly is easy to use and has helped to improve employee engagement and morale. The social and collaborative features of Bonusly have been particularly well-received, with many users reporting that the public recognition feature has helped to build a more positive and supportive work environment.In terms of the software itself, Bonusly appears to be very user-friendly and customizable. The ability to create custom reward categories and integrate with other software tools is a major plus for organizations looking for a tailored solution. While there are some potential drawbacks to consider, such as the cost and limited reporting features, these limitations are relatively minor compared to the overall benefits of the software.Overall, my impression of Bonusly is very positive, and I would definitely recommend it to organizations looking for an easy and effective way to improve employee recognition and engagement.

PROS

Simple and Easy to Use: Bonusly has a very user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to use for everyone. It doesn't require any technical skills or knowledge, which means that employees can start using it right away without any training.Customizable: One of the best things about Bonusly is that it is highly customizable. Organizations can create their own reward categories, set point values, and even integrate the software with other tools for seamless use. This means that Bonusly can be tailored to meet the specific needs of any organization.Social and Collaborative: Bonusly encourages teamwork and collaboration, making it an excellent way to build team morale and strengthen working relationships. The public recognition feature allows everyone in the organization to see who is doing great work and who deserves to be recognized.Positive Impact: Bonusly has a positive impact on employee engagement, morale, and recognition.

This data can be used to identify areas of improvement and to develop strategies for increasing employee engagement.Overall, I think Bonusly is an excellent software solution for organizations that want to improve employee engagement and recognition. Its ease of use, customizab

CONS

While I think Bonusly is a great software solution, there are a few areas that could be improved. Here are some potential cons to consider:Cost: The cost of Bonusly can be a drawback for some organizations, especially smaller ones with limited budgets. However, the pricing is competitive compared to similar software solutions on the market.Limited Reward Options: Bonusly offers a limited number of reward options, which may not be ideal for all organizations. While it's possible to customize the reward categories, the available options are still relatively limited.Reliance on User Adoption: Bonusly's effectiveness relies heavily on employee participation and adoption. If employees are not actively using the software to recognize their colleagues, the program may not have the desired impact.Limited Integration Options: While Bonusly integrates with some popular software tools, the options are relatively limited. This may be a drawback for organizations that rely on other tools for HR or employee engagement.Limited Reporting Features: While Bonusly provides real-time analytics, the reporting features are relatively limited. Organizations may need to export the data to another tool to perform more in-depth analysis or track longer-term trends.Overall, while there are a few potential drawbacks to Bonusly, these limitations are relatively minor and are outweighed by the benefits of the software.

Undoubtedly the best platform to Appreciate and Support Your Employees

My overall experience with Bonusly has been Fantastic! From giving my friends bonus, to receiving them and buying my favorite vouchers bonusly has taken employee recognition to the next level. It's a different feeling when you get appreciated between your whole company and see yourself topping the leaderboards. Would recommend to anyone interested in trying out the platform. You won't be disappointed.

PROS

Everyone knows how hard it is to sit all day and work at an office. In days like this, when you get a compliment or feedback from your co-workers or bosses your day gets 10x better. That's where Bonusly comes into play. Bonusly is a platform where you can appreciate and compliment your employees for all the work they do. When you have successfully signed up with the platform, you'll get access to a news feed like space where you can see everyone from your company giving out bonuses to each other that can be further redeemed for gift vouchers and a lot of stuff. The user interface is very simple and people with no technical knowledge can also get started very easily. You also get a Analytics Dashboard, along with multiple award options that make it fun to use the platform. In my experience, I am absolutely in love with this platform and I never had an issue while redeeming vouchers or giving out awards. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a good platform to support their employees!

CONS

There's nothing that I hate about Bonusly but an area where they could work is Customer Support. No one likes to wait for hours to get a reply right? It'll be better if they start offering 24 x 7 live chat option that allows people to get quick resolution for their queries.

A Great Program for Rewards and Peer Recognition

It helps in appearing bonuses to public feed so that everyone will be able to view important activities and work. It helps in making recognition engaging and easy which will help every member of a team to make their activities and work are valuable. It helps in bringing every employee together by incorporating recognition with workflows that are already existed. It helps to engage everyone across departments, locations and teams with social recognition. It helps people in showing the impact of their activities and work.

PROS

It is an employee recognition program which helps teams to stay connected. It helps employees in recognizing each other easily no matter how they are working. It helps in promoting your missions and making recognition more impressive and impactful by linking it with the core values of your company. It helps in providing visibility to the contribution of everyone. Employees will be able to get a monthly allowance through it for recognition of their contribution.

CONS

It should provide more features so that we will be able to work with advanced programs of rewards. It should provide integration with other platforms for making monitoring and reporting function better. The dashboard of its rewards should be improvised.

I love bonusly!

Overall i find bonusly to be a great reward system and love the items to select from.

PROS

I like the selection of gift cards/options to spend your bonusly on. I like how easy it is to award bonsly to someone.

CONS

I used my bonusly once to purchase a sephora gift certificate which came via email. The code would not work on the site. I then went to the actual store and the cashier still could not get it to work. Finally the manager was able to somehow help her. It shouldn't be that hard. And im not sure who to even contact if something goes wrong with what you've chosen. It was kind of stressful. That being said, I've been using bonusly for awhile and this is the first time it happened.

Modern day approach to incentive – presents a concrete value exchange for work/effort in real-time

Basically just a reiteration of my "pros" section of this survey – however, to add: Everyone loves to feel appreciated, and in the workplace that can sometimes be hard to capture on a regular basis. Bonusly helps to promote synergy amongst your immediate team as well as cross-functionally and across departments. I think it's a very smart investment for any company's culture.

PROS

Overall, I really love the general idea of the software itself. Studies have shown that incentive for work tends to heavily rely on intrinsic motivation (self satisfaction) rather than extrinsic (raises, bonuses, gifts, etc.) - but bonusly seems to have found a way to blur the two together and deliver the benefits in one platform. I feel like a lot of time people lose motivation at their job because they think they're under appreciated or that their hard work goes unnoticed – so this is a great way to recognize your coworkers and also to promote positivity in the workplace.

CONS

Don't have any complaints really – if I had to choose anything...maybe it would be gifs - I prefer giphy over tenor, maybe the gifs could pull from both sites? What about an integration with BitMoji? Might be something people would enjoy

Best Rewarding Application

I would recommend using bonusly as it is a great application for giving rewards to the individuals and boosting their confidence.

PROS

Bonusly should be a must used platform in every organization due to following reason: 1.)Rewards are provided to the employee if the employee completes its task, it's a great thing to give reward as it keeps the employee motivated. 2.)The organization can also put incentives based on quarterly, half or yearly performance of the individual. 3.)Peers can send rewards to each other on working together with a particular task, this helps in a team bonding and strengthing relationships among peers.

CONS

There is no as such con in the Bonsuly as they are constantly updating their app and website. But it is just a suggestion if they can remove leaderboard from their application as it gives a sense of competitiveness which is sometimes not healthy for an organization.

CONS

Software wise, its a good product. But not a good alternative for a proper bonus structure or employee incentives. People tend to expect points, just to do their daily work routine or job responsibilities Employees feel like, they need to impress others to get points and introverts never receive any points. Popular employees tend to get more points compared to a employee who does work in his own (ex. A Product owner who give demos tend to get more points from others than a developer who works ina team) Tend to make team members launder points to get rewards.

Our non-profit staff of 13 loves using Bonusly! It's been a wonderful way to boost morale!

Using Bonusly has boosted morale for our staff members who feel highlighted and recognized in a prompt and positive way every time the leadership or colleagues list a specific shout-out and tie it to a financial reward. It's been a very fun and positive activity for our staff to participate in - some staff use Bonusly throughout the month, but most make sure they give out rewards before their balance runs out at the end of the month. It's both fun to send the shout-outs and, of course, to receive them. Sometimes our work environment gets exhausting and this is a great way to infuse new energy.

PROS

Our team loves the opportunity to promptly reward positive behavior and helpful acts of service with something tangible like a Bonusly reward. We had been doing shout-outs already, but to actually pair a shout-out with a financial reward that you can save up has been received very well. Most of our staff make sure they use up their allotment by the end of the month. I like that it's easy to reward individuals and teams and let everyone know what I see them or their peers doing really well.

CONS

We didn't like the leaderboard very much as our team works so closely together that it felt counter-productive to introduce this competitive aspect. It made the people at the bottom feel bad and the people at the top felt kind of embarrassed/like they didn't deserve the extra recognition more than many others. We asked the team to remove it and they asked us if we were sure - and then made the changes for us, which everyone appreciated. Not importantly at all, the emoticons are difficult to add using a laptop.

Thank you for your feedback, Anja! It's wonderful to hear that Bonusly has boosted morale at Spring Initiative, and helped encourage recognition of everyone's hard work. I'm sorry to hear that the leaderboards were making your team uncomfortable, but I'm glad to hear that we were able to make the changes necessary to fix that!

Mostly good, a few spots that are rough.

PROS

We wanted a way for employees to recognize the great work that their peers are doing without management always having to be involved. By giving everyone some 'money' to do that, it helps make sure that people feel appreciated and that they have a way to say thank you.

CONS

There are a few of the new features that I think should be included in the base software - especially for those of us who signed up early when there wasn't 2 tiers of product. I'm also really unhappy with the fact that they add rewards whenever they feel like and automatically turn them on instead of letting me control that. There are some causes like Planned Parenthood which can be controversial and I would like the opportunity to review rewards before they are published into our catalog.
