I routinely check Nectar, and am always happy to see anyone get recognized for their hard work and dedication. Getting recognized myself is very rewarding. I think especially in times of increased remote work, it's a great tool to have available for when you want to thank others for their efforts.

I find that Nectar encourages us all to routinely consider our coworkers and their contributions. It prompts users to think about how they've been helped by others, and allows us to grant tangible rewards to those who display good attitude, workmanship, etc.

I don't dislike anything about it--I think it's a very welcome addition to the tools we have at Avian for interacting with our coworkers.

I have found my department and team to be in better spirits and more enthusiastic to volunteer and exceed expectations than in the past. I have had a good experience overall with Nectar. I know my coworkers and I are eager to work hard and do their best to get recognition over Nectar. I am excited to continue to use this to see a more long term affects like good work habits built over time or a higher volume of volunteers for difficult or more experienced tasks.

I found integrating this product into our department and business a very easy transition - my department understood and loving giving and receiving points immediately. I thought that the motivation and morale boost it brought with was very beneficial to keep up a high standard of work and collaboration. I found it very helpful to know why my coworkers were giving away points and the hashtag feature allows for that very easily. It is a fun way to better unify across departments. In the past - there was no simple way to thank others in different departments across our several office locations in the US. Now we can say thank you with the click of a button.

Although I have only used it for a few months, I haven't found anything inherently negative about this software or its use. One thing I don't like about the software is the limited amount of points I and my coworkers are allowed to give. I know it is probably just a difference in cost to up the amount of points employees are given each month but I always find my coworkers saying they wish they had more or they have given away all their points before the end of the month. I also found that when I am trying to find a shoutout on my feed (to say thank you or like it) and I click on the post in the notifications section - it does not appear. It takes me to the general feed and I don't find it a good use of time to scroll through hundreds of posts to find the one I was looking for. A more direct route for that would be helpful so I can convey appreciation for others being kind.

Not much to describe. As I said, I use it to recognize folks who help me out. After my monthly allotment pts to give runs out, I'm done until the next month.

Gives me a way to provide 'tangible' recognition for those folks who go above and beyond.

I don't use it that often (only to dole out my monthly pts allowance), so I have to try to figure out how to 'recognize' someone each time because I don't find the interface intuitively obvious. Could just be me, but if I see 'someone' in a block that I think I should enter data before hitting give, that confuses me. Would rather see something like 'Type in the name of the person to be recognized here.' This is my KISS approach.

Nectar has been wonderful and I am excited to use this on a daily basis. Sometimes a "thank you" just isn't enough and this is a way to award points for employees to use to purchase gift cards and who doesn't like a gift card? It makes everyone feel more appreciated and more valued at their jobs and it also makes the employees want to work hard to achieve these points. The best thing is it's so simple and doesn't take time out of an already busy day to do.

This software has been wonderful. I have been with this company for 15 years and this is the BEST award program we have ever had. It's such an easy way to recognize co workers who have gone above and beyond their normal job. It's so simple and takes literally a few minutes to award points to a fellow team member. Our old system was more cumbersome and many people wouldn't bother taking the time. Immediately I noticed people who didn't use the old system are using this one.

The only thing I don't like is that each person needs to sign up individually and I notice that some co workers don't want to take that tiny effort to do so. I want to award points to a few individuals but if they haven't signed up I can't do that. Not really a problem with software exactly but it's the only thing I don't like.

Nectar HR encourages and provides us with an easy way to recognize our various team members for their accomplishments, whether it be something big - like finishing a project ahead of schedule - or small - like reviewing a PowerPoint before a presentation. We use Nectar constantly, and being able to see all of the recognition and shout outs that our team members get - especially across disparate departments - gives us all more visibility into the good that is being done constantly, and, more than anything else we've implemented, is helping to build and foster a positive culture of familiarity and friendliness throughout the company

This is pretty trivial, but I can't use more than one '+' in a single statement.

I've been pleasantly surprised of how easy Nectar has been. In the past I'd have to go through a lengthy process to get budget approved and funds released, just to go buy something tangible to have on hand to give out to the team. Nectar has allowed me to simplify that process and assign the reward to my rep and then they can go apply those rewards to a plethora of options.

Nectar makes it easy to incentivize your team while giving them plenty of options to choose from.

To date, I haven't had any issues with the product or Nectar team.

Overall the product provides a good lift in company culture in the correct direction where people are being recognized for doing things that might not be apart of their job description and it prevents having to chat with management about expensing a gift or something of that nature. I would recommend anyone looking to improve company culture and bring more awareness to those that might be wearing more than one hat.

I've been using Nectar for about a month and it makes it super easy to give a little something to my colleagues and others that I work with. It's super fun to see who is getting recognized for their efforts that might be outside their normal job function.

There are a few things that make it a little hard to use. There's not an easy way to find a specific person and see how they are doing. You will have to scroll through the page to find someone that has given them points in the past to track and see how they are doing. It's a pretty simple interface so there's not a lot to interact with.

Great to be able to spur of the moment call out a teammate and see those posts throughout the company

24/7 access for all, easy to use, enables spot recognition or a shout out for any unspecified act which provokes thoughtfulness and creativity with the recognition - being able to turn that earned recognition into something tangible (rewards, etc.) incentivizes use

Getting used to something new is always a challenge but this is very intuitive/user friendly

I remember years ago a company tried to use this kind of recognition software. Software doesn't compensate for culture. And I think Nectar got that. Their software compliments a company's culture, not create it.

Even though I think its better than before, I haven't been the highest adoptor of it. If there were tutorials, I didn't know about it, so making that more salient. Then again that may have been my company's responsibility.

Nectar has been great. I am excited to see how this software continues to to transform our organization.

Since COVID-19 has forced our staff to go remote, we've been looking for a solution to keep our team connected and Nectar has risen to the job marvelously. I especially appreciate the full transparency of being able to see other team members being recognized as well!

There have been some weird errors from time to time.

Overall, it's been a good experience and we are happy with it. We believe there is a bit of room for improvement in the UI of the software.

I love how it allows you to recognize your team members easily and aware decent rewards to them.

It can be hard to navigate and to find what you are looking for or need.

Our company has been using it to allow employees to give kudos to recognize efforts within the company. Each employee gets an allotment of points to give away. Managers get a bigger allotment. Those points expire at the end of the month, so we're encouraged to look for peers putting in effort and to recognize that effort.

I love the social recognition feature of the app. I feel like it has boosted morale and our team spirit as there has been inter- and intra-team recognition for efforts within the company.

The biggest con for me currently is the lack of a mobile app. The website isn't very mobile friendly as of yet.

Given that I was originally charged with coming up with an Employee Recognition Platform for our company, I feel I have a real understanding of the competition out there. Hands down this is the easiest platform and greatest value! The team is very responsive to questions.

I love how easy and intuitive the program is.

Not all employees have signed up yet. I know you give an incentive to sign-up, but apparently at our company more is needed. With that said, it has only been introduced to the company as a whole one time. Maybe additional communication with employees? Just a thought....

The overall experience with this product is great, as it helps solve the issue of establishing teamwork and appreciation for fellow staff in an easy to monitor fashion.

I like that there is a system of points that you can give and receive from others. It incentivizes participation and teamwork, especially since there is a material reward involved with the inclusion of a way to spend earned

The bright color palette is a bit hard to look at with higher contrast monitors.

Nectar is a great way to recognize people publicly and is a sustainable option without breaking the bank with large bonuses that aren't justifiable for the action.

I like tracking my employees accolades to see who and who has not been recognized over the course of a month/quarter. Additionally, it's a forum for sharing accomplishments and services that deserve more than a simple thank you.

I don't like the leader board. It shouldn't be a competition.

Overall experience so far is super positive. We are still somewhat new to it (3 months) but it's seems to get used more and more every day. I love the overall positive atmosphere that it creates and allows people to compliment others that they normally wouldn't otherwise.

With a quick tutorial, it is very easy to use. I love that reminders are emailed to let you know that you have points to give out. It's been easy for me to forget so those emails help a lot. What I love most is the difference I've seen that it makes for our team. It's helped to bring departments closer together and I feel it causes everyone to step up their game.

The biggest problem I've had is that I forget about it easily. It's usually opened up on my browser but often times my computer will reset and I'll forget to pull it back up.

Nectar has been a positive experience so far. It has stream-lined our recognition process and made it more accessible so employees can see who is recognized and also participate in recognizing another employee.

The best thing about this program has been getting our agents to interact with eachother more and rewarding them for doing so.

There should be a way to filter or search some of the previous posts.

It is nice to see how people are working together and helping each other as a team.

Nectar is very easy to use! It is fun to come to work and see who has recognized you, or vice versa, you are able to recognize others for the things they do to help you or your team during the day to day work environment.

I really don't see anything that I do not like

We've been using Nectar over a year now, I can say it's honestly the only way to motivate a sales team for spiffs and team competitions. I like how easy it is to use and the ability we have to be creative in what we spiff on.

The software can be a bit janky overall. There are a few bugs that need to be ironed out.

Easy to use, quick and simple ways to recognize colleagues for actions outside or above their job duties. The expiring points to give away encourage me to recognize people all month.

The expiring points can lead to "dumping" all points in the last day of the month for anything remotely applicable.

Super easy to work with Nectar team to setup and implement their service. Employees love the customized swag and rewards that they can get.

The ease of use/implementation makes Nectar stand out.

I wish that all of the admin functionality was accessible in the app. I believe this functionality is forthcoming.

Better interdepartmental communication/recognition

Easy to use. We used it at launch for our Christmas bonuses, and people latched on right away!

Would like a little more insight as an admin in to who is doing what. (ie is there a group on employees that are just giving all their points to the same people)

Easy to acknowledge work and efforts of team members

We just started using it so I am still navigating the site and so far have not found any cons.

I love how it brings people together from the entire organization through recognition. It's simple to use, not time-consuming, and not bloated with unnecessary features.

If I had to come up with something it would be that there are not themes yet. I'd love a dark theme :)

Has helped build relationships across teams and roles.

Easy to use, a great way to tell people you appreciate their work and effort. Great way to show appreciation with a monetary gift. Helps improve our company culture

Wish it was a smoother process to redeem your points
