15Five
I believe if your managers can't make time to have in-person or live check-ins with their employees, the 15Five surveys and tools can create a semblance of care and follow-up, but many employees resent how impersonal it is. If you are able to have more face-to-face interactions or Zoom one-on-ones, those are almost always better-received by employees.

Bonusly can be a game changer for fostering a culture of appreciation and engagement amongst staff. It speaks especially well to the younger generation, but even our more senior staff seem to love it to. I could see it being a little more difficult to use in industries in which technology use was not part of the day to day work, as you do need to either pull the app up or look at your email to know if someone sent you Bonusly points and recognition. In any office setting, education, healthcare, technology, or other industry though that includes an email or computer component, Bonusly ties seamlessly into the day and I have yet to find a place that has implemented it who hasn’t loved it

Pros
15Five
  • The Pulse Check feature is both easy to use and allows staff and management to gauge how team health is.
  • The metric and key performance tools are very well designed.
  • Automated reminders and reporting are great features.
  • I find the customer services to be best in class.

  • Prize selection, a wide variety of gift card, charity, and even PayPal cash payout options.
  • Prize reclamation/flow of money in, and points out. Most other systems are not nearly as hands-free as this. People are able to claim everything with zero approval/foot-work from your HR/Admin team. No prize book to maintain, no trips to the gas station to buy gift cards. It's just smooth.
  • Freedom to post however/whatever you like in the open-ended timeline/social media-esk posting feature.

Cons
15Five
  • The more business units and teams you adopt consistently using 15five, the more you see the full value.
  • Reporting - it would be helpful to see an entire org chart breakdown of the goals hit/missed at the end of each quarter.
  • Recommendations - focus points/alerts on OKRs that aren't progressing and auto-generated action items you should take would be really useful functionality.

This program is the absolute best I've ever used in 30 years with organizations. Not only do I enjoy being a user and "filling it out" every week- but I would personally buy it if available for goal tracking in my personal life I love it that much!

It's very simple to use - not overly complicated. You wouldn't need training to use. There are some features I never use because I don't understand -- like one on ones. However we use without and still find a lot of value in it!

Support Rating
15Five
15Five support is quick and helpful. We work with other vendors in the people management space and performance tracking/management who offshore their support or force us into long queues to chat for support and it just doesn't support our needs very well. 15Five is responsive and speedy. We constantly evaluate our vendors for their support and have switched vendors in the past in other areas because of limited support capabilities

I never had any issues with support. It's especially nice to be able to add location-specific rewards.

Very helpful webinar training. They answer questions, the slides are all very helpful, and they send you the presentation once the webinar is complete so that you can share with your team.

Visually 15Five blows Yammer out of the water! Yammer was easy to use as well, but it felt very difficult to get on to and was not single sign-on when we were using it. 15Five allows for easy login with single sing on feature and has less "clicks" to get to where I need to be on the program. I also love the app way more than Yammer!

Bonusly builds a recognition-rich culture like no other reward and recognition software by empowering everyone to recognize their peers, direct reports, and managers. With nifty features and a simple interface, Bonusly is fun and intuitive to use and employees tend to adopt quickly and use it frequently. It is definitely a game-changer.

Return on Investment
15Five
  • It holds each employee to a certain standard by having them select their own list
  • Gives them the opportunity to reach their list of goals
  • Being able to accomplish each set goal and/or priority gives a sense of pride in each person's work as they are able to check off what has been done
  • On the negative, it can also show what the employee is not being done and may show poorly if there is a consistent pattern of not completing tasks

Bonusly
  • For the majority of months over the past year months, over 95% of our active employees receive Bonusly points from at least one coworker each month, increasing the opportunities to feel appreciated for the hard work they do.
  • More than 50% of Bonusly points and appreciation that are given by one employee are "added onto" by another employee, showing that the staff really do read through the great things others are doing and thus prompt one another to celebrate as well.
