Bonusly vs. Sharebite

Bonusly has provided us a formal space to post recognition. While face to face recognition still occurs, this is a place where staff can post publicly or privately, but a majority choose public. It has been incredibly popular since our implementation. Staff love the ability to earn time off through recognition. That customized redemption is our most popular reward.

Sharebite has allowed us to create a flexible lunchtime option for many different types of employees. Our HQ office uses their group order product, which curates a series of restaurants that employees can order from, and Sharbeite handles delivery and setup. For our smaller satellite offices, we use Passport. This option allows us to still offer employees $15 per week for lunch, but they can order lunch from any establishment that serves food using a pre-loaded "debit card."

• Moderation. The freedom to post anything for recognition can get out of hand depending on your tolerance/company culture. There are very little to no tools around better this.
• Bonusly has not done much in the way of adding features. Hard to call it a con but other similar platforms have extended into allowing more directed involvement from the organization. In other words: Bonusly is a little TOO hands-off in some ways.

Incentivized

• Knowledge of their restaurants with group ordered.
• Fixing lunch issues in a more timely manner.

Bonusly is easy to use and intuitive for anyone familiar with technology and using websites. There is a page where posts are made, and a page where rewards are redeemed. It is very straightforward.

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

the cost was [the] main factor for us. I think the platforms are very similar. Bonusly is one focused on just employee recognition which is great and concise. BlueBoard offers a lot more by way of experiences and gift-giving for recognition but on the pricier side.
