Bonusly vs. SurveyMonkey Engage

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

This software is very well suited for situations where a group of individuals is being asked about their work experience, meeting, professional development, training, etc.. in any way while it is desired by the admin to alter the way content is delivered for better results to educators, etc… This software would be less appropriate in a setting where questions from only a few individuals are taken, making it easier to tell which person likely answered which survey.

• Freedom to post however/whatever you like in the open-ended timeline/social media-esk posting feature.

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.

We were using a homegrown Google Doc that wasn't well worded and was not confidential. Although I appreciated the attempt from the former HR person to gather feedback, we needed a system that was more confidential and dedicated to gathering feedback in alignment with our corporate values. A Google Doc was not the right place for that.

• 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.

• It’s helped me to feel that I, as a teacher, am being listened to and policies, structures, procedures, etc..are being adjusted for the good of all.
