Bonusly vs. Guusto

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.

We held a balcony decorating contest and residents were rewarded with the ability to quickly and easily select the gift card that best suited their needs. I was awarded a gift card for performance at work and was to access the reward quickly. In both cases, it was easy and seamless for both sender and receiver.

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

I haven’t found any other platform that I would consider in a similar product to Bonusly. When we got involved with the platform, it was the only one of it’s type and we’ve been blown away with it since then.

We tried using Giftcards.com in the past, but you had to place the order and then wait a week or two to get the cards in the mail... wasn't very timely or efficient.

• Employees are encouraged to "live the values" as other members see and recognize their achievements monetarily.
• This spreads a load of recognition from just leadership/managers across the entire organization, potentially eliminating/reducing a recurring existing task your company is currently doing.
• Features/freedom of posting in a 'social media' style environment encourages light-hearted comradery between employees.

Incentivized

• You can charge up your account for future use which is very handy, but if you're charging from a credit card, you'll want to load over $500 to avoid fees.
