I evaluated Donut points, but I felt like they were still in the process of creating features that Bonusly already has.

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.

The "big name" to me has always been CrewHu. Not sure why they aren't in the listing at the time of this writing but they are far and away the big name from my perspective. This is the main other tool we've seriously considered and I think it highlights the opposite points I've …

It's fairly equal across all of the different platforms for Peer-to-peer recognition. For more extensive peer feedback or surveys, a tool like Kudos or Lattice is probably better suited for your needs. If you're just looking for a simple employee recognition or peer-to-peer …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

The recognition piece is the biggest, most important piece of the whole software in my opinion. It cultivates an environment of teamwork and appreciation and has been a huge culture-builder for us! We love using Kazoo.

  • Socializes positivity.
  • Flexibility in rewards. Gift cards, charity, funny gifts (a hug from the CEO!).
  • Provides a channel to reward folks for a job well done. A $25 Amazon gift card because I picked up some trash in the parking lot? Yes, please!

Cons
  • There should be more option to redeem points like custom rewards.
  • Then, more digital gift cards are popular for that specific country. We have a global workforce and there are different countries involved.

  • The ability to create custom reports as admins would be a nice feature.
  • A feature that allows managers of the employees to be loaded into YEI and then they can receive a breakdown of the recognition of their direct reports periodically would be a nice feature.
  • Ways for the employee to create their own reports to see their own receiving and giving metrics.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
