    Great tool available to our entire team to provide recognition in the moment

    Date: Sep 27 2024

    Summary: The platform itself has great features, there are many options to choose from and you can receive your reward straight away. It has become a great platform for our company, it is nice to see the flow of recognition across the organization in one dashboard. Recognition is a stance to praise both skills and feedback.

    Positive: I loved visiting the site often to see what new awards had been added, the site is easy to use and you can get quality items. I love the way you can recognize other people in your company quickly and easily. I loved the large selection of items and gift cards.

    Negative: I wish we could award more points over time than we do now. It would be great to have options to recognize groups and not just individuals.
