Nectar Likes & Dislikes

Like

I appreciate the ease of finding the places I care about. There's not an excessive amount of text or navigation areas on the page, so there's a lot less guess work of what I need to click to get to certain places. There's an ample supply of rewards and gift cards to choose from, so you're not locked down to just a select few. It's easy and intuitive to tag people and recognize them, as well as see previous recognitions.

Like

I really appreciate how the team collaboration aspect highlights the importance of recognizing and celebrating colleagues. Along with the emphasis on health and physical activities, it offers a meaningful way to publicly acknowledge someone's hard work or express gratitude

Like

The customization, ease of use, and the fun aspect to the platform makes it a win win. Employees are energized to use the platform, and engagement has soared.

Dislike

While I do appreciate the simplicity in the UI, I do think it looks a bit too bare and sad. It could use a bit of love with the design. I also don't know the specifics of the deployment since we recently started this service, but none of the images for employees seemed to transfer over successfully. Images for people's avatars show up as the broken image. You would hope those sorts of things would be ironed out since it makes for a less-desirable user experience seeing a bunch of broken images.

Dislike

1. it works best when everyone actively participates, so engagement can dip if adoption is low 2. Sometimes the rewards don't excite everyone, and depending on where you live, the options can feel a bit restricted or repetitive

Dislike

There is obviously a cost associated with the platform, which did mean we had to market to our leadership team to approve the add on. It also is a separate platform outside of our HRIS. More integration down the road would be great.

    Ease of Use and Participation Drives High Engagement on Workplace Program

    4.0
    Dec 29, 2025
    I was introduced to Nectar through a SHRM conference and really enjoyed the platform. We were in the process of building out our R&R program, and Nectar checked all the boxes. Not only is the platform easy to use, but it is also fun and encourages participation. With other platforms, it was a chore to get people to participate. However, Nectar makes it easy and the challenges really get people moving.
