The program itself is fine, easy to navigate and use. I understand the background on why we use this recognition program, but "cash" is a far better motivator than points that equate to roughly $xx cents a point.

Like

easy Simple intuitive

Like

It syncs with annual performance reviews, so recognition isn't just happening in a vacuum. Every time I recognize someone, I know their manager will see my praise when it's time to make crucial career decisions like pay or grade adjustments.

Dislike

While it is a great platform for recognition, it is worth noting the amount of points allocated per year for rewards may feel limited to some employees. Increasing the annual point allocation could enhance the perceprtion value and appreciation,. making the recognition more impactful

Dislike

Expiration or de-activation of accrued points. We are taxed on these rewards meaning this equivalent to cash. Points should not be de-activated Items that can be purchased are overpriced compared to current market prices.

Dislike

I do not have enough experience with managing the tool to know the negatives. The only things I can think of are: 1) Opportunity to proof recognition emails better before they are sent to the client to review 2) I believe there may have been a mail merge mix up at one point 3) Not always 100% responsive (response w/in 24 hours) and requests actioned on first ask
