Bonusly vs. Gallup Access

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.

I used Gallup Access for the CliftonStrengths assessment and I do believe it was a great platform for that to be on. However, it took me a second to figure out if I was on the correct website. I'm not sure how, but being able to easily see that taking the assessment on this website would be super helpful. I think I struggled with it because CliftonStrengths book was red and white and the website is black and green. Colors are important when people are looking for certain products.

• Fosters a culture of appreciation for one another
• Allows for each staff to select reinforcers of meaning to them specifically
• Can help tomato sure celebratory dates aren’t forgotten (birthdays, work anniversaries)
• Increases employee engagement
• Connects distance employees and employees who don’t have a department team around them to remain engaged and connected to others
• Allows for specific hashtags that can be tied into company values, to reiterate core values of the organization.

• Analitycs
• Surveys
• Feedback

• Moderation. The freedom to post anything for recognition can get out of hand depending on your tolerance/company culture. There are very little to no tools around better this.
• Bonusly has not done much in the way of adding features. Hard to call it a con but other similar platforms have extended into allowing more directed involvement from the organization. In other words: Bonusly is a little TOO hands-off in some ways.

• I want a drop down button available in all parts of the website on the upper left hand corner
• I'd love to see major companies that use Gallup Access - might have more of a desire to use the website if name brands are on there

Bonusly is easy to use and intuitive for anyone familiar with technology and using websites. There is a page where posts are made, and a page where rewards are redeemed. It is very straightforward.

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

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.

GA is a very professional tool, in my past experience, other platforms had felt very lacking, they cover what is needed but GA has really lived up to the expectations, I was surprised by what it does and then some more, there are still some aspects that need more polishing but you get over them with time.

• Employees put forth extra effort and take on additional responsibility.
• More creative ideas from employees to improve business processes and solve problems.

• I can't give numbers yet but we have been able to split our most recent project up based on our strengths outlined by cliftonstrengths
• Another positive impact is that we were able to bond as a team, we just got jumbled up and put on a new team so the ability to connect with our manager was really awesome
