Recognition for coworkers and other members of the organization I work on projects with.
Pros
Very Easy to Use.
Provides a great forum for recognition.
Adds to Team Building.
Cons
I am personally very pleased with Workhuman.
Likelihood to Recommend
Again, Workhuman is a very easy and quick way to thank and recognize colleagues. I do think that people forget to use it and it should be promoted more by supervisor or the company overall.
Workhuman is used as a trustworthy, easy, and smart resource, a tool that allows you to celebrate collaborators and colleagues in the company's portal, either you want to offer them rewards (through a points program) or simply leave them a message (that can be public or private) to highlight their habilities, comradery, and let them know they're value!
Pros
Protects privacy when you chose to celebrate someone privately.
Engages collaborators via their algorithm.
Celebrates colleagues and work friends!
Cons
The graphics could use a little boost. The design tends to look a bit basic (I'm not sure if it's the company's or Workhuman's, though).
I think some features (like seeing who awarded you) could be more intuitive—it does not show easily, and sometimes, it takes some time until I notice that.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is definitely very well suited for cases like how my company uses it (which is a platform to celebrate colleagues and peers within the company, public or privately—depending on your choice). It feels good to write a review on someone I care about and want to celebrate. Maybe it would be less appropriate if the reviews were to be mandatorily public, but I don't know if that even exists.
We use this application to recognize our team members formally. This provides visibility to the good work that our team is performing. It also allows each team member to focus on positive outcomes instead of the shortcomings of any particular effort. We use this tool to also assist us in forming a habit of recognition. It is hard to remember to thank someone for their time and help. This tool helps.
Pros
Allowing simple categories to choose from.
Sending out messages to the team for visibility.
Creating a thankful culture.
Cons
The ability to thank anyone in the organization.
An "Other" category when nothing fits.
A reminder system to thank your team members.
Likelihood to Recommend
Workhuman is well suited for creating a team culture that is reliant on feedback and improvement. Team members can see that others are doing well, which may cause others to think positively about their work. Where it may not do well is if the team does not understand the reasoning behind this tool and sees giving recognition as a job requirement.

We use this software for employee recognition and awards. It is very user friendly and allows you to leave personalized messages for the recipients. The awards have categories to select from with recommendations of levels. The recognition is then sent to an approver that allows you to give them a personalized message on why you chose the recipient/s. It then allows you to make the recognition public for the company with your message for the recipient or you can keep the message private for the recipient to see only.
Pros
Love the suggested categories
The privacy availability for the nominator
Ease of use for the whole process
Cons
More detail on some of the questions asked for reasons why you selected the nominee
Dont have more input at this time
Likelihood to Recommend

We use Workhuman to recognize value added contribution by co-workers and depending on the impact, we assign them the level of recognition. This method encourages team members to go beyond and work efficiently while still maintaining their focus and other deliverables. Options to redeem the points as products or coupons is great as employees can utilize the received points as they seem fit. It's just that the products available in portal is expensive and coupons are more economical and most products are outdated.
Pros
Ability to recognize value added support
Internal encouragement to be more efficient
benefits for effective contribution
Cons
More range of awards with flexibility
Products value to be in line with market
More coupon options and range
Likelihood to Recommend
Its best suited to recognize colleague who did a great job and work anniversaries.
The range of recognition and flexibility could be improved

It is a great way to recognize employees for a job well done. But it can also bother some people that think they are going above and beyond, but their leader is not interested in using the reward program.
We use Workhuman to recognize colleagues who go above and beyond in their day-to-day roles. It is a way for us to show gratitude to those who make our jobs easier and more enjoyable. We not only get to feel fulfilled by recognizing each other, but we also feel appreciated when we receive recognition.
Pros
Making it easy to show thanks to colleagues
Helps build stronger relationships with colleagues
Makes me feel appreciated in the effort I put into my work
Cons
Provide a detailed summary of how points are converted
Likelihood to Recommend
I truly believe that Workhuman makes our jobs so much more enjoyable when we are able to recognize each other. I believe that it is important to recognize colleagues that go above and beyond to ensure they feel they are seen for the extra effort they put forward.
