Bonusly vs. Reflektive

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.

Reflektive is a perfect tool for organizations that care about their employee's growth. The tool can help you with career planning and employee engagement, which is important right now because employees like to know they're being thought about while working from home. Employee engagement is crucial right now during the pandemic because employees need to know where they stand with the organization. Reflektive's goals tool helps employees and managers stay aligned.

• In larger organizations, it is difficult to communicate and share news with everyone without sending all-agency emails. Reflektive lets you provide that feedback or recognition for everyone to see, but saves your inbox from unnecessary emails.
• The weekly roundup email highlights a few of the most recent recognitions. It’s nice to see a brief highlight, without having to get notifications for each post.
• Reflektive let’s you tag multiple people in a post, so you can thank a whole team in one post.

• There should be more option to redeem points like custom rewards.
• Then, more digital gift cards are popular for that specific country. We have a global workforce and there are different countries involved.

• Reflektive often didn't do the best job informing users about the product changes we could expect to see.
• Oftentimes, it was hard to know exactly who would see what in the system. We had to go to our customer service rep for a lot of questions that we wished were more thoroughly explained in the help center.

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.

Reflektive is great with support. From the beginning, when it comes to training materials for those new to Reflektive, to clearly rolling out updates in the interface or releasing new features, everything is very clear and communicated solidly. Support is always available when needed, and answers are easy to find when support is not available.

I haven’t found any other platform that I would consider in a similar product to Bonusly. When we got involved with the platform, it was the only one of it’s type and we’ve been blown away with it since then.

In the past, we utilized solutions that tried to do a little bit of everything (give gratitude, self-reviews, employee reviews, etc) but they never excelled at any one thing. Reflektive is a simpler, easy to use, a solution that needs little to no training to use.

• Employees are encouraged to "live the values" as other members see and recognize their achievements monetarily.
• This spreads a load of recognition from just leadership/managers across the entire organization, potentially eliminating/reducing a recurring existing task your company is currently doing.
• Features/freedom of posting in a 'social media' style environment encourages light-hearted comradery between employees.
