Bonusly vs. TINYpulse

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.

Well-suited for companies looking to get better feedback from employees. It's probably perfect for my organization (around 80 employees) because our COO can respond directly to our concerns. It might be less effective for larger organizations, but I can't speak much to that.

• Great platform design - easy to navigate and fun to use

• Helps increase team camaraderie and rapport by celebrating wins and showing appreciation.
• Helps monitor any team issues by asking (anonymous) questions about company and team dynamics.
• Team members are able to safely provide feedback and make suggestions without concerns of awkwardness or friction.

Incentivized

• 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.

• Originally, requests for feedback ("360s") were not customizable, and employees didn't feel the pre-written questions were particularly helpful. TINYpulse has since changed this format so we can either use default questions or create our own.

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 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.

TINYpulse provided the most-competitive pricing of all vendors considered, with the greatest flexibility of use with desktop, mobile app, and operating system. While customer support proposed by others appeared to be closer to "live" or real-time, with closer to the 24/7 kind of environment in which we live/work in today, budget was a driving factor for us.

Easy to deploy, create and add accounts.

• 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.

Incentivized

• We have been able to implement a number of suggestions that our employees have posted on TINYpulse, things that our management may not have thought of but made a positive difference.
• We are able to identify pain points before they become a systemic problem, and can act to correct our shortcomings or adjust procedures to remedy the situation.
• Sending Cheers to employees is a real morale booster for everyone.
