Integrating with tools like Teams and using a points system keeps people engaged and motivated to contribute and improve morale. The platform helps create a positive culture where employees feel valued without the process feeling forced or inauthentic. It helps organizations by consolidating recognition, rewards, and culture-building programs into one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Recognize?

Being the center of attention can be anxiety-inducing, even when it happens for positive reasons, and I find it uncomfortable to be singled out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you? Recognize is solving the problems of low employee morale, disengagement, and high turnover by providing a platform for employee recognition.

I think Recognizes an important tool in order to make employees feel more seen and appreciated on a personal level. This is even more true in the growing corporate atmospheres of this day and age. The interface allows people to be more expressive on what one of their fellow coworkers and others employees excel and and work hard to achieve. I think the ability to check and receive notifications through emails and the homepage on what people are recognizing you for is helpful. This increases a feeling of community granted the real time updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Recognize? I think that Recognize should have a panel or a quick link to your personal Recognize notes from others somewhere on the Stream tab without clicking your points bar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you? Recognize helps bridge a social gap within the office when you are new and want to show appreciation to those who help you or how to give a compliment to someone you nomally aren't around.

I like how Recognize allows others (and myself) to see the accomplishments I have made throughout the years. It made me feel good seeing my growth and knowing others appreciate my hard work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Recognize? I have heard that I am supposed to recover a tshirt, but have not received it yet. It would be really cool if there were options for incentives per badge earned. For example, you could pick from a tshirt, socks, extra %15 off banfield store, etc. But that’s just a random thought. I’m very appreciative of the tshirt I am supposed to receive. Lol Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you?

Your second point is to give extra discounts in the store when you receive certain recognitions. This is a great idea we have considered, like additional access that can be unlocked. Great idea!

I’d say what I like best about Recognize is how it creates an easy platform of appreciation. It makes people feel seen and valued.

This helps make recognition feel more tangible and fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Recognize? I enjoy the Recognize platform; however, I dislike that the shout-outs do not feel as personal. Some people may enjoy a personal face to face intercation.

What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you? Solve the engagement problem, which enhances the generation of identification and connection with the involved project, because for me, it has become a motivational agent to apply in improvements, as positive feedback shows us that we are getting it right, and when we do not achieve recognition, it motivates us to seek improvements.

I think its a unique incentive for employees to better appreciate what we do for one another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Recognize? $1 per point is really low and obviously takes forever to ever amount to anything.
