Workhuman Social Recognition Reviews & Product Details

I love how Workhuman's social recognition platform makes it easy to give and receive shoutouts from colleagues. It's amazing to see my coworkers' achievements and milestones celebrated in real-time, and it's definitely boosted our team's morale and sense of appreciation. The platform is super user-friendly, and the rewards and incentives are really motivating! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I've heard from some users is that the platform can feel a bit generic at times, like it's missing a personal touch. Some folks have mentioned they want more customization options to make the recognition feel more authentic and aligned with their company culture. Also, the notification system can get a bit overwhelming if you're super active. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Workhuman Social Recognition to acknowledge and celebrate colleagues' contributions in real-time, which helps in fostering a positive, appreciative work culture. It allows me to highlight achievements that might otherwise go unnoticed and strengthen team morale. I like how it makes appreciation visible and ongoing, letting teammates recognize each other, which feels authentic and helps everyone feel valued for their contributions. The initial setup was easy.

Sometimes recognition can feel generic or repetitive if not personalized. I'd like Workhuman Social Recognition to add smarter insights to ensure recognition is distributed fairly across teams and individuals. This could help reduce bias and make appreciation more balanced and meaningful. Also, improved analytics to track recognition distribution and nudges to encourage acknowledging under-recognized employees would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The visibility and incentive to voice appreciation. Workhuman makes recognition public, timely, and meaningful, which helps reinforce positive behaviors and contributions that might otherwise go unnoticed. The platform encourages peer-to-peer recognition and helps build a culture where appreciation is normalized rather than occasional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback is that some of the recognition criteria and questionnaire language seem geared more toward salaried roles. Examples such as leading meetings or committees, or escalating customer concerns, don’t always reflect the most impactful contributions made by hourly or frontline employees. This can create a compounding effect in which higher-paid roles are more likely to qualify for higher-point recognition, reinforcing a perception of stratification rather than broad-based inclusion across the workforce.

It is best platform to recognize each other effort and his/her dedication. This type of platform helps employees to stay motivated and appreciate each other.

I am using this platform from 4 months and i don't see any dislike about work human even i like one feature that i want to tell that if we don't have enough points still you can redeem any gift voucher by paying remaining amount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Workhuman portal is an excellent product that allows us to be recognized in front of our entire team, increasing our visibility and motivating us to pursue excellence. It is incredibly easy to use—within just a minute, you can acknowledge your peers and highlight the valuable contributions they have made.

We frequently use this portal after completing important tasks to reward our teammates and key contributors.

I find the Workhuman platform to be extremely user-friendly and intuitive. I have never encountered any issues with award redemptions. They have partnered with nearly every major brand, making it simple to purchase gift cards and redeem your awards. For me, Workhuman truly makes awarding a happy experience!

Honestly, I have no complaints. However, I do think it might feel a bit discouraging for those who aren't recognized. Still, if approached with a positive mindset, it could actually have a beneficial impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workhuman is an excellent platform for recognizing your peers, as the awards are visible to all teams within the Workhuman system. You can also print out the awards, complete with the comments from the person who gave the recognition. This not only motivates the recipient but also inspires others who see these awards to work harder and strive for achievement. Moreover, it's very easy to recognize someone and it has a number of awards for different verticals for example team player, catalyst, elevate the team, etc.

Award redemption is one thing which is flawless and personally I have never faced any issues in award redemption. I really praise the ease of the flow, its very user friendly. I have always used it as an employee but seeing the UI, I think it would be very easy to integrate workhuman for company side of dashboard. People in my team use this platform often to recognize the achievements of individuals or team as a whole sometimes.

Never had a chance to go to customer support as I mentioned already that the flow is great and easy to understand! Overall, it's a really really good platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's difficult to find something I dislike, but since the awards are visible to everyone, this could occasionally discourage new joiners who haven't had the chance to prove themselves yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Workhuman Social Recognition is how genuinely human it feels. Recognition isn’t top-down or forced—it comes from peers and leaders in real moments, tied to real impact. That makes appreciation feel authentic, not transactional. It helps build a culture where people feel seen for their everyday contributions, not just big wins, and that creates stronger connection, motivation, and trust across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is that recognition can sometimes feel inconsistent—some teams or individuals participate actively, while others rarely use it, which can create uneven visibility. Also, if not guided well, recognition may lean toward frequent contributors and overlook quieter but equally impactful work. A bit more structure or nudging could help make recognition more inclusive and evenly distributed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like using Workhuman Social Recognition because it's very easy to use. It helps us recognize and appreciate employees for their yearly contributions, achievements, and day-to-day work. The platform promotes a culture of appreciation with peer-to-peer recognition, celebrating milestones, and reinforcing company values. I find the peer-to-peer appreciation feature especially valuable as it allows us to recognize our peers in real time, not just from managers, creating a nice environment within the team. The platform supports timely recognition across teams, which improves employee engagement, motivation, and overall morale. Setting it up was also very easy, making it a great tool for our company.

I appreciate how Workhuman Social Recognition fosters a culture of appreciation by making it simple to recognize and celebrate good work as it happens. Being acknowledged by both peers and leaders feels truly meaningful, and it motivates me to remain engaged and strive for better performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform is generally positive, recognition at times seems inconsistent, with certain contributions receiving more visibility than others. Having more structured guidelines could help ensure that recognition is distributed more evenly and fairly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
