Effortless Recognition, Top-Notch Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mattias E. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 19, 2026 **What do you like best about Workstars?** I use Workstars to recognize colleagues, and I really like how easy it is to use. I appreciate that there are so many great shops where you can redeem your points. Their support is fantastic; the team is quick to respond, genuinely eager to help, and proactive in ensuring everything works perfectly. The initial setup as an employee was very easy. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** I don't like that you have to log in to an additional website to redeem some vouchers. I personally don't want to sign up on an additional website just to be able to redeem points. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Workstars to recognize colleagues, providing them with points they can redeem for vouchers at different stores. ### 2. manager and team lead role based user feedback **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ray H. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2024 **What do you like best about Workstars?** the ability to: - recognize my teams and other company members efforts and contributions - review other managers/users feedback to members and comment on the same, e.g. give likes or verbal comments - incentivize special efforts of the teams with perks and financial reward - the support from the team in case of questions or issues was usually fast and effective **What do you dislike about Workstars?** - seeing weekly or monthly summarize of my teams engagement would be helpful to keep track over incremental recognitions given; I currently export at the end of the month these summary values to excel to keep track of them; this would make the integration into team reporting or team goals easier - similar is valid for the team network function, which only gives the current snapshot, however, it would be nice to see a slider implemented to slide on a weekly basis to see change in the teams structure. - the ability to give perks outside of my team too, as I can currently only give perks to my direct reports, but not to members outside of my team *they can only receive financial rewards) - with respect of 'ease of use', the main functionality to give recongition and see others is easy to use, however, functionalities like 'cross team' or 'financial' or not intuitive and I still struggle to understand the value they bring. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** Major benefit is that it is a mean for me to track recognition within my team in context of our teams "Gallup Action planning" as part of an overall engagement strategy to improve recognition. It allows me to track team members, and the teams total engagements with respect to recognition. As a manager it also allows me a small budget to allocate to team members as part of special recognition for outstanding work. ### 3.

Great Company! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Maritime | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** I have been on many calls with our workstar Sales Director, Andrew and from day one, he has been extremely helpful, patient and always available to answer any questions. We were in the process of comparing other companies but based on the way Andrew delivered the material to us, we were sold from day one. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** N/A - we haven't started using it as of yet as still in implementation but from the presentations and Andrew showing us how it works, it looks like it will be a great platform to be using. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** Workstars will be solving our current outdated employee recognition platform, where we currently do the majority manually and have limitations on what can be provided. Workstars will be a great platform for our colleagues to use and hopefully get them socialising with eachother slightly more and recognising/appreciating all that people do. ### 18. Excellent for recognizing achievements with rewards. Also, good support service, agile and resolutive. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katheryn Z. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2024 **What do you like best about Workstars?** Perks system, full reach to the entire team **What do you dislike about Workstars?** Most of the interaction is in English **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** ease of managing recognition ### 19. Simple to use and straight to the point **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 02, 2024 **What do you like best about Workstars?** Easy to send a recongnisition to someone **What do you dislike about Workstars?** the UI navigation can be improved and simplified **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helping solve the employee regocnition by allowing our employees to have a better visibility on recognitions received and enabling them to regocnise other people ### 20. Acknowledgment is everything! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** leah W. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** Receiving an acknowledgment through Workstars can mean everything, especially during a frustrating time in your job. Knowing your work is noticed and appreciated can be the difference between staying in your position or looking for a different job! **What do you dislike about Workstars?** Not exactly sure how to use the program or redeem rewards. Have not seen instructions for this. Don't know what the quarterly recognition is about or how to receive it. Many coworkers are just trying to keep up with their job duties. What incentive is there for them to recognize someone? If they didn't grow up being recognized, they wouldn't do it as an adult; unless they are taught. The easiest way to teach is through incentives or competition. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** I don't know the answer to this question. I've been given access to Workstars to recognize a coworker or receive recognition from someone. That is all I know. It would be great to have a powerpoint explaining more about the program and why we have it to use. ### 21. Workstars has changed the game! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hannah R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** Workstars makes the rewards and recognition process seamless. I love how well the system is structured, making it very easy to engage employees and foster a positive and supportive work environment. As a remote-first company, our employees have never been more connected. On top of that, the implementation process and ongoing customer support have been nothing short of outstanding. The system itself is very user-friendly and administration is straightforward. When I've had to speak with the Workstars team, everyone has been friendly, professional, and quick to respond. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** I have very few complaints. The only issue that has come up a couple of times on the user side is the amount of control the user has over the content they post. We have had a few errors when people post comments on recognition, but they cannot delete or edit it themselves. However, users can reach out directly to support and have it resolved promptly. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before Workstars, we manually handled any recognition (and related rewards). Workstars automated this entire process for us and then some. Using Workstars has solved the problem of time, consistency, and tracking. It has also made it so that the recognition is tied to our company core values and thus reinforced the culture we are trying to foster. ### 22. Meagans work stars **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Meagan B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** It shows when people go above and beyond for the job and shows people appreciate the staff **What do you dislike about Workstars?** limited perks, more options for other things **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** Shows that we as workers are appreciated and gives us something to look forward to ### 23.

Amazing way to recognize the effort of your partners in work **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David S. | Sales Supervisor, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** That you are free to express yourself to congratulate a coworker... also, monetary recognition is the best... I already exchanged a gift card at a shoe store and it was amazing. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** I see no downsides, on the contrary, as I said, it is an excellent way to recognize our team as well as our colleagues. Truly, month after month we look forward to how they congratulate us. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** I think that far from solving it, it gives you that motivational push that every employee needs. It's important that we all feel valued in our jobs, and this is an excellent way to do it. ### 26.

Workstars **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul N. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** Ease of use. Allows us all to work from the same page **What do you dislike about Workstars?** Not everyone is signed up to use the sysytem **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allows us to recognise colleagues ### 29. Its fantastic receiving Kudos in the middle of the Work day-week **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** It gives me a sense of purpose. It remind me of the reason I am an addiciton counselor.

Workstars is great! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rainya D. | SVP Talent & Learning, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2022 **What do you like best about Workstars?** Workstars is an intuitive system for end users, which is one of the best things about it! Recognitions can be given with or without reward, depending on how you administer budgets for your users. Users can also interact with recognitions on the wall to see how their coworkers are going the extra mile for each other and customers. It provides transparency in the recognition process, which our R&R program lacked before using Workstars. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** We did a SWOT analysis of our current R&R program and did vendor selection based upon those lessons learned; so far, Workstars has hit all the major items we were looking to improve and then some! **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** Social interactions with recognition- Inspires a culture of recognition Digital platform- Easy to recognize and reward each other Company awards- Nomination and voting features allow transparency of "winners" in the company Reward budgets- The controls for budgetary use enabled us to give everyone a budget, not only "manager" level employees ### 31. very good system **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** great for recognising people in my business **What do you dislike about Workstars?** nothing to add, not sure what to say as need to use characters **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** Im not sure if it is solving business problems but great for recognising people ### 32. Simple to set up and a great recognition program! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aimee D. | E-commerce Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2022 **What do you like best about Workstars?** Workstars was easy to set up and the team were really helpful with any questions I had. We loved the different perk and financial options, with loads of vouchers available! **What do you dislike about Workstars?** So far, the only small downside to Workstars has been that vouchers start at £5 and can only be used in certain increments (e.g. £5, £10 etc.) this means if you had £8 worth of rewards you wouldn't be able to redeem it all straight away. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** Workstars is a great way to reward employees for their work and we feel the financial reward will encourage the team to continue working hard and improving processes/the business. We are also planning to use it for birthdays which will automate the process for us. ### 33. Workstars is a great platform to provide incentives and praise coworkers. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jose B. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** I like that it allows coworkers to recognize and award other coworkers, which is not very common in the workplace. This makes coworkers feel appreciated and valued. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** Overall, Workstars is very helpful. However, I believe that an area of opportunity would be to change the time frame from one month to two months. Sometimes it can feel like a chore to review coworkers so often. If the time is extended, it will feel less like a chore and more like an opportunity to reward our coworkers. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before Workstars, we felt that there was a lack of recognition. This platform has helped the employees feel praised and valued. ### 34. Great way to recognise colleagues quickly and simply **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rosalind S. | Head of Communications, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Workstars?** I like that it is easy to access, I can quickly add a sentence about a colleague so their manager and others can see it, and I can do this in the moment - I don't have to wait or remember when colleagues have helped me. It is very easy to use with drop-down boxes to find colleagues' names. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** The only thing I have a problem with is when I have to choose just one of my organisation's values that a colleague is displaying - I think it would be helpful if I was able to add more than one value because on some occasions choosing just one doesn't reflect their work. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** It benefits me because although I can say thank you to a colleague in an email, I know that colleagues often have inboxes that a bursting and so may not look at responses. This is a good way to thank a colleague in a slightly more formal way, that their manager can see - and it makes me feel good being able to thank colleagues for their hard work and help in such a quick way. ### 35. Love STARS **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** The perks, and positive feedback from others. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** Cannot think of anything that needs changed. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have not found any problems. ### 36. HR/Admin Manager **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ashley W. | HR/Admin Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Workstars?** I had been looking for a kudos platform for a few months, and when I found Workstars, I was shocked. Everything aligned, and the price was right. Andy explained everything so well; it was refreshing. He truly wanted it to be something that worked for our company. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** Honestly, I haven't found a dislike yet. Scott & Andy have made the set up easy. I like how we can turn certain features off, but if we want to add them in the future, we can. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** They are solving our employee's recognition. We want the employees to be able to praise each other and not only hear it from their managers. I believe by using this application, our culture will shift. ### 37. The future of reward and recognition at TPT **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2022 **What do you like best about Workstars?** Simple to use interface and provides colleagues with a modern approach to recognition, insightful management reporting for senior colleagues on how teams are engaging with each other, supporting a culture of recognition at TPT **What do you dislike about Workstars?** It has taken some time for us to setup, but this is not due to Workstars and rather our own delays due to resourcing, there are few areas to configure, including SSO and HR data, so you need to plan that into your implementation plans **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's helping us to enable continuous recognition through an innovative peer-to-peer rewards scheme which makes colleague appreciation frequent, visible, timely and meaningful. We used to have an online form system via the company intranet, Workstars has made the process now very visible and email notifications trigger employees to engage with the platform daily. This helps us attract and retain staff as they see a modern culture of recognition in the business. ### 38. Really helpful and entertaining **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** stephanie n. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** It's an easy-to-use platform and displays information in a very organized way. It has different tabs for every tool and is easy to find everything you're looking for. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** Honestly, I haven't found something I dislike. Every aspect of it it's very likeable. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** It lets you interact with all the employees and creates a virtual bond since some coworkers are at long distances. It has good incentives when using the platform, ### 39. It helps to build moral in a business and makes staff feel like they are noticed for what they do. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Catherine K. | Administrative Services Supervisor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2022 **What do you like best about Workstars?** It is easy to recognize your staff and allow others to see it. I like that it allows you to provide perks for staff's hard work. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** There needs to be an option to submit possible perks to be used in the future. Other than that, Workstars is good. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows companies to express gratitude to their staff, and also, because of the social media feed set up, it will enable others to recognize staff. ### 40. Workstars **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laura L. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Workstars?** Workstars creates a "positive" work environment in our Office. Being recognized- no matter how small of an achievement can bring a smile to your face. I like that you can choose from a large selection of Rewards to fit the person that you are recognizing. I feel like this program is a great incentive for our Employees. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** The only downside I see is that the Rewards expire when not used by the employee. If you have a smaller Staff in your Office, some employees may not be able to use their Rewards promptly. **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** This assists in employee morale since there are several incentives to be rewarded to each employee. ### 41.

User-friendly platform, a great way to recognize the hard work of your colleagues! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Practice | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2022 **What do you like best about Workstars?** The appearance of the platform, with the feed with your and your coworkers' make it easy to follow. The platform promotes positivity and motivation only and highlights the talent of your team members. **What do you dislike about Workstars?** The notifications of the platform come to my business email. I have found it helpful to create a folder for them to directly go into. I do not recall setting the notifications up during account setup. Therefore, I would recommend having a pop-up message for this option during that time! (Dislikes were a required field on this survey. In general, this wouldn't necessarily be a complaint of mine!) All around a truly great platform! **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** I think that the platform is boosting moral at the company that I work for. In today's work environment, not all employees work in person. This is an awesome way to recognize people that you maybe wouldn't see all the time! ### 48.

The ability to upload photos or .gif files would be great as well :) Other than those two small things, I think the site is great! **What problems is Workstars solving and how is that benefiting you?** Since a lot of the company is now working from home, we don't get to actually see our co-workers and have that face-to-face interaction.
