"Simple to set up and a great recognition program!"

4.5/5

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workstars is a great platform to provide incentives and praise coworkers."

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"Great way to recognise colleagues quickly and simply"

4.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The future of reward and recognition at TPT"

4/5

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workstars"

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
