WorkTango Reviews & Product Details

WorkTango is a comprehensive Employee Experience platform that combines Surveys & Insights and Recognition & Rewards software to improve employee retention, boost employee performance, and enable leadership. -WorkTango's Surveys & Insights solution enables organizations to deploy unlimited employee surveys across the entire employee lifecycle, including pulse surveys, automated employee onboarding and exit surveys, and leadership effectiveness surveys. What sets WorkTango apart is making employee feedback immediately actionable. WorkTango automatically generates recommended action plans specific to each leader the moment employee surveys close. AI-assisted employee survey analytics through Comment Summaries and Comment Themes analyze thousands of employee survey responses in seconds, helping leadership teams identify employee engagement trends and surface opportunities. Leaders visualize employee sentiment through AI-powered Sentiment Clouds and engage via Anonymous Conversations while maintaining employee confidentiality. Robust dashboards and insights enable leaders to respond proactively to employee engagement gaps and predict employee turnover risks before they impact business outcomes. -WorkTango's Recognition & Rewards solution creates a culture of employee appreciation that drives employee motivation and reinforces organizational values. The employee rewards platform offers over ten million zero-markup employee reward options from brands like Apple and Amazon to charitable donations, with transparent employee rewards pricing where organizations only pay when employees redeem rewards. The platform enables peer-to-peer employee recognition, manager-to-employee recognition, and top-down employee recognition enhanced with AI-powered Recognition Writing Assistance and Recognition Quality Scores. Organizations automate employee milestone celebrations, run employee nominations and awards programs, and leverage the Employee Incentives portal to drive participation in employee wellness programs and employee survey completion. Integration with workplace communication tools means employee recognition happens in the flow of work. Unlike fragmented employee engagement solutions requiring separate employee survey software and employee recognition platforms, WorkTango unifies both in one employee experience platform. Organizations using WorkTango report dramatic improvements in employee retention, significant increases in employee engagement scores and survey participation, substantial reductions in overhead administrative costs, and enhanced manager effectiveness. When smart employee surveys and zero-markup recognition work together in one platform, organizations maximize their investment while closing the loop between listening and action and drive measurable ROI for their business.

"WorkTango: Recognition that works"

5/5

What do you like best about WorkTango?

What I like best about WorkTango is that it's not just a simple recognition tool, it is so much more. It’s something that everyone looks forward to, both when giving and receiving recognition. It creates a culture where appreciation isn’t just routine, it feels meaningful and exciting. Besides recognition, I really appreciate how WorkTango encourages us to be mindful about our health and the environment. I love that it provides ways to give back to others, whether it’s through gift giving or making donations. It truly helps us build a more caring workplace and community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkTango?

I would like to see a wider selection of merchandise to choose from. Additionally, it would be great to have a separate entry for tree planting, where the company or WorkTango matches the number of trees planted to help rehabilitate the forest. Finally, I suggest having an entry for monthly team building activities that showcase team accomplishments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WorkTango offers a platform where individuals can be recognized for their achievements and for the support they provide to others. It also fosters a sense of personal pride when you accomplish something meaningful for yourself, contribute to others, or make a positive impact on the environment.

"Motivating and Rewarding Staff; great incentives!"

5/5

What do you like best about WorkTango?

WorkTango is a fantastic tool for incentivizing performance and fostering a positive work environment. It effectively highlights and recognizes staff for their excellent contributions; an extra carrot at the end of the stick for a hard day’s work, with a wide variety of rewards to redeem. Truly valuable for any team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkTango?

Because points expire at the end of the quarter, it often turns into a quarter-end bonanza with staff rewarding each other.If there were more incentives for staff to give out points throughout the year that would help mitigate this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WorkTango solving and how is that benefiting you?

WorkTango helps solve the problem of recognizing and rewarding staff for their contributions in a structured and visible way. By making it easy to highlight excellent work and offer tangible rewards, it fosters a positive and motivating work environment. For me, this means staff feel appreciated, morale is higher, and I can more effectively encourage consistent performance throughout the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great way to build an appreciative atmosphere in the workplace."

5/5

What do you like best about WorkTango?

Great range of rewards available, particularly the variety of virtual gift cards. There is a good mix of thresholds too, meaning you can still get a smaller voucher if you don't have a huge amount of points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkTango?

I find many of my colleagues forget to give props before they points expire. I'm aware the balance and expiry date appears on the home screen, but perhaps an email the week of expiration could help. I' also not sure if it's a feature already, but I would like for different roles to have different amount of points to give. For example, I run the complaints team and am also a trainer, I would like to have more points to give team members when they do well in training or deescalate a potential complaint.

"Super fun way of showing thanks!"

5/5

What do you like best about WorkTango?

This is a fun and delightful way to show appreciation to a teammate, offer birthday greetings, or just bring a little joy to someone's day without any special occasion. It's very easy to use, it keeps a running tab of how many points you have left to use, and also how many you've earned. I continue to use all my points quarterly, and only wish that I had more to give! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkTango?

I honestly can't think of any downsides, as it's incredibly enjoyable and simple to use. I have never even needed to use customer support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Peer Recognition, But Lacks Meaningful Engagement"

5/5

What do you like best about WorkTango?

I appreciate having the opportunity to recognize my peers for the work they do, especially when their efforts might otherwise go unnoticed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkTango?

I dislike that people can simply like a post to give points without actually acknowledging it or offering any additional support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WorkTango enables organizations to express appreciation for their peers' contributions to daily work, whether it's something minor like sending a helpful reminder or something more significant, such as stepping in to present a major dataset on someone else's behalf.

"Simple and fun way to appreciate team efforts"

5/5

What do you like best about WorkTango?

I love how frictionless it is to send appreciation. The UI is clean, intuitive, and the point system adds a nice touch of gamification that keeps the team engaged. Whether it's a small shoutout or a big milestone, WorkTango helps us make recognition visible and consistent across the org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkTango?

There’s not much to dislike, but occasionally I wish there were more reward options or better filtering when browsing redemption items. Also, some notifications can feel repetitive, especially if you’re part of a large team. But these are minor compared to the overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WorkTango solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the classic issue of unrecognized effort. Before WorkTango, appreciation often stayed between managers and direct reports or got missed entirely. Now, anyone can recognize anyone instantly, across teams and levels. That visibility encourages a positive, collaborative culture. It also makes giving appreciation a regular habit, not just a yearly review thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
