VIDEO: Unlocking Success: The Power of Employee Recognition Software!

Paying your employees is important, obviously, and making sure they have adequate benefits is also imperative, but making sure they feel recognized and appreciated is becoming more and more important with today’s workforce. Today, we’re taking a look at Bonusly, Assembly, and Mo, 3 of our top picks for employee recognition software and talking about what they’re best at. Let’s start with- Bonusly: Best Overall Bonusly focuses on striking a balance between appreciating employees and rewarding them.

What's neat is that it's international and has a ton of integrations, making it a top choice for teams spread out all over. The interface is like a mix of Facebook and some other social platforms, making it easy for everyone to get the hang of. You can filter recognition posts based on teams or departments, and they've got GIFs, images, and emojis to spice things up. It's got automated features for birthdays and work anniversaries, which is pretty handy.

Bonusly is budget-friendly, and even though it lacks some deep customization features, it's a solid choice for smaller teams or those new to recognition software. Next up, Assembly: Best for Employee Engagement Assembly is ideal if you've got a basic HR system and want to add some fun to the workplace. Assembly includes features like workplace games, contests, and even personal goal tracking. You can nominate colleagues for awards or participate in fun challenges like desk decorating contests.

It includes typical recognition features tied to company values, virtual gift cards, and all that, but they also throw in some nontraditional rewards like pizza parties or concert tickets. Plus, there are cool engagement options like Dream Journals and Mood Tracker. It's not all perfect – the interface takes some getting used to, and there are a few extra steps to give recognition compared to simpler platforms. Also, the reporting is a bit limited in the lower price tiers.

But we still recommend it thanks to its unique engagement options. And last but not least- Mo, Best for Social Recognition Mo is all about taking employee recognition to the next level with a social-media-like experience. Picture a centralized newsfeed and rewards buttons like Bonusly, but Mo kicks it up a notch by focusing on learning, sharing, and collaboration. You can do the usual liking, sharing GIFs, and commenting on recognition posts, but Mo adds a twist with a highlight reel feature for those standout moments in performance appraisals.

You can customize lists to group employees in various ways and follow colleagues like you would on Instagram or LinkedIn. While Mo may lean on the pricier side, it's top-notch for building employee connections, scoring second only to Bonusly in recognition features. Just be aware, if you're all about rewards, you might find other platforms more cost-effective. We chose Mo for its fantastic social outlet, which is perfect for small, remote teams looking to break down barriers and foster a fun, engaging workplace vibe.
