Briq Reviews

Pros
I like the fact that it's really easy to use. Briq key advantage is to be global and connected to most of existing solutions. It's not an employee-advocacy tool per say, Briq helps developing a positive culture more globally, with everyone feeling involved and wanting to go the extra-miles - among which, the sharing of content on social media. That's important because in this way teams are already onboarded and don't have to use a 50th tool.

Cons
Briq main drawback comes from its strength: it's full of possibilities so you often feel you could benefit from it even more, deploy other use cases, celebrate every type of milestones. Fortunately the onboarding & success teams are pro-active regarding it!

Pros
It help us spread kindness and good values within the company. Without making employee lose time, it helps create good interaction and bring something really positive within the company.

Cons
There's nothing I don't really like... The company is young and developing many new features to come. The customer support is great and as a client, I feel like my ideas are listened and help Briq to build their roadmap.

Pros
Briq's share app helps gamify sharing company social posts. By using Briq we were able to create higher reach, engagement, and ROI on our social media marketing efforts as well as get other teams more likely to share what we were working on (launches, events, content, ...).

Cons
Literally nothing. It's dead simple to use and implement and showed immediate impact on our key social media metrics.

Briqs are a really nice way to thank a colleague for his help or to bring joy to a friend ! Also sets team goals to reach an amount of briqs in order to do something together !

Briqs are great at encouraging you to talk and reward others within the work environment. Its a great feeling to give briqs and to receive them

You lose briqs over time. I used to have a high number and i think after a while you lose some. On the briq store i could not see why

Pros
It really helps praising employees and make them feel more rewarded. Also it has been a good way for us to reinforce our company values and to encourage culture-aligned behaviours. The customer support at Briq is restless, always very kind, available and fast in addressing our issues.

Cons
The product is still young and a little buggy in some occasions. Depending on your company culture, you might need to well prepare the change managent because not all employees agree with the principle of getting points, have a leaderboard and some of them might not take it seriously and hack the system.

Pros
I like how easy it is to use and how much fun it is to use

Cons
I didn't like how I wasn't able to select 1 or 2 briqs to give to someone. It'd be nice if the default briq amount wasn't 3, or if there was an option to give less I want to distribute my briqs for smaller things.
