Pros

“I love that they receive a text message when they are sent a gift card (due to our workday integration) and I also love that we can print out a QR code so that they can redeem that way versus having to check their email.”
HM

HAYLEY M.

Manager, Supply Chain Employee Enablement

“With our previous digital gift card vendor, we could send gifts in pounds, euros, etc. and it would show that amount on the front end prior to sending (e.g. if I was sending a $100 value GC in pounds, it would charge me $75 USD and convert the funds before I hit send.).”

“Guusto is a leadibg recognition and rewards platform that helps organizations build great workplace cultures by making it easy to celebrate wins, reward great work, and recognize contributions in meaningful ways.”

Pros

“It provides a simple way for team members to celebrate achievements and acknowledge one another's contributions. While participation levels can sometimes impact how recognition is distributed, Nectar has generally been an effective tool for boosting engagement and making appreciation a regular part of the work environment.”
BC

Bianca C.

Workplace Operations Coordination

“It’s also motivating to receive recognition in a tangible way, and the points system adds an extra layer of appreciation that helps boost morale and engagement across the team.”
MD

Mandy D.

Educator

“It also builds the company's positive culture and team building through employee recognition hence motivating employees through different peaks as gift cards, and reward points they can use to connect with other colleagues.”

Cons

“My con is i got alot of emails in my account which is kinda annoying. And i had got visa giftcard and didn't get barcode to scan when I go to store i had to purchase stuff online.”

“I dislike that Guusto rewards can sometimes have limited redemption options and occasional delays in receiving gift cards after completing hard work and achievements.”

SUNDEEP S.

Pharmacy asssiatnt

“There really isn't much to dislike about the platform. If I had to pick something, I would say that the mobile web interface can occasionally feel just a tiny bit slow to load when you are trying to quickly redeem a card on the go, but it's a minor issue.”
BY

Bikram Y.

Concessions lead

Cons

“One drawback of Nectar is that recognition can feel inconsistent depending on how actively individuals or teams use the platform. When participation is low, it may not fully reflect the contributions of all employees, which can make the system feel uneven at times.”
MD

Mandy D.

Educator

“As a result, the accumulation of points and rewards can sometimes feel unbalanced and depend more on how actively others participate than on an individual's own engagement or contributions.”
BC

Bianca C.

Workplace Operations Coordination

“There isn't much I dislike about Nectar. If I had to identify a challenge, it would be that participation levels can vary significantly between employees.”
