We were able to quickly launch a customized program without investing internal IT resources into developing the solution.
This low-cost, web-based employee recognition program is intuitive and easy to navigate both for end users and program administrators. Easily compliments a robust employee recognition strategy by offering leaders, managers, and staff an additional venue for sharing and receiving recognition. Recognition is linked to specific behaviors that demonstrate and exemplify company values and service...
This software can help sustain an organizational culture but isn't a comprehensive solution to employee recognition. Organizations that don't have other recognition tactics already in place or launched alongside this program risk disengaging employees. Recognition efforts still need to be reflective of the full range of staff needs but this program certainly helps meet the need for a public venue to recognize and connect staff across an international organization with a large geographic footprint.
Thanks for taking the time to leave this great review, Dawn. Enabling organizations to launch a recognition and rewards program that fits their objectives is key to us - and without the need for extensive additional development time or onboarding support. If employees would like some extra help in navigating Workstars, we have just launched a suite of explainer videos which they can access at any time, including on how to set up their profiles, send their first recognitions and pick the perks they'd like to receive!

Workstars is wonderful. Onboarding was a breeze. The only issue I've encountered is the time zone difference between us and their team, so customer service is not always easily accessible.
I love that the platform is focused on peer to peer recognition; the first thing you see when you log in is your recognitions wall and you can recognize your peers so easily.
I wish there were more notifications or summaries; maybe notify users when someone in their department gets recognized, or send out a weekly summary with some recognitions from that week.
Thanks for your great review, Kevin! Glad you like the focus on peer-to-peer recognition too and being able to quickly see all the activity in your organization. You'll be glad to know that we now have a US support covering all time zones.

Engaging, seems to help turn the gears.
I thought this was going to be a simple email to disregard. Nope. Other employees started using the system and it grew and grew now just about everyone in the office is using the platform to recognize each others accomplishments. GOOD TO GO TEAM!
-- Initial User Setup is bulky -- SSO is +/- not 100% -- Small footprint for deployment and use. -- Data is secure and tabled for access.

Workstars has given Onyx employees a fun and interactive platform to celebrate our colleagues’ success, and that has been invaluable to our work culture. Implementation could not have gone any smoother. The support team is always timely, friendly and helpful. Workstars is a great tool for the HR professional’s arsenal.
Very easy to set up, use and maintain; Our employees love being able to give peer to peer recognition to each other.
The only suggestion would be the search function is based on last name. Being an international organization, many of our employees have multiple last names, so it can be difficult to find someone. I would like to see an option to put in any part of the name and search that way.
Thanks for your great review, Becky. We love to hear that employees are enjoying giving recognition to their peers and the positive impact that's having on work cultures. We also love feedback. We have just launched our new recognition search tool which makes it easier than ever to find a colleague you'd like to recognize. The search tool will automatically display colleagues who you recognize most...

The recognition software is intuitive and intelligent, offering enterprise-style features at a low per-employee cost. It is simple to launch and easy to administer with a suite of integrations to manage data directly from your HR database or publish recognition through Yammer, Chatter or Slack channels. The focus on recognition, not financial reward, takes the pressure off budgets but if you do...
A couple of the set-up steps could be simplified, something I understand is being addressed in future versions.
