Affordable, customizable web-based tool to support employee engagement

Reviewed 7 years ago

We were able to quickly launch a customized program without investing internal IT resources into developing the solution.

Pros

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 standards, which serves to sustain an organizational culture. The program also facilitates and encourages peer-to-peer recognition and team-based recognition. The layout resembles popular social media websites so navigation is intuitive and no user training is needed. Ease of use supports rapid adoption. The ability of users to customize profiles with gender-neutral avatars or profile photos allow staff authentic self-expression and supports diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Translation services allow users to further customize their experience. The technology is reliable and we rarely experience technical issues (which are always minor). When users request service, support is always impressively responsive.

Cons

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.

Vendor response

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!

An easy-to-use and affordable platform

Reviewed 4 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Vendor response

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.

Easy to use, intuitive software with intelligent recognition features

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

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 want to add rewards to your program, the financial management is transparent, allowing you to easily track spend. Manager Perks are a great feature, allowing you to give out personlised low-cost 'perks' to keep your recognition program fun and engaging. Reporting is one of the standout features of this software, with useable insights delivered dashboard style. Reports roll up from an employee level to give team insights to managers and detailed analysis to directors. Overall, outstanding software that is flexible and delivers great recognition features without a big price tag.

Cons

A couple of the set-up steps could be simplified, something I understand is being addressed in future versions.

Great tool for workplace appreciation

Reviewed 4 years ago

Great experience, great software, great company!

Pros

I really like how easy it is to train people to use this software, and it's a great tool for promoting goodwill across our organization. I am easily able to look up my teammates, tie my appreciation to a workplace value, and share my recognition with their manager.

Cons

I wish the data reporting was stronger in terms of aggregate data analysis. There is more I'd like to do with the data.

Vendor response

Hi Kara, thanks so much for your review. It's great to hear how Workstars is helping to promote goodwill across your organization!

Bring your team and company together with Workstars

Reviewed 4 years ago

SSO fails almost everytime I go to access from a browser bookmark, a simple refresh does resolve the issue - but nicer to make it seemless ...

Pros

As a team manager in a fully connected world, how can you operate not knowing who in your team is doing well and who is not? The insight and emotional support this tool can give to people should not be underestimated.

Cons

I would like more insight on the stats, timeline on when this is being done, is it reactionary or being performed every friday at 9am. There is more underlying value the product could give to help insight to employees and assist managers over time (across teams, regions and other like companies)... help us retain staff etc! :)

Vendor response

Thanks for the great review, Shaun. It's always amazing to hear how impactful Workstars is for managers and their teams. Keep an eye out for future updates - we're always working to make Workstars even better!
