About

Bonusly helps teams build the everyday habits that keep people engaged—recognition, timely feedback, quick check-ins, and meaningful 1:1s—all in the tools they already use.

Managers get a clearer picture of team health and momentum, while HR can track participation and impact with simple, exportable reports. Bonusly integrates naturally with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, and popular HR systems like BambooHR, Namely, ADP, UKG Pro, and Workday, so it fits smoothly into existing workflows.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Everything! The system integrates perfectly with Slack and our team uses Bonusly all day long to recognize each other. Bonusly keeps morale high and peer-to-peer recognition and camaraderie strong.

Cons

  • Nothing! We have never had any minor or major issues with the Bonusly platform.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • They provide perks to a ton of different places. They have cool tools to motivate our employees. Big fans!
  • When working with the team, we use Nectar for incentives for the team which is a great tool to motivate them and help them reach their monthly KPI's (Key Performance Indicators)
  • Nectar is very easy to use. The overall design is simple and navigation is easy. The new shout-out box has buttons for adding people/points/hashtags instead of relying solely on keyboard shortcuts like @ and +, which makes the process a little easier, especially since you can search the people box for names The social-media-like layout that allows employees to see other employees' feedback and add their own points or comments is great. In my opinion, it encourages keeping an eye on what's going on so that people can share in the success of others and help to build them up as well.
  • Ease of Access, sendable Gifs, I like that all employees are listed and not just the ones that work in the offices.
  • -Very very easy to share a quick message thanking/congratulating a coworker. No need to navigate multiple pages or menu's, it's done straight from the field where you post. -Notifications allow you to go back and review your shout-outs which is nice, instead of them being forgotten. -Customer Service was very helpful when I had an issue regarding my points not appearing correctly.
  • 1. The Social Media Style Dashboard: I really liked the ability to see others who were being praised.
  • Super easy to use. Can give and use points with ease. Very good to give recognition to people and have them rewarded.
  • Easy to play with, give points, shop, etc. Love the ability to add memes and gifs. Just as much fun to read about other people getting points as it is when I get points! Great idea and a nice way to reward employees. Nice to be able to respond to someone else's posts, as well.
  • Ability to recognize coworkers for going above and beyond their normal duties to be excellent. Large selection of gift cards to cash out on.
  • I like that I automatically get points every month to give to people! Im a Home Depot addict so every time I relieve points, I'm thinking about Home Depot haha. Another big plus is being able to add giphs to the shoutouts! Makes it so much more fun for me!
