About

WorkTango is an innovative Employee Experience platform designed to assist organizations in enhancing employee engagement, improving retention rates, and boosting overall performance while simultaneously reducing operational costs. This platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools, including Employee Surveys and Recognition & Rewards software, aimed at fostering a positive workplace culture and empowering employees. The platform serves a diverse target audience, including HR professionals, team leaders, and organizational executives who are keen on cultivating an engaging work environment. WorkTango is particularly beneficial for organizations looking to gather actionable insights from their workforce through surveys, as well as those aiming to recognize and reward employee achievements effectively. By addressing these critical areas, WorkTango helps organizations create a workplace where employees feel valued and motivated.

Why WorkTango is Better than Nectar

WorkTango is better than Nectar for organizations that need deeper employee feedback and analytics in addition to recognition and rewards. Nectar focuses on peer recognition, nominations, internal communication, gift cards, branded merchandise, and other reward options. WorkTango adds unlimited employee surveys, real-time analysis, predictive insights, prescriptive guidance, and manager action planning while retaining recognition and a broad global rewards marketplace. This enables HR teams to understand what employees need, act on those findings, and measure how recognition programs influence engagement.

Pros & Cons 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.

Cons

  • It doesn't get used as much for our company and only motivates some.
  • The point system can be a bit confusing in that we cannot check to see which ones are live and which ones have expired.
  • There's no option for an employee to choose whether or not their birthday is published. An admin has to remove the birthday from the employee's account if they don't want it published on the day of. Clicking on a notification to see a shout-out in the timeline rarely works. If enough time passes, clicking on a notification just refreshes the page without actually taking you to the shout-out. If you need to read an older one, you've got to go into your account and read your activity instead.
  • Lack of pts to give away, it would be more fun if we were given like 200pts per month, or 50per wk.
  • Only con was my points seemed to reset and not rollover after my first month - However a quick e-mail chain w/ Customer Service resolved the issue, and it was likely my own error that caused it.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use - Great Customer Service. Engage employees to provide feedback about internal service. Great way to send kudos!
  • Work Tango is easy to navigate as a user and an admin. Customer service has been both timely and thorough. The tools offered for admins are useful with minimal assistance required if starting new. There are also training videos available in webinar form in the Training section that have proven helpful.
  • Ability to tie all recognition back to the company values. Those can be customized and set to required.
  • Easy to use, customer service is helpful, helps managers with reminders and dashboards to keep track. i use the reporting features for several things
  • What I liked most about WorkTango is its focus on creating a better employee experience by helping organizations truly listen to and engage their people. With my background in Human Resources and People Operations, I appreciate solutions that turn employee feedback into meaningful action rather than simply collecting data. WorkTango’s emphasis on engagement, recognition, and actionable insights aligns strongly with how I approach HR—building strong relationships, supporting leaders, and creating a workplace where employees feel heard, valued, and connected to the organization’s success.
  • We get to use a unified platform for employee recognition across different business units. We can also gain rewards
  • like how simple and convenient WorkTango makes employee rewards. The platform is easy to navigate, and reward claims are processed quickly. The real-time experience is especially helpful because employees can receive their rewards without a lengthy waiting period.
  • I love WorkTango. As someone who loves to see people give that positive feedback, WorkTango, does a great job of making it so easy and fun to give away points. Those points can then be used to buy things that you actually want and need!
  • I love that Kazoo is a platform where we as a team and company can focus on positive "shout-outs" to people we work with. It has created a habit in myself where I look for great things that my teammates are doing and make sure to reward them for it. I also think it is fun to then using the reward points towards actual gifts.
  • Kazoo helps in tracking progress of our work. Provides innovation and collaboration support. Integrates easily with calendar. Dashboards are very interactive. Easy to setup and understand. Using this software our team feels connected. Easily customisable features. All in one solution.
