Speaker 1: Hello, my name is Blair, and I am a divisional director at a staffing and recruiting firm. I would rate Bonusly a four out of five stars, and for more reviews like this, please click below. So Bonusly is not a software that we switched from a different platform. We were actually doing more of the old school, traditional employee recognition, you know, maybe physical gift cards or flowers or things like that. Bonusly was our first taste of a more modern recognition system. We chose Bonusly for several reasons at our company. One, it's a fun way to recognize not just work anniversaries and birthdays, but little day-to-day things that can often get overlooked. It allowed it to be a peer-to-peer recognition rather than just the top down. The other main reason we chose it is also for those more traditional ways of recognition, anniversaries, birthdays, it allowed us to automate that as our company grew rather than have to do that manually. Integrating Bonusly was very easy and it had sort of a snowball effect. Once people started using it, we learned some additional features as we went, but the integration was very easy. The main recommendation that I have for those considering Bonusly would be to come up with timeframes of when you would like your employees to be able to use Bonusly. What I mean by that is it can be pretty distracting if you have the notifications popping up throughout the workday. So maybe come up with a system ahead of time. You know, "You are allowed to implement awards from 8:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 5:00 PM," rather than let it be accessible throughout the workday and distract your team.
