Key user insights about Workhuman

Based on of verified reviews collected between May, 2024 and September, 2024
avatar 1

Employee rewards

Based on 405 reviews
Users appreciate how Workhuman enhances employee engagement through its robust recognition tools and intuitive interface. They find the platform's peer-to-peer recognition and reward points system effective in boosting morale and fostering a positive work environment. Additionally, the flexibility in use and the ease of rewarding colleagues for exceptional contributions make Workhuman a valuable tool for promoting motivation and appreciation within teams.

Gift card selection

Based on 336 reviews

Reviewers enjoy the variety of gift card options available on Workhuman, which allows them to redeem points for a wide range of products and experiences. They find the ease of redemption and immediate delivery of gift cards particularly convenient, enhancing their overall satisfaction with the platform. However, some users wish for an even broader selection of gift cards, including more international and specific store options, to better meet their diverse needs.

Pros

  • Easy to interact, nice dashboard, excellent department overview, and the best part is the smiles after they receive inspire points.

  • It is very nice that employees at a certain level or below in the org chart are able to receive points with their kudos.

  • An easy, seamless, and integrated awards program where employees can recognize and be recognized. A great platform to boost morale and recognition.

  • It is an excellent way to reward good working behavior and to encourage positive performance in the workplace. Software is easy to use also.

Cons

  • Pfizer gives us a cut off which can be frustrating but that isn't reflective on Workhuman so much as it is Pfizer.

  • I never see the products/brands I'm looking for and opt instead for gift/prepaid cards. Prepaid cards would be my go-to, except the available amounts are very inconvenient.

  • Inconsistency can cause frustration and resentment among employees.

  • Some countries and external co-workers are not included and hence no platform to recognize these colleagues and teammates; at least in my company.

"Comprehensive Review of Workhuman: Revolutionizing Employee Engagement and Recognition"

Pros: What I liked most about Workhuman is its robust platform for employee recognition and engagement. The system makes it easy to recognize and reward employees in meaningful ways, fostering a positive workplace culture. Additionally, its analytics capabilities provide valuable insights into employee morale and performance, helping organizations make data-driven decisions to enhance their workplace environment. The user-friendly interface and seamless integration with existing HR systems further enhance its appeal.

Cons: What I liked least about Workhuman is the occasional complexity in navigating some of its advanced features. While the platform is generally user-friendly, certain functions can be a bit overwhelming for new users or those less tech-savvy.

"Easy to use system for employee incentives"

Overall: Very positive- it gives me the tools I need to recognize peers for work above and beyond their role.

Pros: It's very simple to find coworkers in the tool and then locate an appropriate award tier to nominate them for. Transparent feedback is received when their award is acted upon which keeps you apprised on it's status.

Cons: I wish the service award could be converted into a eCard because personally I picked something for my 10 year anniversary reward that ended up being not as expected.

Switched From: GearApp
Reasons for Switching to Workhuman: New employer had a different system instead of the last one I had.

"Manager US Health Plans"

Overall: there are times that the employee becomes aware of the reward prior to them receiving notification from the system. the lag delay of notification should be tightend. Managers become aware several days prior to ee.

Pros: Simplicity of executing the rewards and guide for recommendations.

Cons: Some of the considerations for rewards should be updated. There are times that one feels that the reward should be higher given the scope of work, however tone of the output puts assumption that reward option is not appropriate and needs further review for approval.

"The good, the bad, and suggestions..."

Overall: Overall a good experience, just some minor things that could be added to the store that would help make it awesome for all. Most things/items can adhere to team members when choosing to use their points on something.

Pros: Options for access (computer and mobile device), suggested pointing system, lots of items to choose from in the store, each team member can utilize it, ease of use.

Cons: Work with the companies more to include more specific items customized to the company products or items approved through the company. Items such as headphones and cups. Visa gift cards would be great.

Reasons for Switching to Workhuman: The company made the switch a couple years back.
