“I do enjoy on the WorkHuman website that you can shop for physical items or gift cards Having the option between the two is nice. And you can choose to send items or gift cards to any email address or mailing address you want, so it is not always sent to the same place if you want to change that.“

“The ability to track and share these highlights with leadership has also improved transparency and communication across different levels of the organization. While there is room for improvement in terms of customization, the platform has been an invaluable tool for promoting a culture of recognition and appreciation.“

“When you apply multiple filters or sorting to searches for items to redeem your points on, the custom search doesn't always save, so you may have to redo the filtering you applied.“

“The way my company has chosen to implement the system does not allow individual employees without a "points budget" to even give a few points in addition to recognizing a fellow employee. “

“Claims that point values never expire once awarded, but requires contact with support to reactive "inactive" awards due to each award having a "soft expiration date". Unless users keep track of their own award count or investigate point value, they could mistakenly think their balance is lower than it actually is due to inactive points“

Digital and automatic notification - reporting Value of benefit

Customize the group for nominee. I think there is a difficulty to save customized group for nominee

### "I have tested the system and it has functioned correctly"

February 7, 2026

5.0

I get to give the crew points so that they feel like they're earning money other than just their base salary and I think it's useful in the face of inflation. I used it to get a replacement for damaged product I bought elsewhere and the customer service was far better than that company's. It never lets me miss someone's work anniversary because the data is already saved within the database.

Pros

I can send a badge from the galley as I wait for our flight to land, and my laptop is currently melti…they’re burning my legs due to the busted fan The system didn't fail when I tried entering with just my normal work email.

Cons

There are too many tabs in the application this creates another frustrating case. The local team typed my address wrong and the package I got was delivered to the wrong house and it became a mess trying to fix it.

### "Motivation"

August 12, 2024

4.0

I have had an amazing experience with giving and receiving points. I wish more people would participate.

Pros

The ability to recognize people that may be on a lower level within your company that would otherwise not be recognized by leaders.

Cons

The points don't match the value of the gift. Also, leadership has the ability to demote the Inspire points down to Cheers for Peers that carry no value. It doesn't quite mean as much to the person receiving the inspiration points.

July 3, 2024

5.0

Amazing product to use, best to appreciate and keep the team motivated

Pros

The reward points, the most essential thing to not just appreciate but also motivate the team to Do better on their deliverables.

Cons

May be points expiry should not be there in this system, so that employees can redeem in bulk.

### "The best employee recognition tool! "

July 16, 2025

5.0

Very positive - expect for the high points and limitations to redeem them. It has been a great experience on Workhuman

Pros

The ease of use of the platform and the intuitive nature of the features. I have used the platform for years now and recognised many coworkers

Cons

The fact that the number of partners is limited. As a result points can't be redeemed in some major retail shops. A good alternative to that could be to make it possible to redeem on temporary bank card. Another issue is the fact that some items are very overpriced when reedeming on the platform directly against points instead of a voucher for let's say Argos

### "Working and Being Human"

January 13, 2025

5.0

Workhuman has been a great tool for recognizing the hard work that might otherwise go unrecognized by team members. It's important to remember in a work environment that we're all human by nature and appreciate thanks and acknowledgement for the extra hard work that we accomplish beyond our day to day roles and responsibilities.

Pros

The platform is an easy to use and flexible tool that allows you to publicly acknowledge the accomplishments of your co-workers so that others know and see that they are going above and beyond.

Cons

I wish there were more options for redeeming impact award credits around different travel activities/excursions/etc.

### "Great places to get all the vouchers you need in one place!"

January 30, 2025

5.0

My experience was all great. I have never had any problems with Workhuman. From browsing available items per category to redeeming vouchers, it's a lit. The site is responsive, easy to navigate, and most of all, it's user-friendly. I would definitely recommend this.

Pros

My favorite thing about Workhuman is how simple it is to purchase or redeem gift cards. The fact that using the voucher to apply it to any of your purchases or as a gift will not take you long makes it incredibly convenient. It will ask you to double-check the information before using the voucher to ensure that you will not make any mistakes. It allows time for review prior to submission. Additionally, the code will be available in a matter of minutes.

Cons

If I were to search for one thing, it would be the variety of gift card amounts that I could use. It would be fantastic if they let you enter any custom amount that you could use as a voucher.

January 29, 2025

5.0

Pros

I love that I can get recognition from my co-workers and that I can send recognition back. It's a great way to enhance work experience and get work incentives.

### "Recognition Made Easy"

January 31, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with the Workhuman platform has been fantastic; as mentioned above, it makes recognizing and celebrating my colleagues' achievements a delightful part of my workday.

Pros

Seamless integration and a user-friendly interface make recognizing and celebrating my colleagues' achievements straightforward and rewarding.

Cons

While I appreciate the variety of gift cards available on the Workhuman platform, I've noticed some inconsistencies with the merchants, particularly with grocery stores. It would be great to have a more stable selection, as some of my frequently requested options seem to change regularly.

### "Workhuman review"

December 31, 2024

4.0

Overall, Workhuman consistently provides a pleasant user experience with positive vibes; it is easy to use and navigate.

Pros

The interface is user friendly and intuitive to navigate to recognize my peers and colleagues and also when searching for gifts to redeem. There are also timely email reminders and notification.

Cons

Some of the gift cards and vouches could be presented in smaller denomination, but I understand this might be constrained by the vendors/providers.

### "Recognition and rewards"

February 3, 2025

4.0

A very seamless and straightforward process.

Pros

The electronic process of connecting appreciation in this new work environment of working remote.

Cons

this process can be without human contact, and possibly sterile in that manner. Possibility of incorporating video clips or voice memos to incorporate a more personal approach,?

January 10, 2025

5.0

Very Positive. Very easy to use. I was very convenient to be able to submit co-workers right after the activity that you wanted to recognize happens.

Pros

I liked being able to send recognitions to colleagues after projects. Very easy to use platform.

Cons

There were sometimes when it was hard to pick between choices, but I think that was more of the config and not the tool itself.

August 29, 2024

5.0

Overall using the site has been smooth and easy.

Pros

Ease of use. Very easy to recognize a colleague. I also like the history function to go back and see who you have recognized and for what occasion.

Cons

I would like to see more increments in levels of recognition. Currently ours is set up as $15, $25, $50, $100, $500, $1000, $2000. I would like to see a $200 (4K points), and $300 (6K points) award
