### "Overall, this is an incredible experience. ...Worthful Workhuman"

August 7, 2024

5.0

Overall experience is wonderful. 10/10 rating and highly recommendable application to recognize each other within an organization.

Pros

The approval process aligned with organization organogram. Easy redemption process. Varieties of products and recommendations of products can be redeemed with available points. gift cards and products availability with minimum number point i.e. below 50 points.

Cons

This point to be considered as Feeback rather than "cons". I feel more if I see amazon/Flipkart Gift cards availability in portal.

### "Easy to use system for employee incentives"

July 12, 2024

5.0

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.

### "Better Than I Expected"

March 24, 2026

5.0

The good news about using is that I no longer have to lug around those disgusting paper catalogs. Using the WorkHuman app allows me to see who else is receiving recognition within my department so I am no longer left wondering why I am receiving recognition. WorkHuman is helpful in allowing me to be more proactive with my co-workers as I can now easily recognize them from my phone. WorkHuman has saved me actual dollars as I have used my points to purchase items such as a watch instead of spending my own money.

Pros

I was pleasantly surprised that I did receive the Sony noise cancelling headphones for the points I redeemed and I did not pay a single penny in shipping. I thought the onboarding process was going to be much worse than what it turned out to be. I also was happy to find out that I didn't have to contact IT one time. The app does work while I am walking down to the break room and want to quickly send a message.

Cons

The tracking for electronic gift cards has no tracking at all. This means I will have manually go through my spam and try to locate the gift card. I've seen some instances where the delivery date for the electronic gift cards are way over the estimated delivery date given to me by and it is frustrating.

### "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.

### "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.

### "Good support provided for my organization for rewards"

January 27, 2025

4.0

Have been using for my current organization and I have no complaints with the functionality. I wish they could add more local brands for points redemption.

Pros

Searches are clean and fast. Functionalities are easily accessible and without any lag or hanging.

Cons

Could provide more redeem options. Most of the brands are not ones I would use.

### "10/10 Great Program!"

February 3, 2025

5.0

Overall my experience with is great! The company I work for has used it for many years and I love it as a recognition tool!

Pros

I love how easy it is to recognize a coworker and give them kudos for their hard work. The website is so easy to navigate making it very user friendly. Plus having so many options in the storefront is always a plus!

Cons

Sometime I wish the filters in the storefront had more option. I also with the filters would stay when you select a category, but other than that it's great.

### "Workhuman is a great resource for working humans!"

February 4, 2025

5.0

I use weekly to recognize teammates, review my own recognitions, and redeem rewards.

Pros

The application is user-friendly. The dashboard helps me to ensure I am doing my part to recognize teammates on a regular basis. Also, the variety of rewards is great!

Cons

The recommended awards should be adjusted to reflect inflation. Perhaps also consider additional keyword criteria to better inform the recommended amounts.

### "Complete and Efficient "

February 11, 2025

5.0

very good, I will always recommend this tool.

Pros

It's an awesome and complete tool to recognize employees, the best perk is that the tool is very efficient, so whenever there is a recognition to anyone is fast and that credit is available to be used for a lot of variety of gift cards, those gift cards also come really fast to your email and they always work.

Cons

If you purchase items or products other than the gift cards, almost all the products are overpriced, sometimes they have a discount but still they are way overpriced when you compare the same product at any online retailer.

Overall, 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.

January 10, 2025

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.

### "GREAT INCENTIVE"

January 6, 2025

5.0

Pros

It's an incentive - I feel recognized, and it can be redeemable for items I would buy for myself which I appreciate.

Cons

I'm having issues receiving my redeemed gifts, it could be because of the holidays but I find it a little of an inconvenience since you need to sign off and you never know when the delivery is out so you can receive your gift.
