" June 2, 2021 5.0 Motivosity provides the platform of advocating for great service or as we say at HealthEquity, "Purple Service"! It's a great opportunity to interact and acknowledge team members not within your immediate department on a company wide level. THANK YOU Motivosity! Pros Motivosity has been heaven sent to connect a large company is a small and intimate way! I love that it is extremely user friendly and easy on the eye! I'm so glad HealthEquity has utilized this software because it is multi-functional. A hidden gem as been that I use it as a hidden company directory. Based on how an employee lists their job function you can use the search field to locate someone in that department you may not previously have known. In the remote environment over the last year it has been a great way to 'see' and acknowledge co-workers instead of a general email. As a leader, recognition is a huge part of morale and overall employee engagement to me. Cons No cons honestly, I have experienced nothing but a positive experience with each feature it presents! Review Source Response from Motivosity June 10, 2021 Hi Melissa and thank you so much for so many kind words! We're thrilled that you love Motivosity as much as we do, and that it's been such a positive force for good in your company's communication, connectivity, and overall culture RL Rachel L. Director of Marketing Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "EQ Culture Queen" May 9, 2024 4.0 Overall my experience has been great and it has made my life pretty easy once we decided to be strategic and implement something to bring a stronger, more valuable offering to culture and engagement. Pros Easy set-up and management Employee engagement The ability to use the tool in the ways we needed and then to adapt and use it in other ways. (Like using surveys for RSVP's, contests, etc.) Cons Just feel like it could have a few additional options, like a page for employees with important links for easy access. A newsletter function. Reason for choosing Motivosity Intuitive platform, clean look, and recommended by a peer. Review Source FC Francesco C.

A tal punto che non ho ancora avuto bisogno di assistenza Cons Per il momento lo trovo utile e necessario Switched from [Leapsome](https://www.capterra.com/p/169660/Leapsome/) Per trovare il software migliore vanno fatto varie prove e ricerca Review Source JG Jacob G. Manager of Total Rewards Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The future of Total Rewards" March 29, 2021 4.0 UTA didn't have a R&R system until about 3-years ago. Once we found Motivosity it really fit like a hand in a glove. It was easy to roll-out and educate the end users on its features. The tool has really pushed the organization forward and keeps us connected. Pros 1\. Ease of Training 2. Performance Management 3. Data Analytics/Reporting Cons 1\. Feedback feature could be diversified 2. eNPS score/rating criteria 3. Customer Support Review Source Response from Motivosity March 31, 2021 Hi Jacob! Thank you so much for your review and feedback. We're thrilled that Motivosity has been such a good fit in your company and that you've seen such a positive impact. Thanks for bringing up issues about our feedback feature, eNPS ratings, and customer support. We'll definitely be looking to improve those in future updates AK Ashley K. Director of Human Resources Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The software that keeps giving!" May 9, 2024 5.0 Overall, we could not ask for a better experience. The interactions with anyone at Motivosity is extremely welcoming, our rep makes us feel as though we are his only client and always looks to connect to us a individual people, not just a company or client. Pros Motivosity is a platform that our staff uses daily. We have embedded many features such as employee recognition, employee engagement, mid & annual reviews, monthly coaching sessions, and birthday/anniversary celebrations. We love that we can house many items into a single site. Cons At this time, there is not any thing that we like least about the platform. Review Source Susan N. Director of Human Resources Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall Love it!" May 9, 2024 5.0 Excellent! We are working on obtaining greater executive team adoption to make our team's experience with the platform even more useful. Pros Ease of use, ability to give recognition and rewards to team Cons while performance and 1:1s are useful, we wish the product also offered performance reviews Alternatives considered [Lattice](https://www.capterra.com/p/151676/Lattice/) Reason for choosing Motivosity Ease of use. Recommendation by outside coach. Review Source MB Michele B. Executive Assistant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "In my opinion the best Employee Recognition platform on the market!" May 14, 2024 5.0 WONDERFUL! Our employees love it, and the feature of having the physical reloadable card is amazing! Pros Our Rep. \[sensitive content hidden\] is always keeping me up to date with new features and is helpful when I have questions or issues arrise. Cons The new funding process has been difficult. Even with a rule to deposit more funds when we hit the 1k mark, the 5-6 business days for it to post to our account is frustrating to say the least. Alternatives considered [Cooleaf](https://www.capterra.com/p/238945/Cooleaf/)[Nectar](https://www.capterra.com/p/186557/PerkNow/) Reason for choosing Motivosity The reloadable cards were what suits our employees best Review Source CB Craig B. HR Business Partner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motivosity - An Indispensable Tool for Next-Gen Culture" July 21, 2016 5.0 We started using Motivosity as a replacement for our previous employee recognition program (which consisted of hand written notes available for employees to fill out at the front desk). Motivosity is far and away the best tool we've used to increase employee engagement. It has changed the way we work in a few different ways: it helps employees recognize and reward each other for help given; connects like-minded individuals throughout the company in things that interest them; helps managers keep track of important dates on their teams (birthdays, work anniversaries, etc.); acts as a searchable company directory, not only for names and contact info but for skills and job responsibilities; gives managers insights into how their employees personalities affect their working relationships; and the list goes on and on. One of the biggest benefits we've seen is the cultural inclusion of our remote and international employees. It really shrinks our corporate world so employees across the world feel like they're in the same building. Recently departments besides HR have been using Motivosity to facilitate company-wide rewards for participation in software testing, marketing feedback, and more. Motivosity is a very easy way to incentivize employee participation in those projects. New features are being added all the time, so the software's value keeps increasing while we use it. Most importantly, Motivosity is actually used by our employees. A lot. Their interest hasn't fizzled over time, even without constant reminders or initiatives to increase usage. Once Motivosity got going it was self-perpetuating. Pros Setup and maintenance is a breeze. We typically have one administrator look things over about once a week, and tools like mass importing and exporting of users and API integration options keep everything up to date. Motivosity also adapts to varying budget constraints. You can spend as much or as little as you want to administer your recognitions and awards. Motivosity seems so simple of a tool for the amount of benefits it offers. Cons Since Motivosity is relatively new as a product, there are some features that would be nice to have, but aren't available yet. Luckily, since it is so new, the product teams are very responsive to requests for features. Review Source MW Michelle W. Manager of Service Delivery Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Motivosity is great! " March 11, 2021 5.0 I have really enjoyed using Motivosity, and I feel it is a valuable tool for our company. Pros The best part is that it makes recognition easy, and keeps it relevant and fresh. It also makes it public, so everyone in the company can hear about the great stuff my employees are doing. The system shows you who you have recognized lately, and who has not, which reminds you to be more aware of the things that could and should be recognized. We are now expanding into using some of the other tools, so another plus is that it is not a program that can only be used for one thing. Cons The obstacle that I have run into is the limited characters when documenting priorities and goals. Neither I nor my staff can outline goals and objectives in a one sentence format! The feedback tool may have its merits, but I don't like the fact that eventually, what you write will be made public to other users in the company. Review Source Response from Motivosity March 17, 2021 Hi Michelle, thank you so much for your review and suggestions! We're so glad you've enjoyed the benefits and versatility of our platform :) CH Chris H. Sr Analytics Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Motivosity Uplifts our Team Members " June 30, 2021 5.0 It is hard to think of many cons for Motivosity. The product does exactly what is says and our team members love it. We use it to recognize each other's great work, conduct employee satisfaction surveys, give awards, and share fun details about our lives outside of work so that we can get to know each other better. Pros Motivosity is an amazing way for team members to recognize each other and say thank you for great work. It never fails to brighten someone's day when they receive a kind message and a small bonus from a team member. It increases the thankfulness of our team members and boosts morale. The ability to spend your Motivosity dollars on a wife variety of gift cards or charitable donations is another awesome feature that team members enjoy. Cons A few of the features included in Motivosity do not seem particularly useful. For example, I've used the product for years and have never really understood why it has a leaderboard. But this doesn't negatively impact the user experience. Review Source Response from Motivosity July 1, 2021 Hi Chris and thank you so much for your review and feedback! We're all about high morale and and positive company culture over here, so we're ecstatic that you've seen those benefits in your workplace while using our platform :) Angie F. VP, Shared Services Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Tool for Employee Engagement" February 28, 2024 5.0 It's been a great tool for engagement. Our front-line team loves it. I don't think we would see the same level of engagement with higher-level employees but it's been great for call center and customer service positions. Pros We love Motivosity for the ease of peer-to-peer recognition and rewards. Our employees love that they can "gift" each other money for doing small things and our engagement within the platform has trended as high as 90%! Cons We tried the coaching piece and it didn't work well for us. We aren't really a "sit behind a computer and coach" company so it wasn't for us but I could see it working well for other companies. Review Source EÜ Elif Ü. Research specialist Mining & Metals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Usefull and motivating" March 22, 2024 4.0 It definitely increased my motivation. I can see my own work load and manage it more easily then I used to. I like to be in touch through this app with my colleagues. Thank you Motivosity. Pros What I like the most about Motivosity is you can express your feelings and build a bridge to meet in the middle with your colleagues. You can say thank you! This is the most important thing. And when they thank you it rapidly increases your dopamine level. Cons Well, sometimes application gives some errors but if you update the app regulary it should be solved. Review Source GS Given S. Self Employed Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### " Motivosity Reviews" April 19, 2022 4.0 Despite the only annoyance I referred to above, I heartily endorse the use of Motivosity. It makes it clean to explicit gratitude, and gives one greater significant manner to have interaction with my co-workers. Pros "It lets you to share percentage appreciation or identify your team's accomplishments for the complete agencies to look. My preferred Motivosity feature, however, is the "Last Thanked By You" list." "It is exceptional to look at what the alternative customers seem to like and what they do and what their pursuits are." "I love this machine for worker recognition. The huge sort of present playing cards to be had is great, so personnel can select their rewards." "So some distance my revel in and has been positive. It is exceptional to look at the popularity and feature my group of workers inspire and reward every other Cons "The upside for him is that the Motivosity interplay took 30 seconds of his time, however the drawback is that it changed into an insulting manner to deal with an employee." "Uploading films is difficult, and there's no shortcut to preceding posts etc." "The impediment that I even have run into is the restricted characters whilst documenting priorities and dreams. Neither I nor my team of workers can define dreams and goals in a one sentence format." "I do trust there were times wherein personal messages were supply public status. Could have been an error." Reason for choosing Motivosity We desired something that turned into greater consumer pleasant overall.

December 28, 2021 4.0 Pros Employee participation and recognition make our teams stronger. Cons I feel like there could be more done with the meetings and one-on-one features. More sub-task could me added. Review Source KW Karen W. Client Success Manager Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Why use Motivosity?" May 14, 2024 4.0 It has been a good experience so far. We have a lot of researching to do to see what other tools we can use in the platform. Pros Being able to recognize individual team members or groups of team members is a great tool. Cons It isn't always easy to find what I am looking for, but the customer support is great! Reason for choosing Motivosity It seemed the easiest to implement and most cost effective at the time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Payroll and HR Specialist Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love Motivosity!" May 9, 2024 5.0 Honestly, we love Motivosity, and all our employees do to! It helps employees to feel seen and appreciated! Pros I really appreciate the user-friendly website and app that Motivosity has! It makes it easy and encourages employees to acknowledge and appreciate their coworkers' efforts. It also helps employees to engage with employees they may not otherwise. We have employees at properties all over the country and Motivosity has helped employees to engage with coworkers they might never meet. Cons Our biggest complaint was issues we had with the Motivosity debit cards. We recycle emails in the company, and this was causing issues within the Motivosity's system. It took a while, but they helped us work around this issue. Review Source AB Angela B. Business Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Instant employee morale booster" April 5, 2021 5.0 I have really enjoyed using Motivosity and sharing it with the team. I think it was a bigger success than anticipated by the exec team, and I'm happy they see what I saw when I first found the software and talked to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. I'm anxious for them to fully use the Lead and Listen modules because that is where the magic truly happens. We've already seen happier employees - the recognition of peers means so much! Pros Our employees immediately began letting their co-workers know how much they mean to them, and how appreciative and proud they are of their work. They spent their generosity bucks with no problems and understood how to navigate the site with very little guidance. The integration into Slack made a huge difference as well, and created more use of the software for everyone. Getting the software up and going for the company was very easy and quick. The software is robust and leads our execs to find out the whys and hows of our employees with very little effort - but with very deep and relevant results. Cons There are aspects of the software that need more explaining to our management team, and until we can do that, we're relying on our "old" way of doing reviews. We aren't able to pull those forms into Motivosity - yet - but understand that is one of the upgrades that are happening. Reason for choosing Motivosity \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]; pricing; and Motivosity's ease of use and robust content. Review Source Response from Motivosity April 7, 2021 Hi Angela, we're so glad that you've enjoyed the way that Motivosity has connected your employees and the ease of integration with other applications. Thanks so much for your review and feedback! AF Amanda F. Corporate Trainer Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great reward system" April 29, 2024 5.0 I'm enjoying using the product myself by giving recognition and scrolling through the feed to see all the great things happening across the company. I love when people include images and GIFs in their recognitions. Pros I like to see employees recognizing other employees at all levels. We also have created badges to award to employees for a number of accomplishments, even for completing certain training courses and earning designations. Cons For a larger company, the amount of dollars that can be allocated to each employee may be restrictive. This has the potential to lead employees to not send out more appreciations than they have dollars to spend; however, training and communication can help the employee base understand that they can shout someone out without giving a dollar. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 2, 2024 What a good problem to have though... Employees willingly dipping into their spending balances to continue recognizing their peers. At the core Motivosity is a recognition software that promotes unity, connection, and positivity through gratitude. Thanks for sharing! MH Michael H. Team Coach Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good for recognition, ok in rewards from Michael Howes" April 30, 2024 4.0 Pros Allows recognition of all types from base level employee to higher ups. Awards are fun to make and give, and overall increase culture in the workplace. Cons I feel that in some parts there are great tips to communicate with the types of personalities, but it's easy to get lost in looking at everyone's. Maybe could improve by allowing only teams see teams? Review Source Response from Motivosity May 2, 2024 I'm stoked about some updates in the works for the most robust reward store. Thanks for being an active part of building connection and unity through recognition efforts. JC Jason C. Director Customer Support Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motivosity Believer!" January 21, 2021 5.0 Overall, I love that our organization has chosen to partner with Motivosity. I believe it has improved teamwork and cohesiveness. People love receiving praise, and it helps for checking the pulse of our people and documenting day to day interactions. Would highly recommend it! Pros I love Motivosity and how it encourages teamwork, collaboration and abundantly recognizing those that contribute. I use it nearly every day for praising teammates, acknowledging top performers for the month, checking profiles to get to know people, 1x1 feedback, and reviewing survey data. It is a fantastic program that adds a lot of value to our organization. Cons The 1x1 note section could be easier to navigate. Following up from a previous meeting with a coworker, the notes are not easy to get to in order to follow through with commitments. I have to go back and copy and paste those details from the previous meeting and would prefer a way to quickly see last week's notes. Formatting has been a little challenging for whatever reason. It wouldn't save some notes I typed a couple of times, and bullet points were just added. That made organizing my notes difficult, but improvements have been made recently. Review Source Response from Motivosity January 27, 2021 Hi Jason, thank you so much for your feedback! As you've said, we're constantly trying to improve our platform, so your ideas and experience is so valuable to us. But glad your experience with Motivosity has been so positive overall!

Pros One of the reasons why our company started using motivosity is for connecting with employees and sharing some thoughts on improving our culture and for these reasons we found the perfect tool called motivosity. It's easy to use with great GUI it also increases collaboration between team members. Cons The only drawback of using motivosity was that it takes too much time for its implementation. other than that everything is great.

" June 11, 2021 5.0 Pros Working from home with a team across the country can be hard to show recognition and gratitude. Motivosity provides that in a simple and visual way. Cons Nothing truly. It is easy to use and does not take time out of my day. Review Source Response from Motivosity June 15, 2021 Hi Kimberly and thank you so much for your review! We're so happy to hear what a positive resource Motivosity is for you and your team, especially when working remotely! KT Kathy T. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Boosts Positive Atmosphere Without The Obnoxious Emails " November 18, 2019 4.0 Our school started using Motivosity to increase morale among the staff. I definitely think that that was accomplished within the population that was active. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. I felt very appreciated because I would get recognized for little things that I don't usually get recognized for because it's behind-the-scenes and it made me feel seen by my coworkers who just didn't know. I also think it was a great experience for me because it helped me reach out more to my coworkers and actually allowed me to thank them properly for what they do. It allowed me to help increase the positive atmoshpere in my environment. Pros I liked that it was a platform where you could thank and recognize your coworkers without worrying about being obnoxious. I always want to recognize people for every little thing (because the little things matter) but I worry about flooding others' email boxes. With Motivosity, I am able to do that because other people don't see it until they log on. They don't get constant messages of me recognizing my coworkers, but they also get to see that my coworkers were recognized when they log on and can then acknowledge it themselves. And when I am posting a lot and feel like I am being a little obnoxious, I also have the option to make my posts private as well. This was also a great place to posts little wins and highlights of my own classroom as well. Little things happen on campus every day and should be shared, but as I said before, we worry about flooded emails. This was a great place to collect all those highlights and catch up on anything missed whenever you logged on, whether it was daily, weekly, etc. I also liked the competition aspect of it. The points associated with the software was a great motivator for me personally, not so much competing with my coworkers, but reminding myself to take time out to appreciate my coworkers whenever I could. Cons The only thing that I had an issue with in the beginning was that you could not post a photo on the mobile app. They have since added that feature, so I am pretty content with the software. Review Source SH Shawn H. Software Engineering Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motivosity is a great way to give immediate positive feedback" October 31, 2019 5.0 As an individual contributor, giving a quick thanks is wonderful to reinforce behaviors and encourage doing that behavior again. As a manager, I can share positive feedback to many people both on or off my team for things that I notice. This decentralizes the positive feedback and reinforcing behaviors and allows everyone to participate. I love how all recognition is immediate with no oversight. Pros Every employee is given a dollar amount every month that they give to someone else to recognize extra efforts. The dollar amounts are relative to the company, but everyone receives the same amount. So if you give someone your full amount for the month, that sends a big message as to the importance of the recognition. Anyone can give to anyone else, and can do it immediately instead of going through an approval process. Cons Money to give used to expire every month in an effort to encourage giving. However, that is very limiting. Many people want to save up and give a bigger amount for extraordinary help from someone else. That expiration date has now been extended to three months, which helps. I think not having the money expire but instead just have reminders to give allows ultimate flexibility. I haven't found people who never give, but I have had people lose their giving money because an arbitrary amount of time has elapsed. What I don't like most is by default having everyone see the positive feedback someone else gets. I ALWAYS make my giving private so I don't have someone feeling bad because they saw someone else recognized for doing good and why didn't they get recognized for doing good as well (I did just as much as they did!) causing the feedback to backfire in its intent. So please turn off public feedback by default and make it private. Review Source Response from Motivosity November 6, 2019 Thanks for the review Shawn. Addressing a couple items you mentioned... The expiration of the giving money is really a way to prompt people to use it and to share their appreciation more frequently (frequency is a key driver delivering impact when it comes to recognition). As for the public recognition, studies show that there is power behind making it public. As you stated, you can always mark it private for those times that you want to not have it shared with others. Again, thanks for writing the review. We appreciate Ivanti as a great Motivosity customer. AD Ana-Maria D.

When used properly it drove employee engagement Cons There were quite of few of bugs and many instances of employees being locked out. It was not easy to set up for the front line employee. Also was not long term sustainable as most employees only cared about the monetary rewards.
