They can sent it while their identity is fully anonymous and thus resulting everyone can voicing their opinion freely. Cons I have no problem that i face while working with this platform. All of the data that are sent by our employees are safely stored on the platform, and the report for the survey forms is very detailed. Review Source AG Annabel G.

I have been enjoying the sweet messages alongside with the perks of being able to buy things i want for doing a good job and being recognized by teammates for it. I LOVE IT Pros The opportunity to celebrate others achievements/ birthdays and anniversaries and hope to make their day better :) Cons I don't particularly dislike anything about it. I just wish i had more points to send to teammates and maybe to be able to cash it out directly to your bank account.

The Outlook plugin is nice too. Cons It would be nice to have some additional export functionality and some more flexibility. It is a pretty modern platform but still pretty narrowly focused into their way of doing things. Review Source AH Anna H. litigation consulting Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "better than nothing" March 25, 2026 4.0 It is what it is as companies in our industry have the mind set you are luck to have a job and any recognition is better than none. Pros Employees and management felt this product based morale as much as a product like this could through the rewards and peer to peer recognition. Cons As always the higher ups did not like the cost. Some of the employees felt items were pricey and points expiration dates too soon. Review Source KM Karla M. RN Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Go WorkTango! " September 26, 2025 5.0 I use it every day- I get my rewards for walking in the morning, filling up my water cup and for getting up to stretch and take frequent breaks from sitting all day. I also use the "high five" option so that I can share the love and give away some points!! Pros I love how you can give a coworker kudos anytime!! And as an added bonus you can also score a few extra points for yourself!!! It is a great morale booster for all! I have actually saved enough to pay for half of laptop using gift card I earned! Cons I have to be honest in that there isn't anything that Work Tango can change about it - it works great and I have nothing to mention in the con column! I would love to be able to have more points to give away Review Source JW James W. Team Lead, Customer Success Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Boosting Engagement and Recognition" September 25, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with WorkTango has been very positive. It effectively motivates staff, fosters a culture of recognition, and makes rewarding contributions simple and visible. The variety of rewards and the way it highlights great work adds an extra incentive for staff, making it a valuable tool for building engagement and team morale. Pros WorkTango is a fantastic tool for incentivizing performance and fostering a positive work environment. It effectively highlights and recognizes staff for their excellent contributions; an extra carrot at the end of the stick for a hard day’s work, with a wide variety of rewards to redeem. Truly valuable for any team. Cons Because points expire at the end of the quarter, it often turns into a quarter-end bonanza with staff rewarding each other.If there were more incentives for staff to give out points throughout the year that would help mitigate this. Review Source VS Valeria S. HR Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Inredible experience" September 25, 2025 5.0 It seems like a pretty good tool to improve recognition culture, make people feel seen and valued, and to measure and listen to what employees think. It’s not perfect, especially if your company needs very specialized reports or if you’re looking for ultra-fast rewards, but in my experience, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks Pros I really like how easy it is to send shout-outs to coworkers, whether it’s for something small or an important achievement. It creates an environment where people feel valued because it’s public, everyone can see what you’re recognizing. Cons They should make rewards more accessible (fewer points required, more variety of prizes). Sometimes there are too many notifications or emails, which makes it a bit noisy. Also, they give very few points to distribute, and often it’s not enough to spread out over three months. Review Source AM Alexis M. Systems Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Points That Actually Pay Off - My WorkTango Experience" September 25, 2025 5.0 WorkTango makes recognition meaningful by letting us earn points for real activities, which we can easily redeem for rewards like products or cash—making it much more engaging than other platforms. Instead of just giving kudos, WorkTango motivates our team to participate and celebrate each other's wins all year long Pros I love how WorkTango gives us actual activities we can complete throughout the year, and the points system is straightforward - I've already exchanged mine for some cool products and even cash, which makes it way more engaging than other platforms I've used. Cons I like how WorkTango is right now. And honestly can't think of anything I dislike about it right now. Review Source YR Yesenia R. Patient Services Representative II Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Patient Service Representative II" September 26, 2025 5.0 I love work tango! It helps us lift one another up. We work hard and get rewarded for it. I do believe that there should be something like this in place for every job! Pros I like that we are well connected with other employees! We get to appreciate other employees and make everyone feel good about working at GMG! Cons The pricing of the rewards are too high. I would love them to be at leas a little more reasonable if possible. Review Source SW Sharon W. Associate Product Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Recognize My Teammates" September 29, 2025 5.0 I regularly use WorkTango to encourage, recognize, and celebrate the collaboration and efforts of my teammates. It provides a meaningful way to say thanks for specific contributions made by team members. Whether someone has gone above and beyond to help solve a problem or simply deserves recognition for their help, WorkTango allows me to publicly show my appreciation. Pros I love the fact that I can easily share public or private recognition when a team member goes above and beyond. Cons I don't have any negative feedback about WorkTango. I have used WT for many years as it has evolved and grown. It is very easy to use. Review Source JL Jaclyn L. Account Coordinator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing way to reward colleagues & boost company morale!" February 28, 2025 5.0 I love WorkTango, I think it is a great platform to use to boost morale in the company and create a sense of togetherness! It also encourages colleagues to do good work because hard work will always be rewarded! Pros I love that WorkTango provides a place for employees to go to recognize the hard work other colleagues do on a day to day basis. This program offers a place to give "points" which can eventually translate into money or rewards! Each quarter every employee gets a certain amount of points to send out to their colleagues to shout out their hard work! This program does a great job at boosting morale within the organization. Cons I love mostly everything about this program, but one con of WorkTango is that the site is down for maintenance quite often. This makes it hard to submit shout outs in a timely fashion sometimes.

Team Lead Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fun times for all" September 29, 2025 5.0 I do enjoy the tango!! I wish that if people didn't send their points before they expire that it would randomly send them out for them, like to people on their own team, maybe just giving them a high five!! Pros It is easy to use! I like the option to make it public or not! I enjoy how easy it is to see where the props come from and then to be able to give them back. Cons Having the points expire. I wish that they wouldn't expire but rollover. I would also like to see them go to others if not used. Review Source TE Traci E. Account Manager Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "We love WorkTango" September 26, 2025 5.0 At first I thought - okay, another internet site to check from work.

This would likely be a 5 star review if not for the "use it or lose it" points. Pros There is a very good and diverse selection of rewards to choose from in this easy to use platform. Definitely adds to the overall positivity of the work environment! Cons The biggest, and potentially the only real, complaint about worktango is the way you lose points on a quarterly basis if you do not use them. Review Source MS MADANKUMAR S.

Lets your employee feel motivated and feel recognized. Comes with a number of features and capabilities.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Recognize, Reward, and Connect" September 9, 2024 5.0 Overall the WorkTango platform serves a great purpose and works for the intended need. I'd recommend using it for organizations that want to drive employee engagement/connections with each other. Pros WorkTango is a nice platform to recognize and reward colleagues. The options for providing direct recognition and also the "high five" option to add-on to other people's posts makes it easy show your value for team members. Cons There are some parts of the platform that could be improved upon. For instance, when building goals/milestones for tracking, it would be great to set "quarterly" goals without having to enter in the first and last day of the quarter. The platform at times can be a little sluggish.
