Read MoreYou’re not just looking for any old employee recognition software—you’re searching for the best.
Why? Because you’ve either felt the pinch of low morale, witnessed the impact of disengaged employees on productivity, or maybe you’re just looking to elevate your company culture to the next level.
Whatever the reason, you’re here because you know that meaningful employee recognition can make all the difference in creating a workplace where people feel valued, motivated, and want to do their best.
Traditional methods of recognition, such as annual awards or generic bonuses, often fall flat because they lack authenticity and timeliness, leaving employees feeling undervalued and disengaged.
Modern employee recognition tools are much more in tune with teams, streamline the process of acknowledging achievements in a timely manner, and make it easier to recognise colleagues in a more meaningful and personalised way.
Recognition tools help to ensure consistency, fairness, and timeliness in acknowledging employee successes. Plus, these platforms often come with valuable features like peer-to-peer recognition, customisation, and analytics to track engagement, providing you with insights to continuously improve your recognition initiatives.
Here’s a quick checklist of the top criteria you need to consider when choosing the best recognition tool for your team.
Stribe’s Shout-outs make it simple for you and your colleagues to give those little messages of recognition that mean so much.
Shout-outs give everyone the ability to send meaningful and effective employee recognition. Accessible on mobile and desktop, it’s as easy as selecting who you want to recognise, telling them why, and hitting send!
Shout-outs appear on your organisation’s Shout-out wall, so you and your colleagues will be able to view recognition in real-time. You can celebrate team members by adding emojis and leaving your own congratulatory comments.
We’ve also given you the ability to link your Shout-outs to your company values. This embeds those values deeper and aligns your people and culture.
As with every part of Stribe, privacy is always in the hands of the employee. If a colleague wishes, they can change their sent and/or received Shout-outs to private at any time, which will remove them from the wall.
Employee recognition software can cost anywhere between £2 – £5 per employee, per month. Costs vary depending on the features, scalability, and the number of users you need. Generally, pricing models may include monthly or annual subscriptions, with additional costs for extra features or add-ons.
The most effective form of employee recognition will vary based on individual preferences and company culture. However, personalised, authentic, and timely recognition tends to have the most significant impact.
Many studies have shown the transformative impact recognition can have on people and workplaces. From creating a culture of appreciation, to strengthening team relationships and reducing staff turnover, recognition helps to drives individual and organisational success.
