> Bonusly helps teams build the daily habits that make work better—recognition, timely feedback, lightweight check-ins, and purposeful 1:1s—and turns those moments into insights managers and HR can act on. More than 3,400 organizations, from high-growth startups to global brands, use Bonusly to strengthen culture, improve retention, and make performance visible in the flow of work.&#10;&#10;It’s a fit for HR and People leaders who need to scale recognition and tie culture to outcomes, for people managers who want clearer context for coaching and team health, and for executives and operations leaders who want an always-on view of where work thrives, and where to lean in.&#10;&#10;With Bonusly, colleagues recognize contributions publicly and align shout-outs to company values. Teams capture quick feedback, run structured 1:1s, and keep momentum between survey cycles. Leaders see strengths, collaboration patterns, and hotspots as they emerge, while governance tools—roles, budgets, approval flows, and exportable reports, support control at scale.&#10;&#10;Bonusly meets people where they already work with native integrations for Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Workspace. It connects to leading HRIS and identity providers, including BambooHR, Namely, Workday, ADP, and UKG Pro, with SSO and SCIM through Okta, OneLogin, PingOne, and Microsoft Entra ID. An API and Zapier enable custom workflows.&#10;&#10;Teams choose Bonusly because it drives adoption with in-the-flow experiences, delivers manager value quickly through continuous, explainable signals, and provides proof of impact with trends and exports that show how everyday habits influence engagement and retention. Global rewards and flexible funding options help distributed teams feel equally valued.&#10;&#10;Getting started is simple: launch free with a small team to validate fit, then upgrade for advanced analytics and enterprise controls. Admins have access to setup guides, templates, and import tools; larger plans include tailored onboarding and customer success resources. A searchable Help Center and in-product support are available at every step.&#10;&#10;Security and privacy are built in with SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM lifecycle management, encryption in transit and at rest, and role-based permissions. Admin policies and audit-friendly reporting support governance and compliance requirements.&#10;&#10;The result is practical and measurable: employees feel seen, managers coach with context, and HR demonstrates how culture-building habits drive business outcomes. If you’re evaluating recognition, engagement, or talent solutions, Bonusly offers a clear path—start in the tools you already use, prove value quickly, and scale with confidence.

### "Great concept but lacks in deliverance options" — 3.0/5

> **Theresa** | *9 March 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the plethora of non profits users can donate points to, especially for Ukrainian efforts
> 
> **Cons**: There is no way to give shout outs, kudos or thanks without adding allowances.  Meaning, you have to buy more than your monthly allotment to tell someone about a job well done.  Seems counter productive and takes away the chance for others to give proper appreciation
> 
> It’s ok
