Namely + Nectar Integration
Sync employee data from Namely into Nectar automatically to power seamless recognition, rewards, and engagement programs.
Keep your employee information accurate across HR and culture platforms — without manual uploads or admin overhead.
Overview
The Namely + Nectar integration connects your HRIS directly to Nectar, ensuring your employee data stays accurate and up to date across your recognition and rewards programs.
This integration is designed for:
- HR and People Ops teams using Namely as their system of record
- Mid-sized organizations managing evolving org structures
- Companies scaling recognition alongside workforce growth
By integrating Namely with Nectar, teams can automatically onboard new hires, reflect department and manager changes, and maintain accurate reporting — all without manual data imports.
How It Works
Nectar integrates with Namely to sync key employee information directly into the platform.
What data syncs
Common employee fields include:
- First and last name
- Work email
- Job title
- Department
- Manager relationships
- Location
- Employment status (active/inactive)
Sync behavior
- New hires added in Namely can be automatically provisioned in Nectar
- Updates to roles, departments, or managers stay aligned
- Employees who leave the organization can be deactivated to maintain clean access and
reporting
Authentication method
The integration connects securely through API-based authentication using authorized admin credentials.
Where users interact
Admins configure and manage the integration within Nectar settings. Employees use Nectar normally — recognizing peers, redeeming rewards, and participating in engagement initiatives — powered by synced HR data in the background.

What our customers are saying
"Before Nectar, our turnover rate was around 25%. Now it’s less than 7%, which has made a huge difference for us in keeping our team together.”
“Before Nectar, our wellness program participation was just over 35%. Now, we’re seeing participation rates close to 80%, which has been a game-changer for employee engagement.”
“We used to spend up to two days each month manually recognizing employees for birthdays and anniversaries. Now, Nectar handles all of that automatically, which has been a huge time-saver.”
“One of our team members said, ‘It’s the little things like getting recognized that make me feel like I’m not just a number, even when I’m working remotely.’”
“Even with everyone working from home, it felt like we were all still part of the same team when we saw those shout-outs come through.”
“I credit Nectar with keeping our engagement from taking a huge hit during challenges that the business has faced. Like many companies, we went through a huge cost saving exercise over the last 6 months... but I will tell you it was NEVER an option for leadership to consider canceling or changing the Nectar contract. It's too important to who we are.”
