Recognition & Rewards

Recognition that runs itself

Showcase shoutouts in a smarter feed with rewards people actually want. Prove it works through easy-to-grab data and transparent budgets.

Personalized home feed

Sort your feed by relevance and see the recognition that matters most to you first, from your teammates, your reports, and the people you work with every day

Kudoboard

New

Create Kudoboard group boards right from Nectar for send-offs, birthdays, and milestone years with one login and no second account to manage

Workday payroll sync

New

Reward spend flows to Workday payroll automatically on your pay schedule, with terminated employees excluded and every submission logged

Budgets

New

Set recognition budgets by team or department and let them allocate, roll over, and reset on schedule, no spreadsheet math required

Revamped rewards experience

New

Choose from 250,000+ products, experiences, and gifts, delivered across 176 countries and territories with local fulfillment and no customs fees

Personalized reward picks

New

Every employee sees top picks chosen for them and can tune their preferences so the rewards on offer actually fit what they want

Automated award rules

New

Set a rule once and awards send themselves, triggered by custom properties like department, location, or tenure

Internal Comms

Reach every employee, on any channel

Write once, deliver everywhere — email, Slack, Teams, SMS, WhatsApp, even the TV in the break room. AI drafts it; you press send.

SMS-only employees

Employees without a work email still get every company update by text, so frontline and deskless teams see the same message as everyone at a desk

AI-generated comms

New

Give Nectar a topic and get a drafted announcement in your voice, formatted for every channel and ready for you to review and send

WhatsApp

New

Deliver announcements over WhatsApp, so global and frontline teams get updates in the app they already check all day

Digital signage

New

Design and publish announcements to the screens in your building with one Display URL; Nectar manages the content, your signage player manages the screens

Engage

Listening that leads to action

Surveys are the start, not the finish. Nectar reads every comment, benchmarks every score, and gives employees a safe way to say the hard things.

AI summaries

New

Every open-ended question gets an automatic summary of themes and sentiment, and every finding cites the verbatim comments behind it, so you can click any insight and see the receipts

Mercer benchmarking

New

See how your engagement scores compare to companies in your industry and size band with benchmarks powered by Mercer data

Suggestion box

New

Give employees an always-open channel to raise ideas and concerns the moment they have them, instead of waiting for the next survey

SafeTalk™

New

When something is hard to say, employees can raise it confidentially and keep the conversation going without putting their name on it

Attributed surveys

New

Choose attributed or anonymous responses for each survey type so managers can follow up when needed

One platform, agent-ready

Build employee experiences that keep you focused on human connection — not stuck in manual processes.

New side nav

New

Rebuilt navigation that makes switching between Nectar products a breeze.

Flows

New

A workflow builder for employee journeys that triggers, branches, delays, and acts across every Nectar product.

Signals 

New

Always-on indicators of engagement and retention risk, rolled up for executives and actionable for managers.

Role-Based Access Controls 

New

Granular roles and permissions so the right people manage budgets, comms, and data — and no one else touches it.

Nectar Signals

The powerful new intelligence layer

Every shoutout, comm, and survey is a signal. Nectar Signals reads them all — continuously — and turns your org chart into a live map of engagement health and retention risk, from the company level down to the individual.
01:

Team-level signals

See engagement health across the whole company: how employees distribute across five health tiers, how the mix is trending, and which teams need attention first

02:

Individual-level signals

Each employee profile shows the engagement pattern as it changes, with a score trend over time and the specific behaviors moving it, like declining peer recognition or reduced platform activity

03:

The data layer

Every shoutout, comms interaction, and survey completion feeds one shared data layer, so patterns surface on their own with nothing for you to integrate or sync

Nectar Flows

The new automation layer

Build every journey your people go on — onboarding, milestones, open enrollment, offboarding — on a visual canvas across comms, surveys, and rewards. Branch by department, delay by days, and deliver on any channel.
01:

Triggers from anywhere

Enroll people by hire date, work anniversary, or list membership, or trigger a flow from outside Nectar entirely with an API call from tools like your HRIS or LMS

02:

Flow analytics

See how many people sit on each step, track open and click rates for every message a flow sends, and download the full overview in one click

03:

A template for every moment

Start from ready-made templates for onboarding, orientation, and milestones, or save the flows your team builds as reusable workspace templates

Coming Soon

The agentic era of employee experience

Coming in Fall 2026

Nectar Agents™

Agents watch the whole platform for you and turn what they find into a briefing: who deserves recognition, who could use a check-in, whose milestone lands this week. Every item arrives with the next action attached, like a ready-to-send shoutout or a drafted 1:1 agenda, so seeing and acting happen in the same place.
Coming soon

Nectar Perform™

Run context-based performance reviews with the recognition data you already have. Self-reviews and manager reviews arrive with a year of real accomplishments attached, so nobody has to write a review from memory.

What our customers are saying

“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.”
Robin C.

People and Culture Manager
“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.’”
Zach C.

Marketing Manager
“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.”
