Why do I need an employee recognition platform?

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

Increase employee retention

Lack of recognition remains one of the top 3 reasons for regretted employee turnover.

Tackle low employee morale

When employees feel appreciated and trusted, they’re more productive.

Reinforce what matters

Values on a poster isn't enough — tie shoutouts to core values to reward the work that helps the company reach its goals.

Stop excluding team members

Team members working remotely feel isolated from the rest of the company. Peer recognition ties remote workers to each other & your culture

"Having used the Nectar platform internally at SHRM to enhance employee recognition, this strategic partnership is an exciting next step to help elevate cultures and amplify the recognition movement to organizations around the world."

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.”

“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.’”

“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.”
