Keep Your Clinical and Non-Clinical Teams Connected — and Committed
Hospitals run on the dedication of thousands of people — nurses, technicians, housekeeping staff, administrators, and everyone in between. Yet the demands of the healthcare environment often leave the people who power it feeling unseen. Nectar gives every hospital and health system a simple, scalable way to recognize staff across every department and every shift — building the kind of culture that reduces turnover and earns loyalty for the long run.

1,400+ Organizations Building Culture With Nectar
Turnover Isn’t Just a Problem—It’s an Emergency
Healthcare has one of the highest voluntary turnover rates of any industry — and hospitals feel it most. These aren’t abstract problems. They’re the conversations happening in your HR office every week.
Turn First-Year Hires Into Long-Term Team Members
Engagement survey scores reveal dissatisfaction, but without a structured culture of ongoing recognition, the path from data to action stays murky.
Low Morale Is Costing More Than You Think
Replacing a single registered nurse costs between $40,000 and $60,000 in recruiting, training, and lost productivity — and turnover in hospital settings often runs 15–30% annually.

"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" -Hannah Rutt
Peer-to-Peer Recognition That Crosses Every Unit and Department
Recognition in a hospital can’t depend on proximity. Nectar’s recognition feed connects your entire organization — from bedside to boardroom — so great work gets seen no matter where it happens or who witnesses it. Any employee can send a shoutout to any colleague, tagged to your organization’s core values and visible to the entire organization in real time.
- Shoutouts tied to your hospital’s core values — patient safety, compassion, teamwork, excellence
- Department tagging so recognition is visible org-wide and filterable by unit
- Real-time recognition feed accessible on desktop and mobile — no desk or company email required
- Manager-to-peer, peer-to-peer, and leadership recognition all in one platform
Meaningful Rewards That Work on Any Budget
Budget constraints are a reality in healthcare. Nectar’s points-based rewards system gives every employee a meaningful way to redeem the recognition they’ve earned — without requiring a complex approval process or a dedicated budget line item. Whether it’s a gift card, an Amazon purchase, or a donation to a cause they care about, your team gets to choose what matters most to them.
- Points-based rewards — employees accumulate recognition and redeem at their own pace
- Thousands of options: gift cards, Amazon, merchandise, and custom catalog items
- Nonprofit and charity donation options — meaningful for mission-driven healthcare staff
- Budget controls that give HR and finance teams full visibility and control over reward spend
Never Miss a Work Anniversary or Career Milestone
n a busy hospital environment, it’s easy for a five-year anniversary to pass without acknowledgement — or for a certification achievement to go unrecognized. Nectar’s automated milestone recognition ensures that every anniversary, promotion, and professional achievement gets celebrated, consistently and personally, without adding a single item to a manager’s to-do list.
- Automatic recognition for 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year work anniversaries
- Celebration of certifications, promotions, and newly earned clinical credentials
- Customizable message templates that reflect your organization’s voice and values
- Milestone celebrations automatically posted to the company-wide recognition feed
Plugs Into the Tools Hospitals Already Use
IT adoption in healthcare comes with high standards and real constraints. Nectar is designed to work alongside the platforms your hospital already uses — not replace them or require a lengthy implementation. From your HRIS to your communication tools, Nectar fits into your existing workflow so your team can start recognizing each other on day one.
- HRIS integrations: Workday, ADP, BambooHR, Paylocity, Rippling, and more
- Communication integrations: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, and Outlook
- Single sign-on (SSO) support via Okta, Azure, OneLogin, and SAML
- Automatic employee roster sync so your platform stays current without manual effort

“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.’”

It's too important to who we are.”
