We’re making it easier to bring out the best in your people every day, with a host of new features that help managers zoom in on how their teams are really doing.

With pulse checks, team hub insights, and recaps, employees feel more seen and managers feel more connected, creating a steady stream of signals that drive better engagement every day.

Pulse Checks: Instead of waiting for annual surveys, pulse checks allow employees to quickly check in with their manager, directly in the flow of work. Employees share how they’re doing in seconds, managers get immediate context on team sentiment, and HR can dive into company-wide themes or explore results by team, department, or location.

All of this makes it a lot easier to build trust, spot trends early, and act before small issues grow into big ones.

Team Hub: The Team hub brings every engagement signal into one view so managers don’t have to guess how their people are doing. Recognition activity, pulse-check participation, and engagement trends are all visible at a glance, while AI highlights hotspots, themes, and next steps. That helps leaders spot patterns early, address challenges before they grow, and celebrate more wins along the way.

Recaps: Recaps organize recognition, feedback, and goals into reflections that show growth over time. Instead of relying on memory, people walk into review conversations with real examples at their fingertips. Employees can see and remember their wins, managers save hours pulling everything together, and reviews become faster, clearer, and rooted in everyday contributions. Available for customers on our Free, Team, and Organization plans.

AI-First, Human Always: Smarter Recognition with Bonusly, Stronger Connections for Your Teams

Recognition is more than just a feel-good moment—it's a powerful signal that shows what's working, who's thriving, and where your culture is strong. With our newest feature releases, we're making that signal clearer than ever.

We've continued to integrate AI across the Bonusly platform to help your entire organization recognize more meaningfully, coach with confidence, and uncover powerful insights from your recognition data. Our goal isn't to replace human connection but to amplify it, helping your team feel more seen, supported, and set up for success.

Here's a sneak peak at How Bonusly's New AI-Powered Tools Enhance Your Experience:

​Gratitude Gauge: Sometimes generic recognition just checks a box and fails to inspire. The new Gratitude Gauge uses AI to coach employees as they write, suggesting ways to add specificity, values alignment, tone, and authenticity so their recognition packs a bigger punch. The result is more personalized recognition that boosts engagement, alignment, and visibility across your organization.

​Smarter 1:1s: Make every shoutout count. Now, Bonusly can transcribe your 1:1s and goal updates, using AI to flag moments for celebration or coaching, and nudges managers to act while the moment is fresh. This helps managers build weekly habits of recognition and coaching, rather than just waiting for review time.

Manager Notifications: Help managers lead in the moment. Managers are stretched thin and often miss key opportunities to recognize and support their teams. Bonusly now delivers smart, actionable notifications directly to managers through Slack, Teams, and email, surfacing timely recognition opportunities and relevant team insights. This helps managers celebrate wins, reinforce the right behaviors, and strengthen team culture without adding more to their to-do list.

Participation by Department report: Get real-time insights to pinpoint and fix recognition gaps. Manual, limited reporting often leaves HR guessing where engagement stalls. The new participation summary gives you self-service access to participation data with powerful filters by role, department, time period, and more. This empowers you to identify low-engagement areas, celebrate top performers, and drive org-wide recognition with confidence.
