Teams work better when people feel seen. When someone ships a tough feature at 9 pm, handles a difficult client conversation with patience, or quietly mentors a new team member through their first week -- those moments matter. But in the blur of standups, Slack threads, and back-to-back meetings, they're easy to miss.
Bonusly makes it easy to notice those moments and say something about them -- right when they happen, in the tools you already use.
Recognition that fits your day
Bonusly puts recognition in your daily workflow. You can recognize a colleague directly in Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Bonusly itself -- it takes about 30 seconds.
Every month, everyone on your team gets an allowance they can use to recognize their peers. You choose who to recognize, what for, and which company value it connects to. Recognition is public, so the whole team sees what great work looks like.
The best part: it spreads on its own. Once a few people start recognizing each other, others join in. You don't need to mandate it or build a top-down program around it -- the product does the work. And as recognition flows, it creates a real picture of what's working across your team -- who's contributing, who's collaborating, and where momentum is building.
1:1s that actually help
Most 1:1 meetings aren't great. You walk in unprepared, spend the time on status updates, and forget what you discussed by the next day.
Bonusly 1:1s are different. Connect your calendar and Bonusly helps you prepare before the meeting, stay focused during it, and remember what happened after. It pulls in recognition data, feedback/advice, and notes from previous meetings to suggest agenda topics, remind you about open action items, and surface context you'd otherwise forget. You get smart agendas, shared notes, transcription, and AI-generated summaries -- so you can be present in the conversation instead of scrambling to take notes.
Over time, your meeting history builds up. You can look back at what you discussed, what you committed to, and how things have progressed. Each meeting builds on what came before, so every 1:1 gets a little better than the last.
Pulse checks give you another way to stay close to your team. A quick, lightweight check-in helps you understand how people are feeling week to week -- so you can spot what needs attention while there's still time to help.
Celebrations, awards, and incentives
Some moments deserve more than a quick shout-out.
Bonusly automatically celebrates birthdays, work anniversaries, and new hire start dates -- so your team never misses a milestone. Awards let you recognize bigger accomplishments like hitting a company goal or finishing a major initiative. And incentives reward the things that sometimes stay under the radar, like completing a training or meeting a wellness goal.
These are all set up by your company, and they happen automatically. You don't need to manage anything -- just show up and celebrate.
Rewards your team actually wants
The points people earn through recognition turn into real rewards. Your team can choose from gift cards, charitable donations, or custom rewards your company creates -- like extra PTO, company gear, or a team lunch.
Points never expire, so people can save up for something bigger or cash in right away. Rewards are delivered straight to their inbox.
Where to start
You don't need to set anything up to get value from Bonusly. It works out of the box.
The simplest way to start: recognize someone on your team for something they did recently. Tell them what you appreciated and why it mattered. You'll see how it feels -- and so will they.
