Fond is great

Reviewed on 5/8/2020

Pros

It's very easy to give recognition and to redeem points through Fond. It's a quick and easy way to recognize the people you work with for their contributions.

Cons

The integration with slack is not very intuitive. I primarily use Fond through the Fond website directly.

Response from Reward Gateway

Thank you so much for your feedback, we're glad you're enjoying Fond! I have passed your comments about the Slack integration along to the appropriate team. If you have any questions or additional insights to share, you are welcome to reach out to me directly at [email protected].

We keep working to improve engagement through the platform. The service team at Reward Gateway is amazing and always so responsive and great to work with.

Pros

The ease of use and ability to make changes is key. The team enjoys the eCards and opportunities to recognize one another. Great tool for engagement!

Cons

I would like to be able to run more detailed reports (for example, specifics on each of the eCards - who is using them and what is said vs. just knowing the percentage of usage).

As I said, the idea behind the product is fantastic... Just, in my humble opinion, lacks a lot of luster and the "security" is overkill for a platform that houses NO protected information (nor should it).

Pros

The idea behind it rocks... The fact that it interfaces so well with ADP is a huge plus and I do like the employee home page... Other than that not much to write home about (including how insanely confusing the admin side is).

Cons

I personally loved this product when it was Brand Integrity... When Reward Gateway bought/merged with BI I feel the product took a severe hit. There are a lot of things I do not like. 1) The fact it went from being a fun way to engage employees to now everyone must have a working e-mail and 2 factor authentication and if you don't have an e-mail it will not work. We have 110 employees who don't have work e-mail who cannot use this product. Our CEO can't write group reviews because of the security features on here (she reports to nobody). We went from a mom and pop company owning this platform (which was great) to a multi-million dollar company and it seems things got worst.

It allows for me to recognize co-workers in a way that mimicked social media as it allows for all employees to see the recognition once posted

Pros

The system is user friendly and allows for the user to entire a multitude of recognition options and titles. The system is also visually pleasing which always makes a system rank higher in favorability.

Cons

The options used by the company I work for has the user title the recognition, write a blurb for the recognition as well as then select categories that the recognition falls into. It's cumbersome and I often find myself reluctant to take the time to do them as coming up with a title can be cumbersome for me.

Pros

It's great when companies decide to use this to give some perks to the employees.

Cons

Perks come and go but the code remains active. why not just have them all listed

Response from Reward Gateway

Thank you so much for your feedback. I would love to know which perk(s) you've encountered inconsistencies with. If you could let me know by emailing [email protected], I will do my best to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Nice and easy platform to announce recognition

Reviewed on 15/11/2019

Pros

It's easy for people to announce recognition of others work -- even if that person is shy or not comfortable sending a wide email.

Cons

I think it makes the recognition too grand -- there's a lot of weight to using it, so you may feel uneasy using it for smaller or medium-levels of recognition.

Response from Reward Gateway

Thank you so much for your feedback. Regarding your desire for more scalable recognition occasions, I encourage you to reach out to an internal HR administrator who may be able to support refined recognition practices. I would also be happy to pass along some of the resources Fond has put together on best practices for employee recognition. If you're interested, please let me know by emailing [email protected].

Pros

There are lots of options to choose from. The different types of perks are organized in a way that it is easy to find.

Cons

There could be some additional perks added and make it perks based on your geo location.

Response from Reward Gateway

Thank you so much for your feedback, we're glad you're enjoying Fond. You can find perks based on your geo location by navigating to the Rewards and Perks page in the Fond mobile app and selecting the map icon located in the top left of the screen. This will show perks near you. You can also search perks by location using the location-specific category feature on the Fond website.

Great start for your Employee Recognition Program

Reviewed on 22/11/2022

Pros

Reward Gateway's implementation period was fast. Customer support is attentive. If you're looking for integrating an Employee Recognition program, they have all the features you need to be successful. Their marketplace is great too, and employees can really pick and choose how to claim their awards. Also, they're actively adding new features!

Cons

Customization of reports (especially for determining ROI or employee usage) can be better. You're limited to pre-made reports that you might not even use in the long run.Also, customization of names. The system prefers legal names but some employees go by preferred names. It would be great to have the option of using preferred names to make rewards and recognition more personalized.There are lots more improvements to be had, but I know the team is updating features periodically.

So far our overall experience is very positive. We had an amazing implementation specialist and anytime we ask for help in the chat feature, we receive immediate support.

Pros

Since we launched the platform, we've seen lots of engagement in the awards and recognition section of the platform. Our managers enjoy being able to offer monetary rewards in real time and recognizing their employees so that the whole company can celebrate their success!

Cons

Would be good to offer a how to on writing the blogs, we created one but one wasn't offered by Reward Gateway. Would be nice to see the activity happening in the blogs more prominently like we do for the recognition and rewards as well as the option to add a GIF/meme as a reaction. Also, when the product was sold to us, we were told that it integrated with other software like Teams. In reality, we set up the integration. I think it would be good to be more clear on what integration means to someone not in IT.

Neutral....There are some limitations to the functionality, and we have opted not to use the monetary recognition portion for budget/compliance reasons. People seem to like the platform, but as an administrator it's often more trouble than it's worth to use for things like EE announcements, or to make any updates to content.

Pros

The social recognition wall has been a great way to increase peer-to-peer recognition and employee engagement.

Cons

The system itself is not very intuitive or user-friendly for administrators.

Pros

Very easy to navigate and use. A wonderful tool to recognize other employees for going the extra mile and helps us to be very aware of the internal customer service that we are giving. And the rewards page has a large variety of items that you are able to chose from when cashing in your points.

Cons

Overall experience has been seamless and though I haven't had to reach out much for support, they have always been quick to respond and assist.

Pros

I like that Fond is integrated with Namely so that I don't have to worry about managing employees in both systems. I also like the ease of the website, including admin, and the variety of perks and rewards offered.

Cons

With my employee list being automatically synced, I wish there was a way to also edit the employees on Fond, so that I can exclude the owners from receiving automated rewards, for example.

We are using Fond to help employees to recognize good behaviors that fellow team members exhibit and also to help them be empowered to reward the behaviors that they would like to see more of.

Pros

It is easy to integrate with our Business practices...and the software is easy to navigate

Cons

The software is easy to use, but we have had some of our employees who have difficulty using this on their phone. I am typically on a laptop and don't do this on my phone. I also don't like that too many employees can use the "stock" wording and not have to come up with a specific instance that they are rewarding fellow employees for. It also way to easy for employees to "swap" point without identifying a specific behavior that they are rewarding.
