"Real Lifesaver for Frontline Engagement"

5/5

What do you like best about goHappy?

I love the ease of use of goHappy and the fact that our employees don't have to sign in to anything. It's fed from our payroll system, and it updates every day, which I find really convenient. I also like that people can opt out if they choose to. I really love the smart reply feature, which is a two-way text that, even with some limitations, it has been a game changer for us. Also, the fact that you can set automatic text triggers, add images/emojis/attachments. I also love the keyword menu which sort of acts like a bit of a company intranet. We're also saving the company money by the increase in responses for our call to action texts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about goHappy?

Nothing. Our CSM, Nick, and the whole team is exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Feedback with Excellent Support"

5/5

What do you like best about goHappy?

I appreciate that goHappy communicates with our team in a way that makes sense for them, so they don't have to log into anything. It's seamless and usable without any hassle. This has dramatically increased the amount of feedback we receive and can act on. I also value how goHappy provides our leaders with actionable data to improve their leadership actions, which results in a better experience for our employees, stronger engagement, and ultimately lower turnover. The auto-firing of messages and surveys without human intervention allows us to gather feedback at relevant times throughout a team member's lifecycle. The ease of the initial setup was impressive as they were very clear about what needed to be done and ready each step of the way. Their customer service is top-notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about goHappy?

I wish there was a better tie in with our HRIS system to keep a record of the kind of feedback that employees share over time. That way it's easier for us to see how they've rated us over time and if they ever presented any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Game-Changer for Frontline Communication, But Needs Better Team Visibility"

5/5

What do you like best about goHappy?

Having the capability to reach our team members who do not have access to a company email account has been a complete game-changer for our engagement. goHappy has significantly improved the way we communicate with our frontline workforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about goHappy?

We have 2-3 goHappy users at each of our manufacturing locations, and while our Admins can see the messages each user is sending, the users at each plant cannot see what their team is sending. We think it would improve the way our plant goHappy teams work together if they could see the messages each of them are sending to (1) avoid sending duplicate texts and (2) reference what they have all sent in the past to keep a consistent voice/tone regardless of who is sending the texts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is goHappy solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main reason that we implemented goHappy was to close the gap in communication/engagement between our salaried and hourly workforce. Historically we had not had a way to communicate directly with frontline workers because they do not have a company email address, so we were heavily relying on plant managers and local HR teams to cascade important information and company news to their hourly teams. Now that we have access to goHappy, we have been able to engage, protect, and celebrate our frontline employees more efficiently and most importantly, more directly.

Thanks so much for sharing this thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that goHappy has been a game-changer in helping you close the communication gap with your frontline team — that’s exactly why we built it 🙌.

We also really appreciate your note about visibility for multi-user teams. That’s great input, and we’re actively exploring ways to make collaboration even easier for teams like yours across different locations.

We’re so grateful for the partnership and love seeing how you’re using goHappy to engage, protect, and celebrate your frontline employees every day.

"A powerhouse for communication, engagement, recognition & insights!"

5/5

What do you like best about goHappy?

Our goHappy partnership has been richly rewarding over the last 3+ years. The benefits of goHappy include: the constant connection and immediacy in delivering important information to all employees; the early engagement surveys and exit interviews along with insights; the continued evolution of the product to achieve higher levels of customer satisfaction and utilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about goHappy?

The only downside with goHappy is that is a 1-way communication vehicle and doesn't receive or handle inbound messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is goHappy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before goHappy, we didn't have the ability to connect, and communicate, with all company employees. The onset of the pandemic made this clear and identified the need for a solution. Today, we have the connection point and can reach all employees or targeted employee populations with a message, update or information immediately.

We've also been able to implement a series of automated early engagement survey as well as automated exit survey. These early-employment and post-employment insights allow us to better understand the employee experience and take action where needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s especially rewarding to know that these tools are helping you better understand the employee experience and take timely action where it’s needed most. We’re grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us and excited to keep evolving so we can deliver even greater impact for you and your team.

Here’s to many more years of connection, engagement, and insight!

"You need goHappy!!"

5/5

What do you like best about goHappy?

Very easy to use and is a great way for us to communicate with ALL of our frontline employees. Not just the store manager via an email. Our frontline employees actually get our messaging now. There is now even an intranet we are housing important documents that all employees have access to. We are also utilizing new hire surveys at their 30, 60, and 90 day marks as well as annual engagement surveys. We have been able to improve our operations due to the results of these surveys. When we customer support, it very easy to get the help we need. The system itself is very easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about goHappy?

I have not seen any down sides to goHappy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Targeted Communication Made Simple"

5/5

What do you like best about goHappy?

Extremely easy tool to use with easy implementation. We love the ability to do targeted communication to targeted groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about goHappy?

Wish it had two-way communication capability. Understand that is coming soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is goHappy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before we implemented Go Happy, we had no formal way to directly communicate with our front-line workers, especially with a consistent message. This tool has benefitted us in the area of communication, culture evolution, and driving engagement within the company. We have seen incredible results in our engagement survey scores and in the reduction of turnover. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jason Deitz of goHappy

Thanks so much, Sandy! We appreciate you taking the time to share this and for partnering with goHappy.

We’re glad to hear the rollout was easy and that targeted messaging has helped you consistently reach the right frontline groups. Seeing positive movement in engagement, culture, and turnover is exactly why we do this work.

And you’re right on two-way messaging — it’s coming very soon, and we’re excited about what it will unlock for teams like yours 😊

"Great System & Amazing Company To Work With"

5/5

What do you like best about goHappy?

goHappy has allowed us to easily and quickly communicate important updates to our family members and team members during crises. We have had hurricanes hit our communities, and we have been able to send out updates multiple times a day to all of our family members regarding the state of the community and their loved ones. goHappy has greatly improved communication with families and team members on not just crises of everyday items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about goHappy?

I don't really see a downside. I want more enhancements so that I can continue to leverage the system for surveys. goHappy is very open to my feedback is working on those enhancements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is goHappy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Is has helped to solve the break down in communication. For example, once we had goHappy and it was open enrollment for benefits, our corporate team sent out text messages via goHappy to alert all team members about benefit enrollment deadlines and meetings that they could join to learn about benefits. Due to this communication tool, we didn't have to rely on the Executive Directors to give this information out to their team members. Year over year our benefit enrollment went up 50% due to the use of goHappy. We are also using it for new hire surveys to work on making our new hire experience better. We will be expaning our use of the surveys and am looking forward to exploring the employee intranet and recognition program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hilary, thank you for sharing such a powerful example of goHappy in action. We’re so glad it’s helped you communicate quickly during crises, keep families and team members informed, and even boost benefit enrollment by 50%. We love hearing how you’re expanding your use to surveys and recognition — and we’re excited to keep supporting your goals! 🌟
