Enhanced employee engagement through service award program upgrade. Employees really like the new program, feel recognized. HALO is able to customize what we want and what works for our employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HALO?

What I like best about HALO is how nice it is to have service awards for our employees be automated and done for us. The representative that helps us is also wonderful. She is quick to respond, knowledgeable, and very helpful! And nice, which always helps :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HALO?

The only issue I have run into is when the HALO system tells me someone is not in the system but I do the complete set up of adding them and then the HALO system tells me they already exist. But; we have our representative and I am able to contact her and she figures it out somehow! This only happens about 3 out of 10 times though so it's not too much of an issue, just slightly time consuming every once in a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The benefit of having it all at our finger tips and easy to use is worth it! It is so nice to not have to put much thought into this process and yet our employees get recognized in a timely manner as they should.

Also, having a representative we can contact at any time is fantastic. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HALO?

The ease of sending Kudos and e-cards to employees. It is easy to recognize our employees. They also provide our employees with the single sign on ability, so they can easily recognize any of their fellow co-workers with a click of a few buttons. The HALO team responds to requests within 48 hours and their team members spread across the world and very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HALO?

The software is not user-friendly for many reasons, it is very slow, there are major lags whenever a report is pulled, there is no main dashboard for administrators to view their team, new team members are manually added in every month which is a major delay, and there is no easy way to view nominations and their comments. When we want to send a mass kudos to celebrate all of our employees, it takes the HALO team a few weeks to get this out. This long delay limits are ability to use the mass kudos feature because a lot of things happen in the now. Overall, the system is very slow and there is no easy way to see the amount of kudos/points a team member has or a way to assign them a pin to congratulate them. The main issue for us is the software, the customer service is very friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HALO:

Consider how large your organization is. If the organization is large, then HALO may not be for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We solve the ability to recognize employees in a few clicks. Our system is set-up to make it easy for team members to send a friendly kudos to each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lizzie Bell of HALO

Hi Tegen, Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. It’s wonderful to hear your employees find it easy to recognize each other on the platform. It’s our hope to provide a great experience for everyone in the program from employees to administrators. I’m sorry for the challenges you’ve experienced, we’ve already taken steps to address the reporting issues and turn-around times for your specialized program. We’ll be reaching out to you to discuss in more detail.

What do you like best about HALO?

Everyone with MCFina has always been quick with their responses, and very friendly! First, they send out email reminders so there is no way I would forget to give them employee information on time. I just have to submit a quarterly listing of all employees who are to receive a magic box, and MC Fina does the rest. Employees also like that they can pick out their own gifts on their own time. It's easy for them to use and they have a nice variety of choices for them to choose from! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HALO?

I don't have any downsides, it's a great program! However sometimes the managers want to see a full length catalog and a list of all the prices associated with each gift. I know there is one online they can browse, but it doesn't tell me the price range for each set of gifts that we offer. For example, the 5 year anniversary gifts should have a price range, and we can't easily tell what that is. It would be nice to have a full list of the price ranges and then have the gifts listed. Sometimes managers want to be sure someone receives their full money's worth, and I think that would be very helpful. I think it would be nice to have online administrator access in some capacity also. That way if someone terminates or resigns, I can quickly go in and update the record online rather than relying on remembering on my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HALO:

I would really recommend adding Halo. They take on all of the administrative tasks and employees love being able to choose their own gifts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having a selection of items to choose from really eliminates an administrative burden off of us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
