What do you like best about HALO?

Our rep and customer service partner are both great (Renee Stern and Emmy Panganiban) and very easy to work with. Any time we have a question or issue, they respond and resolve it quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HALO?

There have been a few issues with inventory this year (our of HALO's control) that have been frustrating for our team members. We had team members select a gift, but by the time it was 'pulled' from inventory it was out of stock, so they had to reselect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use HALO for our Service Award/Milestone gift recognition selection each year, 20+ year retirement gifts (engraved clock), 25-year 'magic box' gift for our 25-year milestone and a custom glass coaster for team members with 30+ years. We have used HALO for our annual team member appreciation gift in the past as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HALO?

Halo service awards are a great way to show appreciation for our employees and the option to buy up additional services as we grow is a nice benefit as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HALO?

The HALO system capabilities are limited when it comes to accepting eligibility and termination files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The benefit of HALO Recognition is that it allows us to celebrate various milestones for our employees. The automation of the awards is a benefit and requires minimal intervention which saves us time and provides peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about HALO?

They are organized and accurate. They respond quickly to inquiries and seek to help us make sure our employees are recognized for their accomplishments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HALO?

It would be nice to get a full refund instead of partial for unused rewards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HALO:

Its a decent service that helps track employee recognition so you don't have to worry about it nearly as much. The awards offered in the gift catalog are attractive and not cheap looking for the most part (based on years of service, the least years of service catalog offerings could be improved somewhat). They have been very helpful in making sure out employees are satisfied and receive their selections in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Tracking service anniversaries and awarding the employees at different intervals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We need to revamp our Employee Service Awards but have not had the time or resources internally to do so. I don't see currently much benefit to our current program other than historically we have had it for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about HALO?

The coordinators are now able to manage employees who receives and who does not receive a gift via the reporting portal (Halo Direct). Our account representatives are attentive and very thorough in answering our questions and following-up on previous requests in a timely fashion. They have made all of the requested changes to our gift ordering site without any issues. We never heard "We cannot accommodate that request." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HALO?

We had the same vendor for 18 years. What is there not to like. :-) This is the company's 2nd year with HALO and they have happily met our expectations. We are currently working out a few kinks (things that come up that you did not anticipate). We know that as each year passes, and we enhance the program, even more, it will be a program that employees constantly brag about because employees love celebrating milestones and this program formally recognizes all of their contributions to the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HALO:

Give HALO Recognition a try. They are willing to work with you to meet your company's needs while staying within your specified budget. Whether if it is for engagement or recognition, HALO will have what you need. We have an account representative who's response time is impeccable. Every time I email him, he responds within 15-minutes. If he is unsure of what is being asked, he will get clarification to make sure that he is responding to our needs and wants. KUDOS! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Gift selection has expanded; Quality of gifts have increased; Access to a web portal to easily track service anniversaries; the program is more relevant and employees feel better appreciated; streamlined gift delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HALO?

How knowledgeable the Halo Team is with our organization's programs and quick response to inquiries to help serve our employees. The regular circle of communication Halo promotes to ensure we are completely satisfied with the services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HALO?

Nothing, in fact I was able to provide direct feedback to our account manager to send praise for the awesome work the Halo team has and continuously offers Kinecta. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HALO:

I would recommend Halo because of their multi-faceted solutions for your organization's specific needs. Our organization has several rewards and recognition programs that we have entrusted Halo to help make those programs great. No matter what our needs have been Halo has found a solution. Their team will make you feel part of the family and not like they are trying to sell you something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Halo has offered multiple paperless platforms as a solution to our rewards and recognition programs. The solutions have relieved administrative burden and expedited the time an employee actually receives their award after the manager has submitted, making the experience relevant for the employee, vs. a few days after the fact. Most recently, we had to find a solution to no longer offering internal gift cards (we are a financial institution) that was causing us to physically go in to the store multiple times per week, mail out physical gift cards and submit expense reports as a result of multiple transactions. We spoke with our Halo team and they were able to offer an online platform to allow nominations, approvals and sending out awards to our employees to redeem their gift cards online to be mailed directly to their home. This streamlines our process and just in time before the pandemic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HALO?

Working with HALO they have really been flexible whenever we have had unique situations come up and have always been eager to assist us in figuring out next steps. With the recent pandemic they were able to pivot easily to make sure our employees received their awards no matter where they were working due to some of our typical options being closed. Great team to work with and great partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HALO?

No dislikes with the products. I think that the group continues to stay on top of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HALO:

I would strongly recommend HALO Recognition to all of my partners as I have felt that over the years they have always had our best interest at heart. They continue to be a great partner in helping us meet our organization goals with regards to recognition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have solved the problem of how to include our International team in the recognition process. HALO was able to offer a best in class option that really put us in a position to show our International partners that they are a part of the overall global team! We have realized the benefit of having one process for the whole globe which makes the process more efficient and allows us to focus our efforts in other areas.
