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

There have been no problems on Halo side only our Benefit Administrator does not send over all employees correctly so I have to send our representative these one offs and sometimes as many as 25 to put in manually. They handle all service awards from letter to product to mailings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for taking the time to update your review, Dawn! We’re so glad to hear you’re receiving helpful, friendly support from our team. I have some good news regarding the brochures. We have switched from printed brochures to a one pager that guides employees directly to our online gift catalog where they can always see the most up-to-date assortment for ordering. We’re finding this helps avoid disappointment over gift item changes and creates a better experience for employees. I hope this change is helpful for your recognition program!

"A good solution for service awards"

4/5

What do you like best about HALO?

My rep, Roger, does a great job of helping with any questions that I have and is always responsive when I reach out to him. There are a good number of prizes at each level that cover a variety of interests Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HALO?

I wish that HALO would bring back the paper catalogs that used to come with service awards. When someone is at 30 or 40 years of service the last thing they want to do is get a piece of paper telling them they need to go online to view and choose a prize. I would also remove the trigger which sends a gift to people who haven't responded. Generally, the lack of response is because the employee is no longer with the company and not eligible for a prize.

"HALO is one of the top contenders"

4.5/5

What do you like best about HALO?

The best things about HALO are that they provide excellent customer service, they are swift to answer any questions or concerns, and the fact that anyone can replace a broken gift or a gift that never showed up all at no extra cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HALO?

What I dislike about HALO is that some gifts are a little expensive. However, HALO has given solutions such as taking out the pricier offerings to employees for the company to save more money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

HALO has made our employees feel more appreciated at work; many employees (especially those that have been with us for 10+ years) are excited that they are finally getting recognized for their time with the company. They were happy with the awards but ecstatic when they also found that they got a free gift along with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
