Description

HeyTaco is a fun peer recognition platform that builds happier teams by inspiring positive communication. With gamification mechanisms like leaderboards and achievement levels, HeyTaco makes recognizing teammates rewarding. By using tacos as a currency, the silliness and less seriousness lead to higher engagement and more genuine recognition. When people feel appreciated in the workplace, it boosts morale and helps improve retention rates. People who feel appreciated are generally happier, more productive, and ultimately better for business.

What do you like best about HeyTaco?

When we implemented HeyTaco we had no idea that it was going to be such a huge piece of our R&R program. From Day 1, our Team has enbraced having virtual tacos (big for us Texas folks) to share as we recognize others for their efforts. As we have brough on new Teams (both organically and inorganically), they quickly start throwing out tacos to others. It's been a great program for us and has only accelerated in speed and volume since we started using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

Honestly, I have not found anything about the program that does not work well for us. We are so happy with it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our R&R program consists of: Peer to Peer Recognition, People Leader Recognition and Leadership Recogition. HeyTaco is one of our Peer to Peer programs. We feel that having a means for our Teams to provide recogition for others is critical to the success of our R&R program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HeyTaco?

I've seen Slack channels used for giving kudos to others at the previous 2 companies I worked at. It always took some effort transferring the culture and intent to new people. Having an app that formalizes the process and guides users toward affirming the right behavior in others and strengthens the team in the process is dynamite 🧨 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

I recently ran into a situation where I wasn't sure why a taco wasn't being awarded, it was because the person was not in the private slack channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

To get more people to participate in recognizing others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HeyTaco?

Sending a taco is such an easy way to show appreciation for a colleague - it's just an emoji and an @. But somehow the addition of the taco makes the appreciation feel more sincere than just a 'Thanks'. It's a way to spread tiny moments of positivity throughout the workday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

I would kind of like to be able to 'earn' more tacos a day to give out than 5. We earn stickers, but I recently discovered that colleagues had been earning different stickers than me, even though I'm the second highest taco user in my team! Giving more tacos unlocks an 'avatar' but this doesn't do anything - I feel like I should be able to give more tacos than 5 a day, it would encourage greater useage for people to feel like they are unlocking something meaningful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Showing appreciation to colleagues in a cute, fun way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
