What do you like best about Karma?

Most of our team works remotely, so Slack is our office. Karma bot helps us to share good momentum within the team and help others to visually praise it. It makes a positive and supportive culture even when we do not see others in person often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Karma?

Some people do not use Slack much, so there are some barriers to try to engage with those people. (This might not be relevant to Karma bot itself though) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Karma:

If your Slack is anther office for your team, you want to care about the culture there. Karma bot is one of the great tools to take care of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We want to praise others, but sometimes there are barriers to do so casually. Karma bot helps us to do it easily, and also having this kind of tool itself has a message to a team that we care about the culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Karma?

Karma helped implementing an open remote environment with positive feedbacks. It was really easy to implement with Slack and we leveraged on the automated gift card feature to incentivise team members who do a lot for our team and our progress. Nice stats, simple web console, not much to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Karma?

We are a portfolio of companies with a huge enterprise Slack workspace and while Karma handles this with ease, it would be nice to be able to enable/disable Karma for individual users to avoid paying for users we don't want to include in our program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Kiving kudos to our remote team members in a playful and translarent way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Working with Karmabot has drastically helped to improve recognition at Mission. We are a company that greatly values work-life balance so we support a remote workforce, whether that’s 100% remote or from time to time as needed.

One of the downsides of this flexibility is that we don’t always have the opportunity to provide recognition to each other face to face. Karmabot fills that gap by allowing team members to send each other recognition at any time of the day and from any location through Slack.

Not only has the frequency of recognition increased, but team members have reported an increase in happiness and connection after the implementation of this tool. Managers have also been provided with an opportunity to learn about helpful behavior among team members that they may not have otherwise heard about through the openness and transparency this tool provides.

Karmabot has also helped us to further embed our core values in our daily lives by being able to reference a core value in each piece of recognition. This tool’s flexibility and the company’s responsiveness and willingness to work with us to find solutions to our needs is something you don’t always experience.

It has been an absolutely positive experience working with Karmabot. If you are looking for a great way to help increase recognition and happiness within your organization with a company that is responsive and will proactively work with you to find solutions that fit your company’s needs I would recommend working with Karmabot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Karma?

No downsides. It's an easy to use tool that is flexible to adapt to our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Karma:

Give it a try. It's super fast to set up and integrate to Slack and employees love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Improved happiness, increased recognition, and further embedding of our core values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Karma?

We launched with Karma earlier this year after reviewing and piloting a few other recognition tools. Karma is an excellent employee recognition tool that hit the sweet spot of feature functionality, usability, and cost. I had used Karma at a previous company and always enjoyed the ease of use as an end-user. As we launched, it allowed us to quickly and publicly recognize our colleagues on our medium of choice (Slack). When we launched at my current company, I had the opportunity to work with the Karma team to make sure we were getting the most out of the tool. Most notably, we were able to map our company values into the tool. This added a new dimension to our recognition efforts which was more rewarding to the team and gave managers more insight into where their team members were showing up strong within the organization.

Adoption was seamless. We launched, and recognition via Karma spread pretty virally through our org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Karma?

The automated attribution of the values was sporadic. If we didn't include the right keywords, the value attribution missed fairly often. The value attribution requires a bit more tuning of the keywords over time to improve the success rate. Not terribly, but just feels "off" when it misses.

The other area I would love to see improvements is with user/group management. The team/group structure for driving access to Karma was a little unwieldy. My company is 6K employees, but only a small subset of that Slack user population needed access to Karma, so mapping to and maintaining that subset of users required a bit more care and feeding as we onboarded additional team members.

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

Improved Employee Engagement, Team Building, Unifying around company culture, cost-effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Karma?

Karma is simple to use and get set up. Our sales rep has been extremely helpful all along the way, so we have felt supported from the beginning. One initial concern we had with looking for this type of app was that it was going to take a lot to have to admin, but that has not been the case so far. The team's feedback and usage has been overwhelming as well, particularly since it easily intergrated into Slack, which is what we use for our primary communication channel across the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Karma?

Some reward types require a manual setup, if the gift card reward we want to offer is not part of the initial catalog. It isn't a dealbreaker at all, but does add a touch of time to the initial setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Karma:

We implement thru the use of Slack as our chat method of communication for the team. Having this integrated makes it simple for the team to use, which has ensured that the team utilizes regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We wanted a more transparent way for our teams to acknowledge when someone helps out an individual directly. In a group environment, it's nice to get a "thank you" after assisting with a task, or going out of one's way to help resolve an issue. However, we wanted to tie it to something more tangible for those that the team feels is excelling. I love that we can make feedback have a financial value for the team member as well. A pat on the back is great, but getting something additional in one's pocket as well is even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Karma?

Our team loves KarmaBot. We launched in January of 2020, just a few months before the pandemic hit and we went fully remote. Karma played a significant role in keeping us connected. I love browsing the Karma channel to see what's going on, and it's always especially fun to see the inter-department praise.

Even more so than receiving Karma, I think individuals love being able to acknowledge their peers in a fun and meaningful way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Karma?

None so far! We have seamlessly integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As I mentioned, we implemented Karma prior to the pandemic and resulting shut downs. The original objective was to foster peer engagement and recognition. Not only have we answered this with Karma, it has really served to help keep the team connected while we are remote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
