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

Nectar has been such a great addition to my workplace. It provides a tangible reward to recognition which is great! It has been meaningful for both myself and for the folks I have sent Nectar points to.

I love that I can recognize staff across the organization (it's not just for my direct reports) . This has been a great tool to send a "thank you" to others who collaborate with me or with my teams.

I am REALLY glad there is an option for a PTO - that is always the most desired reward for employees!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

I do like the "History" view option to see who you've sent points to, but I do wish you could see that in more of a report format vs. having to scroll through all of the history. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I appreciate that Nectar provides a monthly allocation and that I can see my history to ensure I am distrubting recognition equitably.

Nectar has provided a tangible way to recognize my staff and my downline (as well as folks across the organization).

Nectar has increased engagement because staff feel rewarded for going above and beyond -- it gives that tangible form of recognition rather than just a shout out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nectar?

I like that it is a fun and super easy way to share your respect and appreciation with your colleagues. In previous jobs, I would have to fill out an online form, and at some point in the future, the person I wanted to recognize might get a certificate with the message from their supervisor. With Nectar, implementing immediate appreciation has been much easier. I also like that we can be awarded for time with our company, and completing training videos. With the monthly allowance of points, I also find myself sharing the love much more often and recognizing my coworkers more often than in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

I don't have any immediate complaints with the platform, but I have just started using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Recognizing coworkers for their efforts every day, and sharing how much them and their work impacts the company makes me feel more connected. With the engagement part, getting points for completing your training videos is awesome, and seems to incentivise completing them earlier rather than later, you see all of your collegues getting points and it reminds you to do yours too.

What do you like best about Nectar?

I've been using Nectar for a few months now and love it! It’s a great way to recognize my coworkers for their support and collaboration by giving them points. I also really enjoy participating in the Challenges. Recently, I shared a job posting on social media and earned 20 reward points, which was such a fun and easy way to earn more!

What I appreciate most about Nectar is how versatile the rewards are. I can redeem my points for gift cards, company swag, or even bigger items like smartwatches and earbuds! It’s motivating to see how the program keeps us engaged while offering meaningful ways to earn and redeem rewards.

Nectar has made recognition more interactive and enjoyable, and I’m excited to see what other challenges and rewards are offered in the future! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

It is easy to forget about rewarding colleagues or even checking the challenges. The email reminders from Nectar help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am not sure of the problem that my workplace is trying to solve, but I do think Nectar helps employees engage with each other across different locations. It is easy to recognize other staff members even if they don't work in your same space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nectar?

Nectar is a neat way to recognize coworkers with 'points' that you can redeem for cool items such as gift cards at cool places such as Ebay, Amazon, & restaurants! Each of us has a co-workers who takes time out of their busy day to help us...and Nectar gives you the opportunity to send points to that individual that they can redeem for something they enjoy! It's a quick way to say "THANK YOU" to a co-worker & letting them know you appreciated their assistance!! It's super easy to use and for those individuals who aren't 'tech savvy' it walks you through the process! It posts a 'shout out' for everyone in my company to see so anyone can see the individual recognized and what they were recognized for. I'm glad my company uses Nectar!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

I've yet to find something I don't like about Nectar! Just being totally honest!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Necar allows me to recognize a team worker who has shown a core value and assisted me with an issue I was needing assistance with. In today's hectic busy business world its nice to be able to say thanks to someone who takes time out of their busy day and allows me the ability to reward that person with points they can use for something they enjoy!!

What do you like best about Nectar?

What I like best about Nectar HR is how easy it makes recognizing and rewarding my coworkers. It's super simple to send shout-outs or rewards, and it really helps boost morale around the office. I also love how customizable the rewards are—whether it’s a gift card or an experience, it always feels like something personal. It’s a great way to make people feel appreciated, and it definitely helps create a more positive work culture. Overall, it’s a really great tool for keeping everyone motivated and engaged! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

Honestly, I haven’t found anything I dislike about Nectar HR yet. It’s been super easy to use, and everything works exactly how I expect it to. The rewards are great, the interface is intuitive, and it’s made recognizing my teammates really simple. I’ve been really happy with it so far! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Nectar solves the problem of making employee recognition easy and consistent. It lets us quickly reward and appreciate each other, which helps keep morale high. For me, it’s been great because it makes showing appreciation feel natural and not just something that happens during reviews. It’s a simple way to keep everyone feeling valued every day.

What do you like best about Nectar?

Nectar is a great platform to help drive the positive message our teams need to feel. The style and use of the platform makes it easy to recognize anyone for their hardwork and make sure the rest of the company sees it! Not one time have I recognized someone on Nectar and NOT gotten a happy reaction! I've personally witnessed shoutouts completely change the mood of the day. When people do well, they deserve the recognition and Nectar makes it easy to do that in a fun way! It's so easy to integrate it into your daily process and if you have a bad memory, automated reminders help us stay on top of it too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

No complaints so far! I haven't run into any issues other than some login problems but customer service fixed it so quick I didn't really lose any time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Nectar is a great tool that aids us in establishing a positive, performance driven culture that lifts up it's employees for a job well done. It boosts moral and gives the employees further incentive to do well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nectar?

I enjoy using Nectar to give shoutouts to coworkers. I like to be able to use emojis and the gifs. I love the breadth of the gifs available. I especially love that many of the gifs are a little but unhinged. This allows users to really show their personality. It is so easy to use. There is never any confusion as to how many points I have to give. I like that the email notifications are not too frequent. I love being able to use it within Teams and that I don't have to go anywhere else to give a quick shoutout. I love that the notifications are customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

I am not always able to use all of the emojis. I am not sure if this is because I use the Nectar app within MS Teams. It may be my organization settings; I'm not sure. Otherwise I don't have any complaints. I use it to give shoutouts, and I can do that effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I think HR wanted things in one place (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries). But really we use it for shoutouts. It is a great platform for giving shoutouts. And bonuses! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nectar?

I love being able to see what is going on in the company and see others accomplishments. I enjoy participating in challenges and be able to connect with my colleagues that way. I check Nectar most, if not every day, and I try to be as involved as possible. Using Nectar has made me feel more connected to others in the company and it makes getting recognized even more rewarding that receiving it in a one-on-one conversation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

The GIFs are sometimes quite limited so there is some room for improvement. Here and there, I have also seen some performance issues accessing the website. However, the issues have been resolved within a few minutes to an half an hour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being a remote employee, it is difficult to feel connected. Nectar helps me feel more connected to my colleagues by having a better understanding of what is going on in the company, seeing colleagues' accomplishments/birthdays/work anniversaries, and be engaged with colleagues virtually through shout outs and challenges.

What do you like best about Nectar?

I love being able to acknowledge my co-workers when they do something slightly above and beyond that they normally wouldn't be openly acknowledged for. Showing appreciation to collegues for work well done increases productivity and overall morale and atmosphere in the work environment. It is very easy to use and straightforward. It's available to use any time as long as you have points left to give. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

It isn't utilized to it's fullest potential by the members of the company. Points go unused each month, and it's almost always the same people sending Nectar shoutouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am newer to this company, but had used Nectar at my previous company. It was very easy to get right back into utilizing the program to acknowledge new co-workers and show my positive, uplifting approach in how I communicate. Those that feel appreciated or seen tend to want to work with me more, and know I see the importance of their work and impact in the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nectar?

Customizable features for challenges to enable behaviors outside of recognition.

Can be driven for manager recognition as well as peer recognition.

Receiving recognition.

Customer support is very responsive and takes a lot of burden from the admin to manage issues.

The end of month reminders are helpful - use spikes at month end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

Lack of communication about order placed on Amazon. A confirmation email would be nice right away.

I would like a column of employee full name in the financial report so I didn't have to manually do that for the report I need to generate for our accounting.

It isn't integrated into any of our other systems. Would be nice to have an app on Teams.

That I can't search or filter on the shoutouts - if my coworker asks me if I saw the shoutout about a topic but doesn't remember who posted it is impossible to find. An overall search on shoutouts would be beneficial. Not just a filter on department, location etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allows peers to give recognition - previously managers held the budget for recognition at their discretion. This allows more recognition to be given and received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nectar?

What I like most about Nectar is how easy it is to use. The platform makes it simple to recognize teammates and coworkers for their contributions, which helps create a positive and supportive work environment. I also love that it provides tangible rewards, giving recognition more value and making it even more meaningful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

If I had to mention a downside, it would be the inability for individual contributors to make their recognitions private. As a manager, I have the ability to make awards or comments private, but it would be a great feature to extend this option to all employees. It would provide more flexibility for those who prefer to give recognition discreetly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Nectar is solving the challenge of creating a consistent and easy way to recognize and reward employees across the organization. The platform helps me stay consistent with delivering praise and recognition through its helpful reminders and 'use it or lose it' balances. It ensures that I’m regularly acknowledging contributions, which fosters a positive and motivated team environment. Overall, it’s made recognition a seamless and integral part of our workplace culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
