Rewarding Recognition, But Limited Ways to Earn Points

What do you like best about the product?

It's always a wonderful feeling to be recognized by a colleague on Nectar. The platform is very easy to use, and I enjoy checking it regularly to see what has been shared. I appreciate that all of the prizes are quite reasonable in terms of the number of points needed to earn them, especially compared to other programs I've tried where it feels almost impossible to accumulate enough points. It's great to have a way to show appreciation to colleagues that goes beyond just saying thank you!

What do you dislike about the product?

Wish there were more ways to earn points than just shoutouts.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nectar has helped bridge the gap of feeling unappreciated/disconnected that can sometimes come with remote business.

Great Rewards Variety, But Limited Use on Mobile Devices

What do you like best about the product?

I appreciate being able to use points instead of cash to pay for merchandise. While points essentially represent cash value, using them means my bank account balance remains unchanged when I make a selection on Nectar. I also enjoy the extensive range of rewards available, including gift cards, Amazon products, and discounts on hotels and car rentals. As Americans, we certainly value having plenty of choices! After finally choosing a reward, the checkout process is very fast and straightforward. I find myself browsing Nectar often—probably at least once a week—to check for new offerings. Another feature I like is that Nectar doesn't require me to enter a password every time I log in, and setting up my account was almost effortless since my employer had already taken care of most of it.

What do you dislike about the product?

When I use Nectar to browse rewards from Amazon, I find it frustrating that only a single image is shown for each product. Because of this limitation, I usually end up searching for the exact item directly on Amazon’s website before making a decision. My biggest issue with Nectar, however, is that the category dropdown lists for Amazon products often don’t function properly. Many times, after selecting a main category, I expect a more specific subcategory to appear, but the subcategory dropdown frequently fails to load. Additionally, browsing Amazon merchandise through Nectar on a mobile device is very restricted, so I generally avoid using my phone for this purpose whenever possible.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before I started using Nectar, recognition in our team was often overlooked or handled inconsistently. With Nectar, acknowledging others has become a simple and efficient process, making it much easier for everyone to feel valued and appreciated.

Uplifting Team Spirit with Shoutouts, Worth the Extra Effort

What do you like best about the product?

I love the use of the shoutouts to highlight when people do well and the positive atmosphere nectar creates for our team, and then how that translates to direct positive reinforcement of your choosing by redeeming points for things you want or even need!

What do you dislike about the product?

Taking the time to remember to go in and make shoutouts for others as it feels like one more thing to do, that said, I think it is definitely worth doing, and everyone at our company seems to really enjoy it!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has changed simple things in our company that result in huge gains. For example, points are given for being on time to meetings and appointments and since using Nectar, often times people are there before meetings 2-3 minutes and are chatting and engaging with one another. That is valuable team building to hear about co-workers personal lives and make connections outside of the work we do.

Great for Employee Recognition, But Needs More Regional Reward Options

What do you like best about the product?

I feel that Nectar is a great way to give back to employees and to give recognition for their accomplishments. Nectar is a useful resource to encourage work performance.

What do you dislike about the product?

If Nectar had a more region specific setup for gift cards, trips or hotels for those employed in said region, I feel the appeal would be much greater.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nectar shines a light on valued employees who may not be seen by everyone else in the company. Gives a sense of purpose to those who feel unrecognized. In turn enhances employee performance.

What do you dislike about the product?

There really isn’t anything I dislike about it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

When working with a large number of people, this is a great way to connect with those who handle the behind-the-scenes tasks.

What do you like best about the product?

I appreciate being rewarded with both money and recognition for the work I do or for completing challenges that are presented to me.

What do you dislike about the product?

I would prefer money directly deposited into my checking account or added to check. I forget to use the card or misplace it. Do not like that there is a limit to use funds.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

My only problem is that the funds expire, and I lose the money. I have not had success adding it to my wallet to use for purchase.

Great for Recognition, But Points System Needs Clarity

What do you like best about the product?

I appreciate that Nectar provides a way for employees to be acknowledged and recognized for their contributions. It’s great to have a platform that makes it easier for everyone to feel seen.

What do you dislike about the product?

One aspect of Nectar that leaves me a bit confused is their points system. I'm not entirely sure how we can earn points without being singled out or by completing certain tasks. The process isn't very clear to me.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

So far, I haven't encountered any issues.

Great Recognition Features, But Needs Submission Review Option

What do you like best about the product?

The ability to recognize and be recognized while also applying a monetary value to the shoutout is fantastic!

What do you dislike about the product?

I don't like that I can't review challenge submissions. I'd like to be able to review previous submissions to challenges.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Employee recognition, while also giving a monetary incentive to perform well. "Thank you" and "Great job" only go so far but with Nectar, we're able to reward positive behavior and performance.

Wellness Challenges and Rewards Make Nectar a Workplace Favorite

What do you like best about the product?

I like using Nectar because we have many challenges that are focused on wellness and physical fitness. During stressful times as a Dispatch Supervisor, having these wellness challenges helps to relieve that stress. Just getting in some extra steps or stretching at my desk awards points to my account so I can get some cool city swag. I love my 40oz hydroflask cups that help me achieve my water intake daily. The app makes it easy to use daily too.

What do you dislike about the product?

There's nothing that I really dislike about it. I think it is a great way for city employees to connect on a fun level and give points to each other back and forth.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nectar is helping to motivate employees and provide a focus on wellness and physical fitness. Rewarding employees with prizes when they hold themselves accountable is great motivation.

Great App, But Needs a Spanish Version for Inclusivity

What do you like best about the product?

I like the dynamics of the application and how it helps connect employees.

What do you dislike about the product?

I would like there to be a Spanish version of the app for colleagues who are not bilingual.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to communicate with people even if you don't see them very often is a great advantage of the app.

Nectar Helps Us Celebrate Team Accomplishments Effortlessly

What do you like best about the product?

Nectar can help the team keep track of their accomplishments as well as others.

What do you dislike about the product?

Only dislike I could think of is there could be more award options.

Great for Celebrations, But Limited Gift Card Options and Search

What do you like best about the product?

The ability to send shout outs, add points to celebrate someone's birthday or anniversary, and the variety of gift cards offered.

What do you dislike about the product?

Finding shout-outs can be challenging since there’s no option to search by a person’s name. Additionally, there aren’t any local stores available when it comes to purchasing gift cards. While I’m aware that Visa gift cards are offered, some of them come with fees and can only be used within the US. I had saved up points specifically for an overseas trip, but unfortunately, the Visa and Mastercard gift cards couldn’t be used outside the US. I also wish I could buy a gift card for my local grocery store to help with holiday expenses, but it isn’t available as an option.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Previously, we were able to purchase swag for our company, but that feature was discontinued because the product quality did not meet expectations. Since then, we have not seen this option return. I hope Nectar is working to bring it back so we can have access to it once more.

NECTAR REVIEW!

What do you like best about the product?

I like that there’s challenges to do solo or with a friend!

What do you dislike about the product?

Losing your points to give away at the end of the month

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It’s showcasing you and it lifts you up even with people you might not think notice you

Erin Elder
Director, Human Resources

The holidays are coming up and a lot of our staff members save their points and turn them in for gift cards — they use them for stocking stuffers for their family members. I thought that was really great.

Gretchen Houchin
VP of Business Development & Marketing

Someone would be doing themselves a disservice not to look into getting Nectar just for the simple fact that it's a way to build your staff up. It's a way to encourage each other. It's not just pictures and stickers.

Mary Haynes
CEO

We use the communication tool within Nectar even though we have two other solid communication systems. We've found that our folks really like getting communication on Nectar because they're on Nectar. It's easy for them to respond and to keep up.

Debbie Verified User
Receptionist

I use Nectar every day — every morning, every afternoon. I like to look up and see where people are recognizing each other. We're a big facility, but it's a really good tool to intertwine with people, you know.

Priyanka Verified User
Kitchen Staff

I feel really honored, to be honest. Sometimes I keep forgetting that I'm actually making a difference to someone. And then hearing a shout-out — someone telling me I did well — it just makes me feel happy.

Peggy Bell

When you are recognized in the Nectar app and you know that the CEO and everyone is seeing that — everybody sees what we do and what we don't do. It's one-on-one in the hallway, but in Nectar it's a big bunch of people all seeing it at once.
