It’s not just a "thank you" - it feels special because I can actually send my friends at work points they can save up. Whether it’s for a quick coffee or an Amazon voucher, it’s a great way to make someone feel truly valued and rewarded for their help. > > **Cons**: I haven’t had any bad experiences so far. It’s been a very smooth and easy tool to use, and I really can't think of anything I'd change. > > I’ve had such a positive experience with Nectar over the last 8 months. Honestly, I haven’t had a single bad experience and definitely plan to keep using it. My company gives us 50 points a month ($5) specifically to shout out and reward our friends at work. It’s created this really great culture where everyone is constantly looking for ways to support and appreciate each other. ----- ### "Innovative way to recognise and reward employees." — 5.0/5 > **Jessica** | *15 October 2024* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love its unique feature of allowing employees to award points to peers or managers for good performance. Points are then redeemed by way of gift cards, charity donations etc. > > **Cons**: It has more strengths than weaknesses. It’s just that rewards may take time to accumulate points for high-value items. > > The he fact that it allows peer to peer recognition to play a big role in recognising employee performance is so innovative. ----- ### "Nectar Review" — 5.0/5 > **Sherita** | *4 May 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being able to be specific about feedback and use gifs/emojis to make it more personal. I also like being about to decide how many points to send. > > **Cons**: I do not not like it, but I do not think that it is necessary to see who is getting points and how many/who sent them. > > Overall I really enjoy the program and I think it is good to have something like this, especially with being virtual. ----- ### "Sweet Nectar" — 5.0/5 > **Mandy** | *29 April 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciated how easy Nectar makes it to recognize colleagues in real time. The peer-to-peer aspect encourages a positive and supportive work environment, allowing team members to celebrate each other’s efforts and accomplishments. It’s also motivating to receive recognition in a tangible way, and the points system adds an extra layer of appreciation that helps boost morale and engagement across the team. > > **Cons**: One drawback of Nectar is that recognition can feel inconsistent depending on how actively individuals or teams use the platform. When participation is low, it may not fully reflect the contributions of all employees, which can make the system feel uneven at times. In addition, while the points-based rewards are a nice concept, the actual value or variety of rewards may not always feel meaningful or motivating enough for some staff members. This can reduce long-term engagement with the system. > > Nectar is an employee recognition and rewards platform used to promote a positive workplace culture. Team members can give and receive points to acknowledge contributions, collaboration, and achievements. The system encourages peer-to-peer recognition, which helps boost morale and reinforces a culture of appreciation. When used consistently, Nectar can strengthen team engagement and highlight staff efforts that might otherwise go unnoticed. Its effectiveness largely depends on active participation and meaningful use of the platform, but overall, it is a valuable tool for fostering connection and recognition among employees. ----- ### "Beneficial, but has its drawbacks" — 3.0/5 > **Ashley** | *23 June 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the monthly email reminders when my Nectar points are replenished get added to my account so that I know when I have more points to send out to other people. > > **Cons**: I do not like how money is removed from my typical paycheck to cover "taxes" and does not save my login such that I have to re-verify my computer every time I attempt to login. Additionally, the options I have to choose from are things I would not normally choose to buy. Thus, I do not like to spend money from my paycheck to cover taxes. > > I have had an average experience with Nectar. ----- Page: 1 / 34\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/186557/perknow?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/186557/perknow) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
