Quality Survey Platform with an Exceptional Support Team

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: My experience has been, overall, very positive so far. We've only been partnered with WorkTango for a few months, but the team has been absolute rock stars in supporting our strategy during COVID19 and we look forward to seeing the platform continue to evolve and grow.

Pros:

We've been live with WorkTango for just a couple of months. We launched at a weird time- we were planning to go with a full engagement survey in several months, but due to COVID19 we were forced to launch a pulse survey much sooner. That means our strategy was shifting from the very beginning. The customer success team has gone above and beyond to help with this work. The implementation of the software was smooth, and the platform seems flexible enough to support anything we could ask for right now. Really excited to see the newest upgrades to the system!

Cons:

The biggest areas of opportunity are in areas that WorkTango is already solving for with their new updates, and will no longer be an issue by the time we launch. Specifically I am most looking forward to having the ability to combine demographics for reporting, more intuitive hierarchy building and editing, and an even better user experience on the platform.

Very User Friendly

4.0 last year

Comments: Overall, I enjoy utilizing WorkTango. Staff seem to appreciate that it's very user-friendly. We utilize this with managers as well as state agencies that look to see feedback with staff, and it makes things very simple to show with data.

Pros:

I love how user-friendly this program is! Nearly all of our staff are able to access it without assistance. On occasion, the app does crash, but it is usually resolved by signing back into the app.

Cons:

No real complaints. There are a lot of notifications, but that is just part of it.

Decent experience with a good range of features

3.0 7 years ago

Pros:

It is nice to have a performance management and a rewards and recognition system all in one platform. The Outlook plugin is nice too.

Cons:

It would be nice to have some additional export functionality and some more flexibility. It is a pretty modern platform but still pretty narrowly focused into their way of doing things.

Pros:

The integration into our Microsoft Teams exisitng "Kudos" channel.

Cons:

The value of 1 point being 1 penny. I suggest increasing the points value.

Work Tango makes employee recognition meaningful and easy!

5.0 12 months ago

Comments: Work Tango provides an employee recognition system that is supported by theories of behavior reinforcement and modification, so it is sound. The tool allows us to easily recognize one another's milestones and performance in ways that can be shared across our teams. And the points earned can be redeemed in ways that are customized to each individual.

Pros:

The Work Tango platform really provides an easy way for supervisors and staff peers to recognize performance, milestones and more. Very easy. And the points then are able to be used is a personally-tailored way by the employee.

Cons:

Work Tango is not inexpensive, so we have had to be thoughtful in our participation. But we feel the value has proven to surpass the expense.

Love using WorkTango

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: We were looking for a platform that with more features than our previous which only had surveys. Our employees love recognizing their peers and being able to "give" and earn points. Its great that they can redeem for items that are meaningful to them.

Pros:

WorkTango is fun and easy to use and keeps employees engaged. The implementation was easy with lots of training sessions provided. Our rep, Brandon, is great as well.

Cons:

I would like to see more customizable functionality within the Goal feature. The reporting could use some work.

Worktango equals value!

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I think being able to show recognition by offering employees more than just a simple star sticker or laminated A4 paper with "Hardest working employee" printed on it. It gives employees the chance to have their efforts seen but then also felt through rewards that can be used not only for spoils but also every day needs, which I am grateful for.

Pros:

It allows for recognition to be more than just mere words and follows that up with action and value gain. I appreciate our company making use of this software.

Cons:

The only thing I can think of is perhaps more ways to show recognition (whether that be more options than just points to send or more gift cards/rewards to choose from).

The part about Kazoo

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: The website is easy to use, similar to facebook but allows a much more professional look & utilization.

Pros:

The recognition our employees get to see and feel in real time. The ability to have a place to express gratitude for hard work and daily dedication. The website is easy to use, similar to facebook but allows a much more professional look & utilization.

Cons:

We aren't allowed to see too much in the past, much of the recognition after a while become archived.
