## Reviews

### "Employees love the UX" — 5.0/5

> **Melinda** | *September 25, 2019* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Ease of use&#10;- Fun and engaging user interface&#10;- Frequent updates and enhancements&#10;- Timely support when needed
> 
> **Cons**: - Unable to see used spend versus pending spend in budget without having to download report&#10;- Names pop-up based on surnames instead of first names
> 
> We wanted a fun and user-friendly platform that would encourage employees to interact with management and their peers. This software was the perfect fit for our size company and required very little time and effort to get everyone set up and trained.

### "Great way to boost morale" — 5.0/5

> **Cynthia** | *March 17, 2021* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that employees can send each other acknowledgements, but also that management can send perks out to employees.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish there was more interaction on the website. I think adding emojis, memes or gifs would make it more interesting.
> 
> My overall experience is good with workstars. I enjoy the perks and sending/receiving acknowledgments.

### "Bring your team and company together with Workstars" — 5.0/5

> **shaun** | *March 25, 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As a team manager in a fully connected world, how can you operate not knowing who in your team is doing well and who is not? The insight and emotional support this tool can give to people should not be underestimated.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like more insight on the stats, timeline on when this is being done, is it reactionary or being performed every friday at 9am.  There is more underlying value the product could give to help insight to employees and assist managers over time (across teams, regions and other like companies)... help us retain staff etc\! :)
> 
> SSO fails almost everytime I go to access from a browser bookmark, a simple refresh does resolve the issue - but nicer to make it seemless ...

### "Amazing service" — 5.0/5

> **Zoe** | *September 16, 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Workstars is so user friendly, it was very easy to implement and the level of service we receieved was exceptional.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of it needs to be a bit more customisable, e.g. the ability to search by first and last name

### "The Workstars product was the perfect choice to meet our recognition and engagement needs." — 5.0/5

> **Samantha** | *February 7, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The technology is user friendly, fun to navigate and easy to adopt.  Our employees have commented that it has been fun and has not added any extra work to their day.  As a leader, the program has wonderful analytics and reporting capability that allows me both a bird's eye view and necessary details to measure the successes and tell the story of our recognition and engagement needs.   The team at Workstars has been committed to our success since day one.  Their commitment and customer service has been extraordinary\!  I highly recommend Workstars.
