I had the same experience — many platforms felt robotic and didn’t change anything in the team. What finally worked for us was Surwise, especially after exploring the features through their employee recognition application section. It focuses on meaningful recognition, peer-to-peer appreciation, and rewards that feel personalized rather than generic. After a few weeks, we noticed people were more motivated, communication improved, and achievements that were previously unnoticed became visible. What I really like is how easy it is to use — no long onboarding, no complicated setup. If you’re searching for a solution that genuinely impacts culture rather than just ticking a checkbox, I would strongly recommend giving Surwise a try. It made a noticeable difference for us.
