Why Thanks
Employee Recognition
Thanks is a cloud based social recognition platform that helps you set up a fast, easy, and simple world-class recognition program without needing to be an expert. The Thanks recognition platform will help you empower employees to appreciate each other and produce great outcomes in the flow of their everyday work. Your organization will also benefit from working with our team of workplace culture professionals and research backed principles published by the O. C. Tanner Institute.
Social recognition platform
Letting others in the organization know about the great work a colleague has done boosts morale and improves camaraderie. Thanks lets you broadcast appreciation onto an organizational-wide social feed so that others can see and join in on the conversation too. Note: This is a secure, organization specific feed that only employees of the company can see.
Cloud based
Thanks is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. This essentially means that we host our technology platform on secure servers and make it available for access to you over the internet. So you do not have to setup anything on your computing infrastructure, your IT department does not have to spend time and resources managing Thanks, and the platform is accessible to your teams anywhere in the world, anytime, on any device.
Flow of everyday work
Like most companies, you probably have a set of popular work tools where people go to for the usual collaboration and information update — be it email, messaging or collaboration platforms. Thanks integrates with industry leading work-tools like Microsoft Outlook, Teams, and Workplace out of the box. Your employees can now appreciate colleagues from within the tools they spend most time on, instead of having to switch platforms.
Fast. Easy. Simple.
Thanks is amazingly simple to configure, deploy, and maintain. Our technology takes all the complexity out of managing workflow, tracking utilization, and updating dashboards so you can spend time on what really matters to you. The easy-to-use interface is intuitive and similar to most social platforms. Just give your employees access and watch the appreciations pour in. Let one of our workplace-culture professionals give you a tour of Thanks.
