What is Guusto?

Guusto empowers HR professionals to develop recognition initiatives aimed at enhancing retention among frontline employees.

In contrast to typical recognition services that mandate preloading and payment for all staff members, Guusto offers a complimentary single-user account that allows rewards to be sent to anyone.

Recipients have the flexibility to select their rewards from a vast array of global merchants.

The platform also provides various redemption formats, including web access, mobile applications, TV displays, and print options, ensuring that even deskless workers can participate.

Furthermore, Guusto operates without markups and contributes to social good by donating one day of clean water for every gift dispatched, thereby fostering a positive impact on communities.

This unique approach not only enhances employee engagement but also promotes corporate social responsibility simultaneously.

    I love that you can be able to get you money in gift cards like Amazon, which I use Amazon a lot. It’s fast as it’s links straight to your Amazon account and available to use right away.

    Negative

    A positive experience

    Date: Feb 08 2022
    Summary

    I love how easy Guusto was to use. You simply create an account, find the gift card you'd like to purchase, and then redeem your funds to instantly receive said gift card via email. The process was simple and straightforward.

    Positive

    Of all the methods around giving prizes that we've experimented with since the pandemic, Guusto has the best UI, the quickest and easiest delivery, and has an amazing list of merchants so the prize is relevant for any recipient. Customer support has also been very helpful.

    Negative

    I haven't had any bad experiences with Guusto so far. It would be nice to see some more merchants added,

    Guusto is fantastic!

    Date: Dec 06 2022
    Summary

    I am fully satisfied with this product. Features are easily accessible, the design is excellent, the appearance is appealing, support is good I recommend this to my friends and the public. If you are a person who wants to avoid the hustle of going to the stores, I suggest you go for it.

    Positive

    I find Guusto very easy to aces and navigate. I was able to access all its features in no time and was able to redeem the gift card which my company sent me as a token of appreciation. I also find it fascinating as I can send my friends gift cards online. Guusto has many vendors as its partners which makes it easy to make a choice.

    Negative

    The time to redeem the gift cards should be removed. Some more vendors to send gift cards to children should be added. The maximum and minimum amount of money to be redeemed from a particular vendor should be removed.

    The best option to consider to send awards to employees when necessary.

    Date: Jun 19 2022
    Summary

    Our benefit with this platform has been totally remarkable, our employees have been able to obtain recognition for their work, in addition we have been able to manage each of the forecasts that we give to our employees. This platform has been used in this company for more than a year, and the results have been innovative, since in the various areas of the company, it has allowed our employees to be recognized for the effort they make every day is a working day. . In addition, it is fantastic to be able to know exactly how many awards a person has been awarded, in this way we can know which employee has been the most outstanding in their work within the company. We are very grateful for the perseverance and effectiveness that this platform has shown, with the help of it we have been able to make recognitions when necessary, we can also send cash prizes, gift cards and many other awards. It is very important to highlight that to send awards to an employee there is no need to pay any additional fee, to be able to send awards I only know to pay for a Guusto plan, and you will immediately have access to send all kinds of awards whenever you want . I would recommend this platform for any company that is looking for a reward mechanism for its employees, it is the best option to consider since its prices are quite low.

    Positive

    Rewarding all our employees for their work time has been a fairly simple process with the implementation of this platform called Guusto. The main things that I liked about this platform is that you have a fairly fast award delivery time, on several occasions I have sent awards to my employees and these awards have arrived in approximately five minutes. The speed with which the awards are delivered within this platform is quite beneficial for me, since I can reward my employees and they can receive this award without having to wait several hours or even several days. Another of the positive things that you do not know about this platform is the wide variety of awards that it allows me to send, there are currently more than 50 gift cards available to send to employees as a reward measure with this great availability and variety in the amount of awards is very beneficial, since you can send different awards for each employee. I should also mention that another of the positive things about this platform is that it has an excellent potential detection system, this system creates a positioning table where the employees who have been awarded the most during a specific time are shown, this The award table helps me to know exactly which employee has been awarded the most during a month or a week. In addition, this award table also helps me understand who has been the most outstanding employee within the various work areas. Guusto It's a pretty complete platform when it comes to sending awards and managing employee awards, you can send cash awards, checks and even gift cards via email, that wide variety of awards, it's pretty good for any company.

    Negative

    The only problem that I faced during my experience with this software is that when I send an award to an employee, there is no way to verify if the employee has opened the award or if he has ignored it, nor can you know exactly if the employee has received the award correctly. This function that is missing within this software has brought several problems within my company since sometimes, we want to know if the employee has already received the award correctly, but it is not possible, the only way to know that information is by asking the employee directly . I would like this award status system to be added, where you can know exactly if the award has already been redeemed or received. It should be noted that a large part of Guusto's functionalities were totally positive, this software really provided a magnificent result when it comes to sending awards and recognition to our employees, I only think that they should integrate that function that I mentioned previously, since that would help the experience of all users is more complete and with better benefits.

    I'm grateful for the recognition and the Gusto platform as a delivery method. Much better than other sites and so easy to use.

    Positive

    Very simple to use. So many options to select a vendor even for someone living in a more remote community without access to most box stores. This reward platform is so much better than the ones we've used in the past. Thank you to my organization's leadership for selecting a reward that feels like personalized and recognizes and values differences in place and preferences.

    Negative

    Not much to add here. Of course more options could be better but not needed.
