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.

    Nothing really. I thought it would be more complicated and cumbersome for this kind of service but it's actually very streamlined and easy to use.

    Great For Providing People With Options

    Date: Mar 09 2022
    Summary

    We've had a good experience with Guusto so far, and will likely keep using it for most of our gifting purposes for the foreseeable future. Not only does it allow us a lot of control in gifting and redeeming, but the level of recordkeeping helps our accounting as well.

    Positive

    This tool is great for gifting employees or people that you don't have too much background on. Easy to put aside budgeted amounts for recognition here, and lots of control for what the gift could be.

    Negative

    Like any up-and-coming service, they still have their kinks to work out. However support is easy to work with, so not too much of an issue.

    Very complete platform to send awards by email.

    Date: Nov 28 2022
    Summary

    Guusto provided an extremely complete experience for all of us. Within the financial services company there are many employees who always excel in their work, therefore, this platform has been key to rewarding each of the tasks that other employees do, weekly. we will carry out a study of the employee who has been the most hard-working, and thanks to this platform we can provide an award through a specific gift card, we give that employee the possibility of choosing the gift card that best suits what he wants. I consider that this platform has been very important for us, since it has allowed us to deliver all kinds of awards in my gift project, and prevent us from making all kinds of transfers through a bank account to be able to reward an employee, just by depositing money on this platform through a debit card, we can buy all kinds of gift cards and send them to other employees, I love being able to have a system that helps me reward my employees without having to use my bank account for it. Also, I was impressed by the fact that I have to pay very low fees for the gift card sending transaction, this helps me to be able to save money while rewarding my employees, I am really satisfied with all the features brought by this platform. The only thing that I hope is that the award positioning system is implemented, in this way I can keep track of who has been the most awarded employee within a specific date.

    Positive

    Guusto is an excellent reward service, mainly because this platform offers a wide variety of gift cards that you can send to all employees, without any limit. One of the first things that I liked about this platform is the great variety that there is when choosing a gift card for your employees, you can choose all kinds of gift cards for online stores, games or physical stores, This It is quite beneficial since we have a lot of variety when it comes to sending some type of recognition to our employees. Another of the things that I liked about this platform is the great speed it has when it comes to sending these awards, every time an award is sent, I have to put that employee's email, and that employee receives it within of approximately two or five minutes, I consider that this is a fairly short time for the reception of each award. In addition, this platform is capable of storing all the award information in a database. I love this database because it allows me to have a record of each of the awards that I send to our employees, and I can also find out which one was the date of that award shipment, what was the amount of the award and many more details, I really loved that this platform is able to provide me with a fairly constant award management, since it allows me to know all the cousins ​​that were sent towards a specific employee since you started using this platform, or I don't know what is employee started working in the company, I also loved that this platform charges very low fees for each gift card transaction, that helps a lot since I can send several awards without paying high commissions.

    Negative

    The only negative thing that I noticed about this platform is that it does not have a positioning system or Leaderboard. In order to organize the employees who have received the most financial recognition in our company, having this award table would help a lot so that we can identify the Employee who more has received awards in our company within a specific period of time, I consider that this function is extremely important so that we can perceive which employee has obtained more recognition and which employee has not yet obtained financial recognition. Currently, the only way to identify which employee has received the most awards by performing a manual study, we have to enter the awards given to each employee individually, in order to know the employee with the most awards in our company. Regarding the functions provided by this platform, I consider that none of them have given me any type of failure at any time, I have always been able to send awards and different gift cards to the employees with the best performance in their work, in addition, this platform has a delivery notification system; which sends us an alert when a gift card has been successfully delivered to its recipient.

    The vast amount of stores the card can be redeemed for is huge value! It is much better than a lot of gift cards on the market and I would personally use this over a VISA or Mastercard giftcard!

    Guusto Rewards Review

    Date: Dec 07 2022
    Summary

    Overall, I think Guusto is a wonderful platform. I love that managers are able to freely use it as they wish, and able to provide instant recognition to team members whenever they want. It helps us just show our team just one of the ways how much they mean to us.

    Positive

    I like both sides of the platform of the ease of giving a gift, and the ease of receiving a gift and selecting which merchant you would like your gift to go to. if you have multiple gifts, it is a great feature that you can combine amounts towards one merchant.

    Negative

    I think that it is possible to overtime get even more merchants. On the back end side as well sometimes the reporting feature and getting expense reports can be a little difficult so making those features have less clicks and easier to find.

    I have also not found a way to transfer money back from a team account to your persona account and sometimes that would be helpful.
