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.

    Date: Jan 07 2022
    Summary

    Every good creation needs appreciation for making our lives a little more easier in this fast paced environment. Just love it. I've already flaunted it with few of friends and family ;) never let go off a chance, right?!

    Positive

    I want to name a few other gift cards I've used in the recent past, but my experience with Guusto has been the best. What matters the most these days? Being User friendly. Not just that, I didn't know you could even split money where you'd want to use. Wow! It is unique.

    Negative

    I cannot think of any cons at the moment. I am a popular reviewer. So, I shall post one for sure when I find out. ;)

    Strengthen employee productivity by providing gift card rewards.

    Date: Aug 06 2022
    Summary

    Guusto is a totally optimal platform to send awards and reinforce recognition for some type of occasion, for example, when we carry out an event within our company or a project in general and we notice that an employee has stood out a lot, we can give him a recognition within the platform or directly from your inbox, this acknowledgment is received immediately by the employee. The main reason why this platform has been successful within our labor sector is because previously it did not cost much to provide awards to employees and keep track of their recognition, with the help of this platform we can store all the information there , we can know the attitude of all the recognitions that have been provided since we started using the platform, we can also send prizes in gift cards to other employees, since previously the only way to send prizes was through cash prizes. It is absolutely necessary that simply also a system of sending prizes by bank transfer or cash prizes, so that the sending of prizes is much more varied. Regarding the general functionality, I admit that this platform has behaved wonderfully, I have always been able to send prizes to our employees, to encourage them to continue fulfilling all their tasks in a timely manner.

    Positive

    Having a complete organization and an appropriate record for all kinds of awards is what characterizes a business sector, because every time you need to provide some kind of award to encourage employees to work better, Guusto is the ideal platform to give everything type of recognition and awards to employees, is the number one platform today that will help you organize all kinds of awards and keep track of all the knowledge you give your employees within your sector. The main feature that I like about this platform is that you can provide recognition without the need to use money prizes, currently this platform allows you to create some recognitions in a customizable way, some plaques that are provided to each of the employees within the platform , this will help pinpoint the highest performing and most recognized employee, but you can also provide recognition that has an attached prize, such as a gift card. In addition, with the help of this platform you will be able to keep a complete count of the employees with much more recognitions and the employees who have not had as many recognitions, in order to be able to take measures in time and know why the employees are not having as much productivity to obtain recognitions. . In addition, this platform has a built-in chat in which its main objective is to contribute to the celebration of some recognition from their colleagues, that means that every time an employee receives recognition from us, a notification is sent to everyone. the employees of that sector, so that they can connect to the platform and celebrate together. Next, I will make some positive things about this platform.

    * You have a great availability when looking for a specific prize, that means that there will be a lot of availability when sending a gift card to your employees. When you want to search for a gift card, you have many options, whether it is a Starbucks gift card, Amazon gift card or many more options, that will help you give a specific prize to that person, the bad thing about this feature is that it only allows you to reward the employees with gift card, you can't send cash rewards or rewards by transfer from some payment portal, so this function is a bit limited, it should be a little more expanded to allow employees to receive cash rewards or by transfer.

    * You can keep a real-time count of all the awards that have been given within the company, this platform connects all the sectors of a company, and helps all the administrators of a sector to view the awards that have been given to the employees from different sectors. For example, as the director of the marketing sector, I can know exactly which employees have been recognized in the last few hours or days, this platform gives me all the information about it.

    * You can create the recognition is personalized, the recognitions are created within the platform, you can add a design that you like the most and you can add various forms to make the recognition much more complete, customizing the recognition helps you to give it the touch that you like the most.

    Negative

    Guusto has had a very complete development within our company, it has been a very important shower that has allowed us to send all kinds of awards and recognitions to our employees, either by email or through the same platform, however there is a feature that I will mention below that it is totally necessary for this platform to be much more potential and help the prizes to be sent from anywhere in the world. The missing feature is:

    * This platform does not have any type of application for mobile phones, which can make it a bit difficult to send awards or recognition to employees, and the main reason why it is a negative factor is because on some occasions the users who users need to use the mobile version, either because you are away from your company or outside your office area, it would be great if you can send the corresponding forecasts at your leisure with the help of your cell phone, use Word in ador to doing that process can sometimes turn out to be a bit annoying. It is absolutely necessary to create an application for cell phones, this would greatly simplify the sending of prizes, it would be much easier since you only have to press the prize you want to send and the corresponding address, the employee will receive the prize you sent in question of seconds, this app would be perfect.

    Good app

    Updated: Mar 22 2022
    Summary

    Overall, it is a great app for rewarding your friends and teammates for their hard work. Except few cons, I would say it is one of the best app for sending gift cards.

    Positive

    - The user interface is colourful and simple to use, with good-looking icons and smooth borders.
    - I appreciate how easy it is to send gift cards to anyone in order to reward them.
    - They provide gift cards from huge number of vendors, like for clothing. Sportswear, groceries etc

    Negative

    I think there should be an option in which the receiver may ask for the gift card for a particular vendor so that he/she can use that according to his/her needs.

    Hi Jevendra, Awesome to hear that you find our tool simple to use - that's always the goal :) If you'd like to request a vendor in particular, I'd suggest you pass that onto those who might send you gifts so they can keep that in mind while sending you a gift! Thanks for being a Guusto champion!

    Easy to use and perfect for our needs!

    Date: Mar 29 2022
    Summary

    Guusto has been ridiculously easy to get started. It is intuitive and simple to navigate. We love that you can give gift cards for particular places, but mostly that you can give a Guusto gift card recipients can redeem wherever makes their heart happy. Not to mention, the platform is free and the purchasing fees are less than buying a general gift card from the grocery store. And you never have to leave your desk!

    Positive

    Guusto is super easy to use. It is customizable to match your brand standards, and has tons of options for gift-giving and redemption. We are super happy with how easy it was to set up and implement, and we've already hit the ground running with gift-giving.

    Negative

    It would be great to have a few more options for grocery or gas cards for employees who are looking to spend their rewards on more sensible items, but there are still tons of great choices in our area.
