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.

Love it!
Date: Mar 15 2022SummaryI feel that we have been able to get more recognition for the hard work or big milestones we reach at work. I feel this was something we lacked before and now it has motivated people to work harder.
PositiveI really like how you have the option to send gifts to the people you work with if they did something great or if maybe they are having a bad day. I feel this is a great idea to increase morale in the workplace.
NegativeHonestly, I haven't found anything that I would change or that I dislike about the platform. You are able to customize your own platform to fit the company you work for and create your own individual profile. I feel that it might be cool if there was an option to add in your social media or information so coworkers can reach you!

Efficient platform to provide economic recognition to employees.
Date: Dec 15 2022SummaryGuusto means a lot to our entire company, since it has allowed us to reward and provide recognition to all our employees, in addition, this platform not only allows you to Send monetary awards as a measure of recognition or employee, but also allows you to create digital recognition for your employees without any kind of economic recognition. Alejandro is fascinated by the delivery capacity that this platform has for each of the gift cards that we have requested on this platform. In this company we have requested approximately more than 400 gift cards since we started using this platform. It is important to highlight that the The company's marketing area is the area that has received the most awards from this platform. We have been delighted with the great variety that exists when it comes to choosing a gift card. In addition, we have been delighted that this game allows us to send a gift card. gift of any amount, there are no fixed amounts for the gift card, I can modify the amount that a gift card can have for my employee. I am very happy with the general results provided, the experience I have obtained on this platform has been wonderful for rewarding all employees and being able to give them recognition for their efforts in the workplace.
PositiveThe main features that I liked about Gusto are:
1- This platform has a wide variety of gift cards available within the list that it offers when sending a gift card to your employees. Its variety helps you choose the card that best suits what you need, There are gift cards for online stores and also gift cards for physical stores, you can also send stores for video games and many other gift cards.
2- I love the delivery capacity that this platform has in sending gift cards, since on several occasions I have sent a gift card to our employees and they have received it instantly, there is no need to wait additional time for it to the order is processed, the gift card is delivered to the employee immediately.
3- I also like that the platform has a built-in system that works by means of a reminder, this platform sends a reminder to the employee when he has not used the gift card that has been provided to him, in addition, this reminder system allows us to receive a notification when the employee has used the gift card that we have sent to his email.
4- I also liked that this platform allows me to send gift cards through different ways, it has a social mail integration, therefore, we can send gift cards through social networks to other employees, it also allows us to send gift cards through messages, by email and also by fax.NegativeThe features that I did not like about this platform are:
Read More...
1- It does not have any type of positioning system or positioning table that helps us understand which employee has received the most awards in our company, therefore, if we want to know this information, we have to investigate the database of data from this platform to be able to find out which employee has been awarded the most during a specific time, it would be excellent to be able to use a leaderboard.
2- Another of the negative characteristics of this platform is that it does not have a refund system, therefore, if for some reason I have made a mistake in the prize that I have sent to my employee, I will not be able to make the refund within this platform, therefore, I have to be very careful when sending any awards to employees, since there are no returns.
3- The support within this platform is almost hard, since it takes a long time to attend to any type of request, and if you have any type of doubt regarding the gift cards offered in the main list, you will have to wait approximately 48 hours to be taken care of by the support team, I consider it to be one of the negative features that has to be optimized as soon as possible. -

Complete system to award recognition to any employee.
Date: Oct 04 2022SummaryGuusto has had an excellent performance since he came to our company, I believe that this platform has been key to sending all kinds of awards and giving recognition to our employees, previously it was quite complicated to give recognition and keep a record of each one of them, since that we constantly send awards to employees and it was very complex to keep track of the number of awards given. I believe that this platform has been key to other important awards to our real estate agents, in our company we have many real estate agents who work hard every day to fulfill all their tasks, so this platform has been very key to sending awards to those agents who excel in the sale or trade of real estate. I loved the experience I had with this platform, I consider it very important for our company to have an excellent employee retention system, so that we can retain the most important employees for us and be able to recognize them for their great work. This platform is being used only in our corporate sector, since we are in charge of sending awards to all of our employees and managing the number of awards given to each one of them. I am very happy with the entire platform, I think it has been quite comfortable to use, and it has been very easy to manage the amount of recognition and awards for employees.
PositiveGuusto is a very functional service that allows companies to develop an award or recognition system for their employees. The main reason why we started using this platform in our real estate company is because it is very important for us to provide accurate recognition to our employees. for their job performance. Thanks to this platform we have obtained that system, we have managed to use a system that allows us to modify the type of qualification that we can give to employees, create various qualifications, send all kinds of awards and many more things, this platform has very advanced functions to develop a correct employee reward system. Next, I will mention the positive things that contributed the most to my experience within this platform.
1.- The main feature that I liked about this platform is that it allows me to create various types of qualifications for my employees, however, the platform also provides you with some medals or qualifications, it is simple that you can provide each of the employees, your employees must register within the platform and fill in their work data, then you can provide them with these recognition medals in their work profiles within Guusto. It is important to highlight that you can create your own personalized medals or recognitions, within this platform you can make a medal design that is to your liking to provide your employees depending on the activity that you want to recognize.
2.- Another thing that I like about this platform is the wide variety of gift cards available to reward employees, for example, if you need to provide a medal but you also want to add a cash award, you can do it Through gift cards, there are more than 100 gift cards available in the list of this platform, you have the option to send gift cards from Starbucks, Amazon and many others. It is also important to highlight that you can not only send awards through gift cards, but you can also send awards through a check within the platform, there are a wide variety of methods to send money as an award to your employees, so that will never be a problem. issue.
3.- I have also loved the history and registration system that this platform has, this system is capable of keeping a complete record of all the awards, medals or recognition that have been given to each of the employees, you can store all this information without any type of limit within the platform, this helps you to consult this data at any time when you need it, you can consult this data even when several years have passed since a specific award has been sent. Keeping track of all employee awards and recognition helps you know which employee is performing better in recent months.
4.- This platform also has an employee positioning system, this means that there will be a positioning table which will tell you which employee has received the most recognition since you started using the platform, this function is very important since It will help you to know which employee has had the highest performance and for which they have received the most recognition, I really love this function.
5.- I have also loved the way in which I can recognize the effort of the employees in a constant and automated way, I can configure so that this platform grants a bonus or recognition to the most outstanding employees in their work, in order to be able to retain outstanding employees in a specific sector. I can configure so that an award is sent to them every so often, this function is very important.NegativeGuusto is a fairly reliable platform, the way in which this platform works helps you to send awards and other recognitions to employees in order to retain them in the company, I consider that this platform has given us a lot of positive factors and characteristics, which have helped to develop a correct functionality of the awards. Next, I will mention some negative things that I perceived about this platform.
Read More...
1.- This platform has a free trial period so that the two users can try some of the functions offered by this platform, however, I consider that this free trial is very limited for users, since it does not allow you to use all the gift cards available in the list, it only allows you to send awards through a few gift cards, if you want to access all the available gift cards you must subscribe to this platform with a payment plan. In addition, if you are using a free trial, they will have a limit when it comes to storing information on the number of recognitions sent to your employees, if you need there to be no type of limit within this platform you will have to subscribe, that is why I consider that the period free trial is very limited.
2.- There is no function to be able to view the status of a gift card that you have sent to an employee, you cannot see if the employee has received it correctly or if he has already used that award. It is really necessary to implement a system to verify the status of the awarded award, since in this way we could have had other employees receive the award correctly without having to consult them manually.
3.- Another of the negative things is the minimum amount to send any of the available gift cards, I have noticed that awards cannot be sent with an exact amount, the amounts of the gift cards are already predetermined by the platform, no you can modify the amount to send a precise amount to your employees, you must round the amount. A feature to modify the desired gift card amount is greatly needed, as this would help us to be more precise in sending an exact amount of money to our employees. -
