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.

    Guusto for work and recognition

    Date: Mar 02 2023
    Summary

    I greatly enjoyed using Guusto. I will recommend for my friends business small and big to professionally recognize employees and provide a token of gratitude that feels dignified and in their hands and is easy to navigate and quick.

    Positive

    I found the user interface very seamless. It was easy to navigate. I could enter my details to redeem gift card and select my chosen establishment smoothly. A wide variety was provided. I felt it was very secure and professional and elevated experience.

    Negative

    Nothing major to report. I really valued the accessibility support provided that was made for low vision users of different dis/abilities as I have visually impaired friends struggle to find apps that support accessibility software and here it is integrated perfectly.

    Guusto is a Great Website

    Date: Jan 23 2023
    Summary

    Overall, Guusto is great and solves a ton of problems. It makes sending online money more personal, and it makes it easier. Compared to other online gifting services, Guusto is the best!

    Positive

    The best thing that I like about Guusto is how easy it is to send money. There aren't any extra steps for anything, and it is so simple. Also, Guusto makes sending online money fun, as it is not just as boring as transferring money to someone. It takes creativity to choose a perfect gift card for a specific person!

    Negative

    I don't dislike too many things about Guusto. But, if i were to choose one it would be the fact that Guusto could use more merchants in their list. Adding more restaurant chains would help.

    Date: May 02 2023
    Summary

    Yes I love Guusto very nice app my manager showed it to me and also taught me a few things. Nice app.

    Positive

    I liked how you can show appreciation in private or public to the employee who doesn’t get recognition for their work.

    Negative

    It should have a withdrawal system where you can withdraw money instead of getting a gift card etc.

    Guusto is Incredible and the Best!

    Date: Apr 17 2023
    Summary

    Overall, Guusto is solving many problems. One is how Guusto makes sending online money so much more fun and easy to do. It makes sending money online more "personal."

    Positive

    I love how versatile Guusto is in the choices offered for gifting. Also, the design and layout of the website is super sleek and easy to use. It could not get any better!

    Negative

    One thing that I dislike about Guusto is that there aren't many clothing brands offered for gifting compared to other websites. Other than that, everything is great!

    Very useful application to promote hard work of employees

    Date: Feb 20 2023
    Summary

    Guusto is solving the problem of employee retention, which is growing daily among corporate employees. The most common reason for employees leaving a job is that they do not get recognized for their work. With the help of Guusto software, it has become easier to appreciate employees for their work.

    Positive

    The best thing I like about Guusto is the automatic gift card sending feature where we can automatically send the gift card to different people on specific dates, like birthdays, holidays etc. I set up the preauthorized gift card sending beforehand so that I don't forget about the dates.

    Negative

    In terms of technology used, it is excellent software and very easy to use, but I would suggest including more brands in the gift-sending option. Currently, very few brands sell household items on the gift card list that gusto provides. Other than this overall experience of using the application is very good.

    Date: Apr 02 2023
    Summary

    Good experience and user friendly and hopefully I am ready to start a full time usage after my free trial.

    Positive

    Even though I am on free trial, Guusto had proven to be the best in sending and recognizing customers loyalty. I love Guusto because it supports different languages and currency and also it's quite easier to carry out various functions without system glitching.

    Negative

    I haven't been able to see any feature yet for dark mood for people with eye defect or eye problems, maybe it's there but I can't find it.

    Great option for a company gift to employees

    Date: Jan 04 2023
    Summary

    It is very easy and gives you lots of ideas for items for purchase. I like the versatility of options.

    Positive

    Lots of choices for gifts and helpful items that are needed everyday. It is far better than getting a single location gift card.

    Negative

    I wish you could sort by availability based on cities and online.

    The selection of vendors is great, and this is so very easy to use.

    Negative

    I can't say I can think of any cons.

    Excellent platform for giving and recieving gifts

    Date: Mar 29 2023
    Summary

    Guusto helps provide employees at the store level with rewards from their managers who may live far away or be unavailable to bring the physical rewards into the store.

    Positive

    Guusto is extremely user-friendly and therefore simple to use when trying to send colleagues gifts and receive them in return. The rewards options are also excellent.

    Negative

    Honestly, I really don't have a ton to say that is bad about Guusto. The first time I used it, my reward was not working but customer serviced fixed the issue overnight.

    Positive

    The user interface and experience is great! The support team over at Guusto is prompt to respond and very helpful.

    Negative

    Mobile site accessibility could use a little work as seeing the claim code proved difficult on mobile.

    Great idea for giving gift cards to volunteers or staff!

    Date: Jan 12 2023
    Summary

    It helps employers send gift cards to employees or volunteers as small tokens of appreciation that they can actually enjoy. With Guusto, employers no longer have to pick just one vendor for gift cards, and guess what the majority of people will enjoy and find useful. They can send them using Guusto and let the receiver pick what they want, making it much more enjoyable for everyone.

    Positive

    I've received gift cards from my past employers through Guusto and have always had success redeeming them. They have many different options to fit anyone's preferences which is excellent since everyone has different tastes.

    Negative

    The only gift card option for movie theatres (at least for where I live in Canada) was Cineplex which is too far for me. It would be nice if they could include other movie theatre chains as an option in the future, such as Landmark Cinemas.
