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.

    Best Birthday Gift For Employees!

    Updated: Mar 15 2023
    Summary

    Overall, it's an awesome product. 10/10 would recommend it for companies who are looking to incentivize or provide recognition to their employees!

    Positive

    It's easy and straightforward to set up. It's the best way to do something nice for our company personnel without too much hassle.

    It allows us to also remain quite personal despite sending a gift card. With the gift card, we're able to send a custom message and digital birthday card!

    One of the best things is that recipients get to pick where they want to use their gift card. It has it all, Amazon, restaurants, shops, VISA card, etc.

    Negative

    Perhaps the only thing I would want Guusto to change is to enable us to further brand the whole experience.

    The gift card email and landing page can be fully branded with our company logo and colors, but it could be nice to take it even further by branding the final redemption page.

    Best Gift Card App Experience

    Date: Jan 07 2023
    Summary

    Not having to leave home to purchase gift cards to give my loved ones or employees. Guusto makes it easy to give options and choices to people who would otherwise find it difficult.

    Positive

    It's an easy app to purchase and redeem gift cards. The efficiency and timeless effort to send gift cards is just astonishing.

    Negative

    What I dislike about the Guusto app is that sometimes it loads slow and it takes a while to receive your gift cards.

    Constant sending of awards for employees.

    Date: Feb 26 2023
    Summary

    Guusto is our main platform to send gift cards and recognitions to our employees. Within this platform, not only can awards be sent in gift card format, but we also have a section where we can send non-monetary recognitions to our employees. employees, we can create custom recognition for each employee. This platform also has a positioning table, where I can see the employees who have received the most recognition or awards in the form of gift cards. This positioning table is very special to me and allows me to have a broad knowledge of how many awards they have received. received by each employee. I feel very comfortable using this platform, since it makes our employees happy and allows them to be more encouraged to complete all their tasks. This platform offers me an immediate gift card, which guarantees that other employees always They will receive the corresponding award. Using this platform has been completely simple, which helped a lot as our experience within this platform was quite complete, I have no complaints regarding the general operation of the platform, it has behaved excellently for constant shipping awards to employees.

    Positive

    Guusto is a service that has been relatively important for us due to its effectiveness when it comes to sending awards to our employees. With the help of this platform we have been able to retain employees and keep assets in their work, since we have been able to send awards that encourage employees to continue working with us. I really love this platform because of the wide variety of rewards available within it, it allows me to take up to 100+ gift cards to send to my employees, plus I can customize each gift card to add a default image or improve the design of this gift card, in addition, there are no fixed amounts for gift cards, this platform allows me to send gift cards of any amount to my employees. Another feature that I really liked about this platform is the ability to make all kinds of donations, every time I send a gift card to an employee, I have the option of adding a donation to any organization around the United States, as well , the platform also allows me to send gift cards to any location in any country, this is quite satisfactory since I can send gift cards to employees who are outside the country at any time, so they can use them in that country without any Type of problem.

    Negative

    The main Negative point that can be found within this platform is that there is no type of application to download for computers, the version for mobile devices is currently available as well as the web version, however, it would be excellent to be able to send awards and manage the awards of each one of the employees through a desktop application, without having to open any type of web page, I hope that this application for computers will be developed as soon as possible, despite the fact that the web version behaves correctly, I would like to use a download version for desktops. Another of the negative points of this platform is that there is no type of option to be able to change an award sent by mistake, for example, if you have recently sent an award to an employee, and you made a mistake in the type of gift card, You will not be able to exchange this gift card even though you have not redeemed that gift card, negative since I have made a mistake several times in sending the gift card to my employees.
