How It Works
Motivosity
Users are given a certain amount of Motivosity bucks every month to give recognition to other users. Earned bucks can be spent on gift cards or linked directly to a physical Motivosity debit card.
Qarrot
Recognition can be peer-to-peer or manager-to-employee and monetary or non-monetary. Giving points reset weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Earned points can be redeemed for gift cards.
