How long does it take you to pick the perfect GIF to accompany a bonus?

@bmtravis bhahaaha me too! For me, there's no middle ground. I either pick the first one that comes up for my search term or I try like 12 different search terms until I find a GIF that speaks to me.

@maja_orsic1 I usually shuffle and then go back to the first one that came up haha

@maja_orsic1 @bmtravis Agree, really picky when it comes to the perfect gif takes at least 5 maybe 7 minutes

We used Bonusly at Piktochart and loved it! I think it's a perfect vehicle to provide recognition that is engaging, easy, and fun. Slack integration makes it even easier, so kudos for the team for launching it!

@gwynethmarta thanks Marta. 💚 Easy and fun are words we live by at Bonusly, so I'm thrilled that that was your impression of Bonusly for Slack!

Hey all you Product Hunt cats and kittens! 😻 I hope you’re safe and well. Working from home full time these past several weeks has been an adjustment, to say the least. Like many companies, we're continuing to use Slack as our central communication hub and it's been instrumental in keeping our distributed @peerbonus team connected and productive. 👯‍♀️ Bonusly for Slack enhances our team's ability to collaborate by keeping recognition and appreciation top of mind for everyone. The same is true for our customers: nearly half of all Bonusly users access Bonusly via Slack and Bonusly customers with active Slack integrations see as much as 36% more program participation. 🤯 Using Slack’s latest API features, our team of makers took Bonusly for Slack to the next level and made it significantly easier and more fun for everyone to use. Want to try Bonusly for Slack with your team? ✨ Hooray! We’re offering extended free trials of Bonusly to the PH community through the end of April 2020. Get a Bonusly demo and get a special 60-day free trial of Bonusly. Here are a few of our favorite things about the new Bonusly for Slack: 🏃‍♀️🖼 Adding GIFs to bonuses Adding GIFs to bonuses is one of our customers' favorite features and now you can do it without leaving Slack! Bonusly users added nearly 1 million GIFs to bonuses on our web app in 2019, so get ready for lots of cute puppies and kittens in your Slack workspace. ✍️ Using the Give a bonus modal We knew that giving a bonus through Slack wasn't intuitive for all users, so we’ve made that much easier. Bonusly for Slack users can now fill out the details of your bonus through a Slack modal instead of having to remember the /give command and formatting. 🎁🕊 Accessing the Bonusly Reward Catalog Giving and viewing recognition is important, but so is turning that recognition into tangible perks! With the new Bonusly for Slack menu, users can easily get to Bonusly’s Reward Catalog to redeem for gift cards, experiences, cash, and charitable donations.

I used Bonusly at a previous gig for a couple years and boy was it ever great for making team members feel appreciated for the work they did. If you haven't tried it out, now is definitely the time. This Slack integration looks incredible. Well done Bonusly peeps! Also, great demo Maja!

@jodyheavener THANK YOU JODY!!!! The way you bring the Bonusly spirit of fun, generosity, and appreciation into the world is so inspiring. Thank you for being such a vocal advocate for Bonusly! Also, I just realized that the demo request link I added to my first comment isn't working. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Here it is! https://go.bonus.ly/request-a-de...

love the idea

@nikosmela thanks Nikos! How do you and @nafeesajaff celebrate everyday wins and stay connected at Quirk? It can be awkward to recognize your teammates when there are only a few of you!
Nikos Melachrinos
@nafeesajaff @maja_orsic we don't use slack for Quirk, in fact. but we might have to very soon as we're bringing more hands on deck. I would think Bonusly does need some critical mass to be effective? what do you think?
Maja Orsic

@nafeesajaff @nikosmela it depends on the kind of company culture you want to establish early on! For instance, Bonusly can be really helpful during new hire onboarding if you want to encourage transparency and collaboration as cultural values. With a few people on your team, it could certainly feel like you're recognizing the same people all the time. But where's the harm in that? It sets a precedent for appreciation and makes saying "thanks" a part of everyone's everyday work life. 💚

@matt_johnson10 thanks Matt! Our devs and designers used Slack's new Block Kit Builder to create the new Give a bonus modal and Home tab menu. 💅🎨 And yeah, seeing bonuses (and GIFs) in your Slack workspace throughout the workday is really nice and encouraging! When it's so easy to recognize your colleagues, recognizing them often becomes the norm!
