Bonusly

Overview

Good work happens every day. Most teams never see it. Bonusly fixes that. It's the recognition and rewards platform that makes appreciation a daily habit — so your best people feel seen, your culture gets stronger, and your managers actually have something to talk about in their 1:1s. Trusted by 3,400+ organizations including DoorDash, Toast, HelloFresh, SeatGeek, and Notion.

Recognition that goes in every direction

Peer-to-peer, manager-to-employee, employee-to-manager — recognition flows every way it should. Every recognition is tied to a company value, visible to the whole team, and redeemable for a reward that actually means something. No more shoutouts that disappear into a Slack channel and get forgotten by Friday.

Rewards worth working toward

A global catalog of 1,000+ gift cards, cash, charitable donations, and curated gifts — so your appreciation never feels like a participation trophy. No matter where your employees are, they'll find something they actually want.

Milestones, automated

Birthdays, work anniversaries, onboarding completions — celebrated automatically, personally, and in a way your team won't forget. Set it up once. Never miss a moment.

Works inside the tools your team already uses

Native Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations bring recognition into the flow of work. iOS and Android apps keep distributed teams connected wherever they are. Recognition shouldn't require a separate login.

Better Together

BambooHR is where you manage your people. Bonusly is where they feel it.

Connect the two and your recognition program keeps up automatically. New hires are welcomed from day one. Birthdays and work anniversaries are never missed. People who leave are removed without a manual cleanup.

And because Bonusly pulls departments, locations, and divisions straight from BambooHR, you can see exactly where culture is strong and where it needs your attention.

Your people data, finally put to work.

Integration

How it works.

Connect Bonusly to BambooHR and run your recognition program on autopilot. Employee data stays accurate without anyone managing it manually — new hires are ready to give and receive recognition from day one, and offboarded employees are removed automatically. Setup takes minutes through Bonusly's integrations page, with no API keys or subdomains required.

How it works.

New hires in. Termed employees out.
Any change in BambooHR syncs to Bonusly every night. No spreadsheets, no duplicate entry, no one falling through the cracks. Trigger a manual sync any time a time-sensitive change needs to take effect immediately.

Celebrations on autopilot.
BambooHR sends hire dates and birthdays directly to Bonusly. Work anniversaries and birthday bonuses fire automatically — you just take the credit.
