When employees go above and beyond, they deserve more than a thank you. The Motivosity Spot Bonus program lets managers reward employees in real time with a personal message and a meaningful bonus. It’s simple and creates a lasting impression.
Spot Bonuses are easy to use and even easier to manage. HR teams can create programs, assign budgets, monitor usage, and approve spend without spreadsheets or micromanagement. Everything is automated, tracked, and right where it should be.
Celebrating employee milestones is an essential component of a positive and productive work environment. All milestones you set up will get celebrated in the central social feed so everyone in the company can see and celebrate together, resulting in increased engagement, better retention, and higher eNPS scores. Employees who prefer private acknowledgement can also change their preferences for a more low-key experience.
With Reward Accounts, you can fund and manage multiple Spot Bonus programs at once. Track spending, assign program owners, and scale recognition without the chaos. Each team gets what they need—without losing oversight.
Spot Bonuses put real, spendable cash directly into your employees’ Motivosity balances—no restrictions or expiration dates. Unlike gift cards, which are often limited to specific stores or forgotten in inboxes, Spot Bonuses give employees full freedom to spend, save, or donate however they choose.
Empower managers to recognize and reward their employees for great work with their own spot bonus budgets.
Easily create, manage, and monitor custom spot bonus budgets by team, department, location, and more.
Set automated thresholds to allow your managers to give spot bonuses up to a certain amount without approval.
Enable your employees to instantly redeem their spot bonus however they choose, without waiting for payroll.
See spot bonus allocation totals, to-date spend, pending approvals, and usage metrics in one simple dashboard.
Recognize and reward employees publicly on the social feed or privately, depending on their preferences.
Whether you're starting small or going all-in, Motivosity makes it easy to build a culture of gratitude. Let’s turn everyday moments into powerful connections—one thanks at a time.
