Spot Bonuses
Empower managers to give thanks with spot bonuses.
Sometimes a shoutout just isn’t enough. With Spot Bonuses in Motivosity, managers can instantly reward exceptional performance—no paperwork, no extra hoops to jump through. Recognition becomes timely, tangible, and truly motivating.
“I've loved my experience with Motivosity. It's been super amazing speaking as a manager and also speaking as just an individual employee of the company. I love the celebration aspect of it and the ability to receive and give appreciation. Honestly, for myself it is a huge motivator to know I'm headed in the right direction when I get praise.”
Reward great work instantly.
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.
Easy for leaders, simple for HR.
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.
Customizable by team, role, or region.
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.
Reward Accounts keep you in control.
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.
Real money, real motivation.
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.
