Enable Peer-to-Peer Recognition and Create More Engaged Teams

Drive higher employee engagement and satisfaction through peer-to-peer recognition. Feeling appreciated by colleagues is fundamental to workplace happiness, fulfillment, and teamwork. And this increases productivity, staff retention, and revenue results for your business.

With Gifteo, peer-to-peer recognition is simple and impactful. Employees can send personalised messages and company points, which can be redeemed for vouchers. It’s a hands-off solution for busy HR managers and CEOs who want to build motivated, engaged teams (but don’t have time to tackle it all themselves).

Business Benefits of Peer-to-Peer Recognition

Encouraging peer-to-peer recognition increases employee engagement and reduces staff turnover.

If you want a quick and effective way to motivate staff and encourage teamwork, recognition from colleagues is the solution.

On an individual level, it can make someone’s day and ensure they feel valued. At a macro level, it creates a positive work environment with respect and appreciation at the core. Together, this increases staff productivity and drives collaboration, which produces better business results.

Boost engagement

Recognition from colleagues reinforces positive behaviours, increases morale, and encourages collaboration.

Build culture organically

When appreciation becomes part of day-to-day interactions, it naturally creates a supportive, values-led workplace culture.

Encourage teamwork

Peer recognition is important for team cohesion and cross-functional relationships, especially valuable in remote and hybrid environments.

Spread motivation evenly

The peer-to-peer approach distributes recognition more evenly across the business without placing the burden solely on managers.

Drive performance

More engaged, collaborative, motivated teams produce stronger results for the organisation.

Gifteo provides an all-in-one solution. Recognition sits alongside rewards, surveys, wellbeing content, and exclusive discounts within a single platform.

The Power of Peer-to-Peer Recognition

While top-down recognition from managers is important, peer recognition programs add an entirely different dynamic.
They enable appreciation to flow organically across teams and departments. It empowers employees to recognise and celebrate each other’s contributions, big and small.

Strengthens Team Bonds

Acknowledging day-to-day help and collaboration builds trust and rapport between colleagues. Highlighting above-and-beyond effort means staff are more likely to support each other in the future.

Builds an Inclusive Culture

Recognition isn’t limited to top performers. Any team member can receive thanks for their input, no matter their seniority or role.

Increases Employee Engagement

Employees who feel recognised are four times more likely to be engaged in their work. And they’re five times as likely to feel connected to company culture.

Greater Visibility

Employees doing great work behind the scenes get recognised by the people who work closest with them. It ensures that those staff quietly overdelivering get the appreciation they deserve.

Peer-to-peer recognition can take many forms, such as:

Thanking a colleague for helping with a task
Recognising someone’s support during a busy period
Celebrating a team win
Appreciating someone for stepping in last-minute
Shouting out a creative solution or idea
Staff awards voted for by colleagues
