What encorePeople is

encorePeople is a peer-to-peer employee recognition and rewards platform for supporting engagement and connecting recognition with company values. Colleagues share recognition on a digital wall, where others can respond with applause or comments. Administrators can run thank-you and monetary reward campaigns, along with recurring awards for birthdays and long service. The reward catalogues span more than 120 countries, and the homepage lists over 900 rewards. A real-time reporting dashboard presents insights about company culture.

The service is available on the web, through an API, and as a self-hosted option. Its four monthly invoiced plans are Core, Enhanced, Premium, and Enterprise; plan prices are not included here. Core covers one country and language choice from the UK, Germany, or the US, up to four campaigns, and Microsoft or Google sign-in. Enhanced adds up to four more country and language choices, enhanced reporting, multiple administrators, and Teams, Slack, and Office 365 integrations. Premium includes unlimited countries, languages, and campaigns, an API suite, a dedicated account manager, and premium and local rewards. Enterprise adds a customisable interface and hybrid or on-premises server. encorePeople says it is ISO 27001:2022 certified, GDPR compliant, and stores and manages data within the EU. Self-onboarding lets users customise the platform, with the product page describing a process that can take 20 minutes.
