Good work doesn’t run on once-a-year surveys or performance reviews. 

It runs on the everyday connections between people. That’s why we’re excited to announce a set of new features designed to make recognition the heartbeat of your team’s daily experience — so employees feel seen and heard, managers can act fast, and HR can prove impact with confidence.

This release brings three connected capabilities: Pulse Checks, a reimagined Team Hub & Insights, and AI-powered Recaps. Together they turn everyday recognition into a steady stream of actionable signals that help teams stay connected, motivated, and moving forward.

What’s new

Keep a pulse on how your team is feeling

Instead of waiting for annual surveys, Pulse Checks allow employees to quickly check in with their manager, directly in the flow of work. Your team can share how they’re doing in seconds, managers get immediate context on team sentiment, and HR can dive into company-wide themes or explore results by team, department, or location.

All of this makes it a lot easier to build trust, spot trends early, and act before small issues grow into big ones.

One view to see how your team’s really doing

The Team Hub brings every engagement signal into one view so managers don’t have to guess how their people are doing. Recognition activity, pulse-check participation, and engagement trends are all visible at a glance, while AI highlights hotspots, themes, and next steps. That way, leaders can spot patterns early, address challenges before they grow, and celebrate more wins along the way.

Your growth story, captured as it happens

Bonusly Recaps use AI to turn everyday recognition, feedback, 1:1 notes, and goal progress into ready-to-use and templated summaries for self-reflections, performance reviews, or career conversations.

Instead of relying on memory, people walk into review conversations with real examples at their fingertips. Employees can see and remember their wins, managers save hours pulling everything together, and reviews become faster, clearer, and rooted in everyday contributions.

How teams will actually use these features

• Employees: Answer a simple pulse, feel seen that week, and have real examples captured for 1:1s and reviews.
  
• Managers: Open Team Hub, scan recognition and pulse trends, and take fast, informed action — shout out wins or set a quick 1:1 to support someone.
  
• Managers of managers / People leaders: See aggregated signals across squads to spotlight strong leaders and where coaching or resources are needed.
  
• HR: Move from lagging survey results to continuous, anonymized themes that prove ROI and inform people strategy.
