Company values were stress tested in 2020! People around the world called on employers to publicly denounce racial injustice and remedy their toxic company cultures.

To get a better sense of how Bonusly customers' company cultures evolved in 2020, we compared the most popular Company Value Hashtags set by Bonusly admins to the values that users recognized most often. The results were very encouraging:

Do you see how #collaboration ranked eighth among companies but second among Bonusly users? 🤩 Bonusly admins can track these kinds of trends with Bonusly Analytics, getting insight into the company values their employees exhibit often and value the most.
