Challenge
José Rivera

Operations Manager and Customer Support Manager
"Initially, our team frequently exchanged messages of gratitude or thanks, but these interactions were largely confined to private messages. This informal method kept recognitions hidden from the broader company view, contrary to our intention of fostering a culture of open recognition. Seed.HR has become a catalyst for change, enabling public acknowledgment of accomplishments and company values across our global team. This has been particularly uplifting for morale, especially in the current landscape of remote work where such celebrations of team spirit are invaluable."
The tipping point
José: "The revision of our company values coincided with the development of an internal recognition program. We envisioned a system that not only aligned with our performance evaluations but that also embodied our redefined values. However, we soon realized that a manual approach could lead us to inefficiencies and potential underutilization. The Seed.Hr program seamlessly integrates with Slack, which is already ingrained in our daily operations, and was the ideal pivot we needed. It has significantly simplified the process and increased the visibility of peer recognitions, reinforcing our values in a dynamic and engaging way."
