I've become a huge fan of the pulse survey.

Small businesses can keep it simple with a tool like BuddiesHR. (Free for companies with less than 10 employees.)

A quick Slack integration allows for pulse surveys using templates, eNPS tracking, polls and comprehensive dashboards and results.

Just because Crowded's team is spread across the globe, doesn't mean that we're not pals 😃 We had our first round of coffee chats this month — where our team was randomly paired up & spent time getting to know each other unrelated to work. Thank you BuddiesHR for the fun tools that make global teams connect 🌎 🤖

I’ve had a really good experience with Billy. It has really streamlined recognition for my team, and it helps to consistently engage the team through birthday and anniversary celebrations without me needing to manage it on a daily basis.

We're super happy with Billy!
I used to do personalised birthday shoutouts myself (as HR) for the whole team of ~70 people, and let me tell you, it was time consuming (gathering input for the shoutout from teams and managers, tracking all birthdays, etc).
Billy saves me so much time and our team still feels valued and celebrated :)

My team members really enjoy Buddies HR. There are multiple different functions (Billy/Celebrations, Clappy/Kudos, Pulsy/Surveys, etc.) in one. It is the first of it's kind.
They are also quick to make updates if you give suggestions! I was pleasently surprised when I received an email that one of my suggestions had been incorporated into the platform.

The Billy bot is great, it saved us the trouble of remembering the exact birthday dates.
The automation is amazing, the setup was easy, I like it. Also the Pulsy is helpful for polls, pretty straightforward.

We like it as (1) it's very user-friendly, we can customize it (2) it has 1 general message in the chat channel with the main stats of the mood and blockers and all the replies are in the thread, I didn't see such an approach in any other daily bot solution - and it's super-useful (3) it automatically fills in the previous work progress! it's great that we don't need to scroll to the previous day message to copy it.

Yes, compared to others I've tested from Slack's Marketplace, so far, like "Birthday app", Billy is doing a great job and it works!!! I love the name "Billy" Needless to say the setup process is quite easy to configure nicely on Workspace and to the channels. Fantastic :D It's also being great as we have a few people on a private channel only for a department ^^ Billy's free license is doing well with these few people :D Thank you so much for your work !!! I really appreciate it.

I recently installed Alfy as a way to pair our design team for pair design sessions and to catch up since we're a remote based company with folks in different regions. Also it reduces the mental load of scheduling something weekly rather keeps things interesting. Alfy's been great! Super easy to set up and has been running seamlessly for a few weeks now.

Alfy has transformed our coffee breaks into an exciting opportunity to meet new colleagues, while Clappy has made recognizing peers' achievements a delightful habit. The only hiccup I've encountered is with Clappy. If there aren't colleagues I feel moved to recognize in a given week, I lose my claps as they unfortunately don't accumulate. It'd be great if they could roll over to the next week.

Integrating Billy into our Slack workspace was effortless, and he's already become a staple for our team. We are about 300+ daily volunteers strong, so Billy is an incredible asset to our org. It's also worth mentioning that their support team is top notch - within hours of sending my inquiry I had heard back from their team with a solution already in place! I cannot speak highly enough of Billy and the BuddiesHR team!
