Your team takes it from there

The first kudos prompt and pulse check go out on their own. Nobody needs onboarding itโ€™s just Slack messages.

Native, not bolted on

Your team never has to
leave Slack.

Most HR tools send a notification with a link to their portal. BuddiesHR does the whole thing asking, answering, celebrating inside Slack.

Respects how Slack works

Time zones, quiet hours, do-not-disturb. BuddiesHR never spams a channel or pings someone at 3am.

๐Ÿงฉ Modular

Start with one app.
Add the next when you're ready.

Most People Platforms are all-or-nothing. You buy the full suite, pay for 7 things, and use 2. BuddiesHR is the opposite.

โœ“
Each module stands alone.
Start with Clappy for recognition. Or Pulsy for surveys. Or Billy just to stop forgetting birthdays.
โœ“
Each module works together.
Install a second and they share data, recognitions feed into reviews, org chart feeds into surveys, and so on.
โœ“
Each module is independently priced.
$1/user/month for any single app. $2/user/month for the full Culture OS suite. $3 if you want SimplePerf included. No bundling games.

Living in Slack/Teams is what gets your team to use it, but HR needs more than a chatbot. Every BuddiesHR module comes with a real web platform: dashboards, analytics, segmentation, templates, org chart, review cycles, exportable reports.

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

We love this little app at Travalyst, it makes enhancing our remote-first team culture so easy, and helps bring some joy and levity to their working weeks.

Clappy was recognised multiple times at our Company All-Hands as a valuable tool that has reinvigorated our recognition culture. We're thrilled with the impact it's had!

My team really enjoy BuddiesHR, multiple functions (Celebrations, Kudos, Surveys...) in one. They're also quick to make updates: I was pleasantly surprised when a suggestion of mine was incorporated into the platform.

One general message in the channel with the main stats of mood and blockers, and all the replies in the thread, I didn't see such an approach in any other daily bot solution. It's super useful.

I used to do personalised birthday shoutouts myself for the whole team of ~70 people, and it was so time consuming. Billy saves me so much time and our team still feels valued and celebrated.

I installed Alfy to pair our design team since we're remote across regions. It reduces the mental load of scheduling something weekly. Super easy to set up and it's been running seamlessly.
