Our customers love us

“Truly elevated our employee recognition program”

We initially implemented Xoxoday for our Long-Service Awards, but after exploring their social intranet and customer support, we began utilizing additional modules for employee engagement. The platform is excellent, and its extensive Rewards & Recognition options provide employees with a variety of choices.

“Exceptionally smooth launch process”

 A global catalog of e-vouchers on Xoxoday and redemption in multiple currencies helped KPIT immensely with the geographical scalability of their R&R program and the culture of excellence initiative.

“Noticeable positive impact on culture.”

You can build a fancy program on awarding employees and saying thank you, but in the end, the redemption process must be really useful, easy, and user-friendly to your employees. Xoxoday served the purpose just right.

“The customer service that they offer is exceptional and commendable.”

Our employees really like the Xoxoday rewarding process. The customer service that they offer is exceptional and commendable. That was the most important criteria for us to decide on them.
