What Workmates is
Workmates is an AI-powered employee engagement platform for frontline and distributed teams, combining recognition, rewards, internal communication, and engagement listening. Its Recognition plan covers peer-to-peer recognition, custom awards, automated milestones, and access to more than 1,400 global gift cards; reward funding is separate from the subscription. Essential adds announcements, broadcasts, channels, communities, surveys, polls, employee advocacy, and engagement analytics. Premium includes Essential features plus Maya, which can turn a prompt into an announcement or kudos post for review before publication, along with a branded mobile app, personalized journeys, checklists, forms, eNPS, and pulse surveys. Workmates supports live and replay broadcasts for meetings, town halls, and training. It is available on the web, Android, and iOS, with org charts, location views, SSO, and API access. Listed integrations include ADP, UKG, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Slack, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Okta, and OneLogin. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is available. HR Cloud says the platform encrypts data in transit and at rest and supports named privacy and security standards.
