This is very cool and a problem worth solving. Rypple is first the startup I heard of that focused on making employees feel good rather than simply tracking them but it only handed out compliments. This seems like the next logical step - to give perks that are tailored towards each person.
Thanks a lot. I'm familiar with Rypple, but I haven't used it to be honest. We're definitely working on something similar, but with a slightly different approach.
We have a feature called Rewards that allow employers to reward employees for going the extra mile. With that feature you can reward one or more employees and tailor the gift and message to them.
That sounds awesome too. One thing you might want to experiment with is the opposite of Rewards - randomly timing perks so that they're unassociated with performance. This approach is shown to work on everything from mice to casino gamblers, otherwise a predictable pattern of wins just become the new normal.
