How engaged is your team?
The Recognition Report gives you the numbers behind the culture. See total tacos given, participation rates, and how engagement is trending — so you can tell at a glance whether your culture of recognition is gaining momentum or needs a nudge.
What you'll see:
- Engagement rate — the percentage of your team actively giving recognition, tracked over time
- Tacos per capita — how much recognition each person is receiving on average
- Top givers and receivers — with trend indicators showing who's up, who's down, and who to celebrate
- Value tag breakdown — see which company values (#teamwork, #innovation, etc.) are showing up most in recognition
Engagement surveys happen once a year.
HeyTaco gives you a new data point every single day.
Are your rewards actually motivating people?
The Rewards Report gives you a full view of your taco economy — how many tacos are being earned, spent, and what people are redeeming them for. If tacos are piling up unspent, that's a signal your reward catalog might need a refresh.
What you'll see:
- Taco economy overview — total earned, spent, and unspent tacos across your team
- Redemption engagement — the percentage of users who have redeemed a reward this period
- Top spenders — who's most actively redeeming, and how much they're spending
- Reward breakdown — which rewards are most popular, with redemption counts and trend indicators

How can I measure the ROI of employee recognition?
