Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HeyTaco's recognition solutions.

What types of recognition solutions does HeyTaco offer?

HeyTaco offers recognition solutions organized in three ways: by team type (agencies, education, healthcare, financial services, law firms, startups, and tech), by goal (improve engagement, boost morale, build remote culture, reinforce values, reduce burnout), and by moment (onboarding, birthdays and anniversaries, project launches, everyday wins).

How do I choose the right recognition approach for my team?

Start with what matters most to your team right now. If you're in a specific industry like healthcare or education, explore the team-based solutions for tailored guidance. If you're trying to solve a specific problem like burnout or low engagement, browse by goal. If you want to recognize specific moments like onboarding or project launches, start there.

Can HeyTaco work for different team sizes and industries?

Yes. HeyTaco works for teams of all sizes—from small startups to large enterprises—and across industries including agencies, education, healthcare, financial services, law firms, and technology. The peer-to-peer recognition model adapts to how each team actually works.

What's the difference between goal-based and moment-based recognition?

Goal-based recognition focuses on ongoing outcomes you want to achieve—like improving engagement or reducing burnout. Moment-based recognition targets specific occasions—like welcoming new hires during onboarding or celebrating project launches. Both approaches work together to create a complete recognition culture.
