Bonfyre is a workplace culture platform for building human connections in a modern, more remote workforce. We do this by giving employees the digital space – separate from productivity tools – they need to recreate the casual “water cooler” interactions that build relationships, trust and inclusion. Our platform is an everyday, frontend destination for culture drivers such as team building, recognition, surveys, employee wellbeing, philanthropy, communities of shared interest, and more. And with everything in one place, we identify and suggest the specific actions employees can take – from sharing a photo to recognizing a colleague – to improve business outcomes like retention, satisfaction and performance. Bonfyre is free to download and use, with upgradeable plans for enterprise audiences. Upgrading provides access to dozens of customizable features that support: improved internal communications, gathering feedback through surveys, amplifying employee recognition, facilitating internal events, and accessing analytics to measure the impact of these efforts.
