Tap My Back

Tap My Back is an employee recognition and engagement platform built around the idea that appreciation and feedback should be immediate, informal and available wherever people already work. The product centres on peer-to-peer recognition: any employee can send a "tap" to a colleague at any level of the organisation, attach a customisable badge tied to a company value or behaviour, and share it on a public news feed where the whole team can see and react to it. Alongside recognition, the platform provides a private feedback hub for proactive one-to-one feedback, feedback requests, self-reviews and peer check-in conversations, plus skill badges that support continuous development rather than once-a-year appraisals. Pulse surveys, adjustable survey templates, eNPS questions and an automated mood tracker let managers take the temperature of a team on specific business issues and spot problems early. The tool is delivered as a web app and mobile app and integrates directly with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Chrome and Gmail, so recognition, feedback and surveys can be given without leaving day-to-day tools.

For managers and HR teams, the value sits in the analytics layer. Administrators can review the flow of taps across the organisation over a chosen period, apply filters, and use leaderboards to see who gives and receives the most recognition, which behaviours and values are actually being reinforced, and where engagement is thinning out. Individual and team reports cover recognition activity, feedback hub usage and pulse survey results, and data can be exported or built into custom reports. A rewards module lets companies assign a monetary value to each tap or run periodic rewards for the most-recognised employees, redeemable across a catalogue of more than 600 brands or through a custom internal catalogue. Branding, team structures and manager assignments are all configurable. Tap My Back is aimed at organisations of any size that want a lightweight, low-friction alternative to heavyweight performance management suites, and is most often adopted by distributed and hybrid teams looking to keep recognition visible and culture connected. A free trial is available, with paid plans starting at roughly USD 2 per user per month.
