BuddiesHR Features

Pulse Surveys And eNPS

Pulsy allows teams to run polls, surveys, and Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) measurements inside Slack. It sends automated reminders and shows results in real time. The app collects responses without requiring external logins and stores answers even if incomplete.

Org Chart And Directory

Linky builds an organizational chart and employee directory directly in Slack. Users add and edit employee fields, view teams and hierarchy, and search profiles with simple commands. Linky notifies when information is missing to keep data up to date.

Vacation And PTO Requests

“Human style recognition platform”

Pros

What I personally enjoy is how communication feels more human even when it's simple. Messages come as short updates, often paired with GIFs but they still feel meaningful. They arrive at the right time and make recognition feel more natural. I also like that it saves me a lot of time since I don't have to manually write individual messages anymore.

Cons

No downsides stand out for me so far and I feel everything is working great in my usage.

“All in one engagement”

My team also responds positively to the platform since it combines different features in one place like recognition, celebrations and surveys. It feels well-rounded for daily use and I've even seen suggestions get implemented after sharing feedback which made the experience feel more engaging for me.

Cons

I haven't had any issues or complaints and whenever I've had questions, customer support has been quick to respond and help me out.

“simple automation polling tool”

Pros

Automation is something I really value here and I found setup to be simple. I also use the polling feature often and it feels easy and direct when I need quick input from my team.

Cons

Nothing negative comes to mind at all and I do think it would be helpful if there was a simple menu showing all features or available bots when installing a new one, just to make navigation easier for me.
