Employee Engagement Software
Centered on Recognition
Automate birthday, work anniversary, and holiday eCards for every employee. Add peer-to-peer recognition that works from your intranet. All in one platform — free to start.
Recognition is the most underused engagement lever
Research consistently shows that employees who feel recognized are more engaged, more productive, and less likely to leave. Yet most HR teams still rely on manager memory and quarterly award cycles.
eCardWidget automates the recognition that should happen automatically — every birthday, every work anniversary, every holiday — and gives employees a way to recognize each other year-round. No complicated rollout. No vendor procurement. Free to start.
Milestone recognition running on autopilot — birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, custom events.
Embeddable recognition widget so employees can thank each other anytime — no new logins.
Your logo, your colors, your message templates — eCards that look like they came from your org.
Real-time analytics on send rates, open rates, and engagement activity across the organization.
One platform. Every recognition moment.
From the first-day welcome to the 10-year work anniversary — eCardWidget handles recognition so your HR team doesn't have to.

Common questions
About eCardWidget as employee engagement software.
Is eCardWidget dedicated engagement software or an add-on?
eCardWidget is a standalone employee recognition platform — not a module bundled inside a larger HR suite. That focus means setup is fast, the UI is simple, and recognition actually happens rather than getting buried in a platform nobody opens.
What milestones can eCardWidget automate?
Birthdays, work anniversaries, new hire welcome, 30+ configurable holidays, and custom milestone dates you define. Each trigger type has its own template and can be personalized with merge tags like recipient name, years of service, and manager name.
Does this work for remote and distributed teams?
Yes — and it works especially well for distributed teams where in-person recognition rarely happens. Every employee on your list receives their recognition eCard via email regardless of location, time zone, or whether they're in office that day.
Can we use eCardWidget alongside our existing HR platform?
Yes. Most organizations use eCardWidget alongside their existing HRIS or payroll platform. Export your employee data as a CSV from your current system, upload to eCardWidget, and recognition automation starts immediately. You can also connect via REST API or Zapier for more automated data flows.
How much does eCardWidget cost?
eCardWidget is free to start with no credit card required. Paid plans are available based on team size or send volume. There are no long-term contracts — upgrade or cancel anytime. See the pricing page for current plan details.
