ST. LOUIS, June 19, 2025 – Bonfyre was named today the “Overall HR Solution of the Year” in the 2025 RemoteTech Breakthrough Awards. The awards are conducted by RemoteTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization honoring excellence in technologies that empower remote work and distributed teams around the globe.
Engagement and recognition are essential parts of maintaining talent, with retention 31% higher in companies with strong employee cultures. Though it’s a challenge for companies to do this well at scale. Enabling leaders to know what daily and weekly actions to take to engage their teams is difficult. Plus many organizations have manual, inefficient processes for recognizing teammates’ contributions and key milestones.
Bonfyre transforms how organizations build connection, appreciation and alignment. With automated reminders and pre-built actions sent to leaders in the flow of work (from Bonfyre’s Culture Coach), along with seamless recognition processes and no-fee rewards options, Bonfyre allows organizations to increase engagement and recognition activity by 2x and save 20% compared to current solutions on the market.
RemoteTech Breakthrough performs a comprehensive evaluation of remote technology solutions, recognizing the creativity, hard work and success of companies in this space. This year’s award program attracted thousands of nominations worldwide, with winners in other categories including Mitel and WalkMe.
“This award is a testament to our team’s relentless focus on enabling great managers and empowering authentic workplace culture. I’m so proud of the people at Bonfyre,” says Mark Sawyier, co-founder and CEO. “We engage every employee in the channel that’s best for them – Microsoft Teams, Android/iOS, QR code and more. Plus we offer rewards employees actually want – over 800 full value digital gift card options across 80 countries. We are honored to be recognized by RemoteTech Breakthrough for these advancements we’ve brought to the employee experience.”
