Company values were stress tested in 2020! People around the world called on employers to publicly denounce racial injustice and remedy their toxic company cultures.

To get a better sense of how Bonusly customers' company cultures evolved in 2020, we compared the most popular Company Value Hashtags set by Bonusly admins to the values that users recognized most often. The results were very encouraging:

2020's most popular values by Bonusly hashtag. Set by companies: teamwork, leadership, problem solving, innovation, customer service, vision, integrity, collaboration, passion, excellence. Recognized by users: teamwork, collaboration, thank you or thanks, leadership, problem solving, execution, excellence, passion, integrity, customer service
