Employee recognition only works when it reaches people. But too often, the barriers get in the way before it does. A shoutout that never surfaced. A survey a global employee could not take in their own language. A swag redemption that turned into a logistics headache. WorkTango's May 2026 release is your toolkit for removing every one of those barriers.
- Axomo Partnership: Redeem points for branded swag with no inventory, no shipping, no manually maintained swag closet
- MS Teams Integration: See and celebrate recognition without leaving Teams
- 30 Survey Languages: Give every employee a survey experience in their native language
- Seamless Email to Survey: Land directly in your results from a single click
- Auth Rebuild and Easier Admin: Self-serve SSO, built-in MFA, and cleaner user management out of the box
Here's what's new at WorkTango.
Recognition & Rewards built for where work happens
Recognition and rewards programs are only as strong as their reach. When the experience lives somewhere employees are not, the cultural impact of every shoutout gets quietly reduced. This release brings R&R into the tools and workflows your people already use every day.
Axomo partnership: branded swag without the swag closet
Points are only motivating when employees can redeem them for something tangible. But for most HR teams, the logistics of making that happen have always gotten in the way.
WorkTango's new partnership with Axomo removes that entire operational layer. Employees redeem points for high-quality, branded company merchandise, and HR does not manage a single order, coordinate a single shipment, or maintain a single shelf. Admins get white-glove onboarding to build a professional branded catalog in days. Employees get something they can actually wear and use. HR gets the time back to run the program instead of the warehouse.
MS Teams integration: bring recognition into the flow of work
Your team is in Microsoft Teams. That is where decisions get made, projects move forward, and work happens. But when recognition lives in a separate platform, it gets missed. A shoutout posted at 2pm is old news by the time someone logs in to see it. The cultural moment passes before it lands.
WorkTango's upgraded Microsoft Teams integration brings recognition back into the channels where your people spend their day. When someone gets recognized, it shows up in real time, right where their teammates are already working. They can see it, react to it, and celebrate it together without switching apps, without a separate login, and without missing the moment.
For hybrid and remote teams especially, visibility is the difference between a recognition program that builds culture and one that runs quietly in the background. This closes that gap.
Easier admin: put the right tools in the right hands
HR admins can now exclude specific users from user uploads and nightly sync imports, keeping intentional "placeholder" accounts alive in the system, no matter what. This means you can maintain these accounts without them being wiped out during routine data syncs.
This pairs naturally with our Executive Assistant feature, which lets accounts send recognitions on behalf of others. Together, they give you a clean way to represent teams, initiatives, or programs in your recognition activity, without needing a real employee behind every account.
Surveys & Insights built for your entire workforce
A survey program is only as strong as its participation. When employees cannot engage in their native language, or when getting to results requires extra steps, the data you get back does not reflect the full picture. This release closes both of those gaps.
30 survey languages: a survey experience built for every employee
Your workforce spans time zones, cultures, and languages. Your survey experience should too. WorkTango's Surveys & Insights now translates the entire Survey taking experience and library questions in 30 languages, with eight new additions in this release:
- Danish
- English (United States)
- Indonesian
- Malay (Latin)
- Norwegian Bokmal
- Portuguese (Portugal)
- Swedish
- Thai
For multinational organizations that have been waiting to roll out surveys consistently across all regions, this removes the last blocker.
