The humanconnectionlayer forcompanies
We help companies invest in real human connection. Individual recognition moments for employees and someone they care about. Group experiences that actually bring teams together. All of it cleverly matched to personality, managed end to end, with zero admin for your People team.
Your team doesn't remember the gift card. They never will.
Companies pour money into perks that vanish the moment they land. Gift cards get spent on petrol. Pizza parties get eye-rolls. Points platforms collect dust. Meanwhile, the one thing people actually want from their employer has nothing to do with a discount code.
They want to feel recognised. Not with a Slack emoji or a templated email, but in a way that reaches into their actual life. The kind of recognition their partner hears about over dinner. The kind that makes someone proud to work where they work.
AI is reshaping every team. Restructures are thinning them out. The companies that win from here aren't just the most efficient. They're the ones where people are genuinely engaged, where retention isn't a spreadsheet problem but a culture one.
Human connection isn't a perk. It's an operating input. The companies that invest in it will outperform. Humanta makes that investment easy.
Two approaches, one thesis
The recognition and perk that creates real memories
Use it as a spot recognition tool or roll it out as a quarterly, biannual, or annual perk for your whole team. Either way, each Spark is a curated moment of dining and an experience for the employee and someone they care about. The manager's personal note travels with every single one.
Recognition or perk
Spot recognition for standout moments, or a recurring perk on a quarterly, biannual, or annual cadence.
AI-matched
We match the experience to who they actually are.
Zero admin
We book, manage, and handle every detail end to end.
Real feedback
Sentiment, eNPS, and photos back to your People team.
Group experiences, minus the scramble
Your team already spends money on group events. We make that investment count. Curated group experiences that take the planning, politics, and last-minute scrambling out of the equation.
How Sparks works
Three people, one great moment
The Manager
2 minutes. That's it.
- Nominate someone on your team. Write them a personal note. Done in 2 minutes.
- No admin, no tracking, no spreadsheets. Humanta handles everything from here.
- Finally, a way to recognise your team that actually lands. Not a voucher they forget, but a moment they talk about for months.
The Employee
Show up. That's the only job.
- You get a message: your manager recognised you. Here's something special.
- Tell us your vibe. Feeling creative, adventurous, or after something low-key?
- We match you with a curated moment. A moody wine bar, then a DJ lesson five minutes down the road. Bring someone you care about.
The People Leader
Set up once. Get data back.
- Set it up once. Allocate credits. Managers do the rest.
- Get feedback data back after every Spark: sentiment, eNPS signals, photos.
- Zero admin. Zero logistics. Zero 'which restaurant should we book' emails.
- Your employer brand and EVP build themselves. Employees and their guests become advocates without you lifting a finger.
The details that matter
We've thought about this more than anyone else
The personal note
The manager writes a personal message. We print it and have it waiting at the table when they sit down for dinner. If dining isn't part of their Spark, we deliver it in a beautifully designed email. Either way, the recognition lands in a way no gift card ever could.
Zero choice paralysis
Employees tell us what they're into and we deliver up to eight curated options matched to their personality. No endless scrolling, no decision fatigue. They pick the one that speaks to them, and we take it from there.
Two ambassadors, not one
Both the employee and their guest walk away with a memory tied to the company. That’s emotional equity no points platform can buy.
Feedback without surveys
After every Spark, we collect sentiment, eNPS signals, and photos. You get a quarterly one-page narrative. Not a dashboard you’ll never check.
