Behavioral & Mental Health Recognition Software | Nectar
1,400+ Organizations Building Culture With Nectar
Compassion Fatigue Is a Retention Crisis in Disguise
In behavioral health, the challenges your staff navigate on behalf of their clients have a way of accumulating invisibly. And when your organization doesn’t have a consistent practice of recognition, the cost shows up in turnover data that no one wants to explain to a board.
Turn First-Year Hires Into Long-Term Team Members
Engagement survey scores reveal dissatisfaction, but without a structured culture of ongoing recognition, the path from data to action stays murky.
Low Morale Is Costing More Than You Think
Replacing a single registered nurse costs between $40,000 and $60,000 in recruiting, training, and lost productivity — and turnover in hospital settings often runs 15–30% annually.

"We used to spend up to two days each month manually recognizing employees for birthdays and anniversaries. Now, Nectar handles all of that automatically, which has been a huge time-saver" -Hannah Rutt
Recognition That Respects the Confidentiality of Clinical Work
Clinical recognition is different. Nectar doesn’t ask your counselors to share client information or detail the specifics of what made a session exceptional. Shoutouts are tied to observable behaviors and values — the way a colleague showed up for a difficult team meeting, the resilience they demonstrated after a hard week, the extra care they took with a family in crisis.
- Values-based shoutouts — compassion, resilience, collaboration, professionalism
- Peer recognition for handling complex caseloads with grace and dedication
- Leadership spotlights for staff who demonstrate exceptional dedication or support colleagues through difficulty
- Under 60 seconds to send — designed for clinicians who have no time to spare

Invest in Your Staff’s Wellbeing, Not Just Their Patients’
If there’s one thing behavioral health leaders understand, it’s the cost of neglecting wellbeing. Nectar’s Challenges feature gives your organization a tangible way to support staff wellness — with opt-in challenges that make self-care feel rewarded rather than prescribed.
- Wellness challenges tailored to clinical staff: mindfulness, physical activity, journaling, self-care
- Points for participation — not just performance — so every team member can benefit
- Opt-in format that respects clinicians’ already demanding schedules and obligations
- Leadership participation to model the culture from the top
Build One Culture Across Every Location and Service Line
Whether you operate a single residential program or a network of outpatient, PHP, and IOP sites across a region, Nectar creates a recognition culture that transcends individual locations. Staff across all programs can recognize each other, share wins, and connect to a shared set of values that holds the organization together.
- Company-wide recognition feed visible across all sites and programs
- Location and team tagging so recognition can be directed and tracked by program
- Consistent values reinforcement regardless of service line or geography
- Cross-site peer recognition that builds connection across the organization
Understand Where Your Culture Needs the Most Support
Leadership in behavioral health needs more than gut instinct to identify where staff are struggling before they leave. Nectar’s built-in analytics and employee listening tools give clinical and HR leaders quantitative visibility into engagement patterns — by site, by program, and by team.
- Recognition heatmaps by department, program, and site
- Trend data to correlate recognition activity with turnover patterns over time
- eNPS and pulse surveys through Nectar Engage to measure staff sentiment
- Manager recognition activity reporting to identify where support may be needed

“I credit Nectar with keeping our engagement from taking a huge hit during challenges that the business has faced. Like many companies, we went through a huge cost saving exercise over the last 6 months... but I will tell you it was NEVER an option for leadership to consider canceling or changing the Nectar contract. It's too important to who we are.”
