The Broken Feedback Economy (And How To Fix It)

There is an episode of Netflix's "Black Mirror" devoted entirely to a review-based society. In the near future, every interaction with any individual - personal, professional, or even in passing - is subject to a 5-star rating system. Those with high social scores are desperate to maintain that score, while those with low scores are subject to ridicule and are cast out of mainstream society. The message of the episode, in typical "Black Mirror" fashion, is that reviews should not dictate every facet of life, and that it is liberating to free yourself from that system: so why don't we?

Now, real life is not "Black Mirror", thankfully. But the fact remains that reviews still play a huge role in employee success, but our current systems simply don't encourage positive interaction. In other words, the deck is stacked against the employee!

In fact, many studies show that our review ecosystem as it currently exists practically begs to be abused, be that by trolls or by disgruntled customers whose expectations were not met. Is that really fair, though? Shouldn't reviews be a place to express gratitude, share meaningful feedback, and connect with one another?

The developers of Aplauso certainly thought so, and they have made repairing this broken system their primary mission. The latest update to their platform makes it easier than ever for customers to share their thoughts - and support the service workers in their lives directly.

Introducing: Dynamic Shifts

Dynamic Shifts, a new suite of features designed specifically for the transportation industry, arrives on the Aplauso platform, a system offering users multiple ways to express their gratitude to service workers in a wide range of industries outside of traditional tipping culture.

With Dynamic Shifts, rideshare and transportation customers can directly tip their drivers, leave feedback, and review their experiences, all through a streamlined digital experience.

Repairing The Rift

While platforms such as Uber and Lyft do not withhold a portion of a driver’s tips, studies show that only about 1 in 4 riders actually leave a tip in the first place. Many have pointed to the design of these apps as a possible culprit, as the interface requires an extra interaction on the part of the customer to leave a tip.

To solve this problem, Aplauso's new Dynamic Shifts functionality seeks to create a tipping and review ecosystem that exists independently of the rideshare platforms themselves. In doing so, riders can more directly support their drivers, and those drivers can access high-quality feedback from their customers that larger platforms may not otherwise provide.

All in all, these features bring customers closer than ever before to the workers who give their time and energy to help them, repairing the relationship that major platforms seem to have damaged.

A spokesperson elaborates further: “For drivers, it’s about feeling seen. It’s about knowing that your efforts are not just part of the job but are recognized and appreciated by the very people you serve. This recognition doesn’t just make a difference in earnings—it makes a difference in motivation, pride, and job satisfaction.”

Tools You Can Use

The system is not solely intended for the rideshare industry, however; rather, it is compatible with smaller private and public transportation companies as well. The Dynamic Shifts toolkit offers you, as the owner of an independent company, advanced insights into your workforce in the form of direct customer feedback and revenue analysis.
