The problem

Thanks nobody sees changes very little.

Most good work gets a quick word in passing, or nothing at all. Long service goes unmarked until someone remembers. Targets sit in a spreadsheet employees never see. Recognition works when it is specific, quick to give and visible to the team.

Peer thanks and badges

Peer recognition people actually use

Anyone in the program can thank a colleague in a few lines, tag a company value and add a badge. Thanks appear in a feed the team can see, like and comment on. Add points if you want them, so a thank-you turns into a reward the person chooses.

  • Thanks tied to your company values
  • Badges that add up on each person's profile
  • A recognition feed with likes and comments
  • Points with each thank-you, if you choose
Example recognition posts with sample data: Priya thanks Sam for fixing a loose guard, with a Safety first badge, and Marco nominates Lee for customer care.
Example data
Example recognition feed with sample data: a peer thank-you, a 10-year work anniversary and an Employee of the Month post.

Nominations and awards

Nominations and awards, run in one place

Set your award categories, open nominations and let employees put a colleague forward with a reason. Your admins review the nominations on the platform and announce the winners to everyone. Run Employee of the Month the same way.

  • Award categories you choose
  • Every nomination comes with a written reason
  • Employee of the Month, with nominations and a winner
  • Winners announced in the recognition feed

Milestones

Service milestone awards and life events

Mark work anniversaries at one, five, ten years and beyond, and other life events. Choose the reward for each milestone: points, a cash reward, or a choice of rewards from your catalog, including gift cards. Approve each award yourself, or let it approve automatically.

  • Service milestones counted from the start date you choose
  • Points, cash or a choice of catalog rewards for each milestone
  • Automatic or manual approval
  • A congratulations message the whole team can see
  • Start dates and other HR events can award points through our points API

Engage and learn

Surveys, quizzes, news and events that keep people coming back

Ask your people what they think, share news and documents, run events and collect ideas, all on the site where they see their thanks and points. Each action can earn points, so taking part is rewarded too.

  • Surveys

    Build a survey, choose who receives it and see the results.

  • Mood meter

    A quick check on how people feel, as often as you choose.

  • Quizzes

    Check what people took in from a document or a briefing.

  • News and documents

    Share updates, policies and guides, and email participants in your name.

  • Events

    Invite people, record who attended and award points for attending.

  • Ideas

    Employees put forward ideas, and you choose which to take further.

Incentives and KPIs

KPI rewards, challenges and leaderboards

Set targets for a person, a team or a dealer, choose how often each one runs and attach points for meeting it, with more for going above. Run challenges with a leaderboard so everyone sees where they stand. Record results on the platform, or send them through our points API.

  • Targets for people, teams or dealers, on the schedule you choose
  • Points for meeting a target, and more for beating it
  • Challenges with a leaderboard and a winner
  • Results recorded by admins, or sent through our points API
  • Running targets for dealers and resellers? See Channel and dealer incentives
