Can we still give material rewards?

Yes: outside this module, the way you do it now. Nothing here prevents bonuses; the point is that the recognition feed is not the accounting system for them.

How is a badge different from an achievement?

A badge is awarded by the company: tenure, contribution, an event, with rarity levels. An achievement is earned by the person through their own activity. One comes from above, the other is a personal path.

Do employees actually use it?

The barrier is almost never motivation: it is wording. That is why the assistant drafts the text and the automations surface the occasion. Participation is measured in the HR view, including which departments are missing from it.

How much does it cost?

Recognition is included in the TeamEvo plan. Teams of up to 20 people use it free; paid plans start at $2 per employee per month.

Employee recognition

Peer recognition and team thanks

Employees choose quick thanks, meaningful recognition, or team recognition. Add a message and image, then publish it in the feed or send it privately.

Sending recognition

Three ways to recognize a colleague, team, or department

Choose the format that fits the occasion. Send a quick thanks in one action, record the context and result of a meaningful contribution, or recognize a group.

Quick thanks

A short thank-you sent in one action, without a required long message.

For a colleague

Meaningful contribution

The result, contribution type, and company value preserve the context of the work.

For a colleague

Team recognition

Recognition for a team or department that delivered a shared result.

For a group

For every format, the employee chooses whether to publish it in the feed or send it privately. An image can be attached.

Manager and HR reports

Managers see their team; HR sees connections between departments

The manager view shows employees who have not been recognized recently and how recognition is distributed in the selected team. HR analytics shows which departments recognize one another.

The matrix covers the selected period and reports the share of cross-team recognition separately.

Module settings

Company values, prompts, and sending rules

Administrators set company values, sending limits, and recognition weights. A preset can be selected for the organization's size.

AI draft

The assistant suggests wording based on company values. The employee reviews, edits, and sends it.

Occasions

The portal prepares drafts for events such as a work anniversary or an implemented idea. Nothing is published automatically.

Boundaries

Recognition does not award points. Nominations and period awards are not currently available in the interface.

Frequently asked questions

Because recognition and reward are two different mechanisms, and mixing them damages the first one. As soon as thanks earns currency, people optimise for the currency. Points and rewards live in a separate track in our product, and recognition stays clean.
