Analytics 

Use our analytics and leaderboards to get a snapshot of who is receiving recognition on your team and the company values that are tied to the recognition.

Protip: Use the leaderboard to see if anyone on your team is possibly not being recognized or included. If there's someone not getting recognized, look into the situation to see why that might be and see how you can support them -- It could be a number of solvable issues. For example it could be that their work is less visible or that they don't have many opportunities to collaborate.

Manager Digest

Our Manager Digest gives managers a quick and personal overview of their team's engagement and gets sent directly to their inboxes every week. This email provides a weekly snapshot of bonus activity, top team hashtags, and upcoming birthdays and work anniversaries. With quicker access to their team analytics, managers can gain valuable insights to boost collaboration, recognize employee efforts, and stay connected!

Profiles

It can be hard to know what employees are working on, especially if you have many reports or an autonomous work culture. The profile page gives you a snapshot of bonus activity, interactions with other users, as well as top hashtags, and achievements a user has earned.

The user activity page is a great place to find information to support performance reviews and career development. You can scroll through the recognition activity to review performance over time to see the entire picture of an employee's work not just the most recent activity. This can help to reduce recency bias in reviews.
