Create Programs

A recognition program or award program enables employees to appreciate the contributions and achievements of their colleagues.

Recognitions mainly happen among peers. Mangers send awards to the employees, and the award include something valuable such as points or cash.

To enable employees to send recognitions and awards, you need to create at least one program. You use the Recognition and Award Programs page to create and manage such programs.

Click Navigator > My Client Groups >Show More> Configure Programs. Add Program. You can find the page under the Celebrate section.

Here are the common features available in recognition and award programs:

• Usage of reward points.
• Availability of program owners so that the program applies to everyone in the owner’s organization.
• Eligibility profiles to restrict the program recipients. Click Add Profile to add eligibility profiles. Select the check box named Required if you want to mark the eligibility profile as mandatory when evaluated. If the check box isn’t selected, the eligibility profile is considered optional.
• Core values that employees can use as a basis to appreciate their colleagues.
• Images that employees can include in their award.

As part of the recognition program, you can also set up a Quick Recognition template. The quick recognition template allows employees to recognize their colleagues more easily by using a prefilled template. In the template, you include a core value, an image, and a default headline and message. Also, you can use AI Assist to help you in writing the message for a recognition.

As part of the award programs, you can select the award type as reward points, cash, or other type. If you select Cash as the Award Type, you need to select a payroll element or click Add Payroll Element. Cash awards are paid through element entries.
