How to: add a reward to a recognition

How admins and managers can add a reward when sending or after sending a recognition.

Adding a reward is a simple, meaningful way to show extra appreciation and make someone’s recognition feel even more special.


Whether it’s to celebrate a big success, a project milestone, or a moment of great teamwork, pairing recognition with a reward helps your employees feel valued and seen for their contributions.

Tip: You can also use rewards strategically – for example, to celebrate poll winners or spark some healthy competition during larger events.


Add a reward when sending a recognition

You can add a reward at the same time you send a recognition.

Step one – Go to Celebration

From your dashboard, open the Celebration hub and click Recognise someone.
