How to: add a reward to a recognition

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

Updated this week

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.

Step two – Fill in your recognition details

Choose who you want to recognise, write your message, and add a Celebration or Value tag if your organisation uses them.

Step three – Add a reward

In the Boost your recognition by adding a reward! section:

  • Use the dropdown to choose which budget the points will come from

  • Enter how many points you’d like to give

  • Tick the box to confirm you understand rewards can’t be reversed

You can choose to send now or send later before selecting Recognise.


Adding a reward after sending a recognition

You can also add a reward to a recognition that’s already been posted.

Step one – Find the recognition

From your Celebration feed, find a recognition where you’d like to add a reward and click Add a Reward.
