What are awards?

Awards are an impactful way to recognize an amazing team member contribution with a powerful public display / memento that aligns to your organizations culture & values. By creating awards that align to values and attributes that your organization reinforces, managers will be able to recognize the moment with the perfect celebration. At creation, awards are customized to align to your organizations culture and can optionally be associated with a point value. Points can of course be redeemed by the recipient for the rewards catalogs that you've enabled.
