Recognition - Module Overview
See what the Recognition Module includes and what you can manage as an admin. Use it to configure Star Badges, soft skills, hard skills, and recognition settings.
What is the Recognition Module?
The Recognition Module fosters public recognition between colleagues and helps identify characteristics and skills (and skill gaps) across the organisation.
Users can recognise someone in the company in three ways:
Star Badges (Public acknowledgment & Feedback) – give a colleague a star badge together with a written review. Reviews are public unless private reviews are allowed and the user marks the star as private;
Soft Skills Recognition – endorse colleagues on soft and emotional skills. Admins create the list of soft skills in the backoffice, in Modules > Recognition > Soft Skills;
Hard Skills Recognition – endorse colleagues on hard skills. Each user adds their own hard skills to their recognition profile.
Can I integrate the recognition module with Missions?
Yes. Recognition actions are available as badge triggers in the Gamification Engine (for example Make a review, Receive a specific star badge, Make an endorsement or Endorsement received for specific soft skill). Because mission objectives are based on badges, you can use these triggers to include recognition steps in an onboarding journey, a learning journey or any other mission. See Gamification Engine - Managing Badges and Setting Triggers.
How can I manage Hard Skills?
Hard skills are the technical skills of each user.
Each hard skill is added by the user on their own recognition profile and can then be endorsed by peers and managers with a single button.
Backoffice admins can't add hard skills to a user. In Modules > Recognition > Hard Skills they can rename, merge and delete the hard skills users created, and see who has each skill and who endorsed it.
Can I use the Marketplace with the Recognition Module?
Yes. Associating the Marketplace with a recognition programme can reinforce it with benefits and privileges.
Employees earn virtual coins through badges (including badges triggered by recognition actions) or digital vouchers.
These coins can then be exchanged for rewards in the Marketplace module.
The rewards are the items your organisation creates in the Marketplace, for example vouchers, extra vacation days, leisure experiences or charitable contributions.
