Recognition - Star Badges
Star Badges are the badges you create for recognition in GFoundry. Admins can add, edit, and delete badges, and review badge activity from the Recognition Module dashboard and details page.
What is this article for?
This page provides an overview of the "Start Badges Recognition" feature.
This feature allows team members within an organization to give each other special "Recognition Stars Badges."
These badges serve as a way to offer feedback or a review.
Users can award a star badge to a peer along with a written message, which can be a thank-you note, a review, or even a simple greeting.
What are Star Badges?
Star Badges are the recognition badges your company uses in GFoundry. When you create a badge, you give it a name and an image. That name is the one users will see in the app.
Star Badges also appear in the Recognition Module, where you can review badge activity and open each badge for more details.
How do I create, edit, or delete a Star Badge?
You can manage 'Star Badges' by creating, editing, or deleting them.
There's no limit to the number of stars you can create.
Each star requires a name and an associated image. For optimal appearance, use images that are at least 250x250 pixels and have a transparent background.
Where can I review Star Badge activity?
Stars and reviews given to each user will be publicly visible to the entire community.
You can limit the number of stars and reviews each user can receive through the settings menu.
Additionally, you can configure the settings to allow only managers to give reviews:
Furthermore, you can set the options to allow private reviews. This type of review will only be visible to the user and the manager.
Remember, the "star" ratings gathered from community interactions provide valuable insights.
They help create a map of both formal and informal skills across the organization and identify hidden talents.
What is the Recognition Dashboard?
In the Recognition Dashboard you can have an overview of the Star Badges and Soft Skills attributed as well as the number of users endorsed with Hard Skills.
You will also be able to export reports regarding each endorsement option (Stars, Soft skills or Hard Skills).
What will my users see on the Frontend?
When users navigate to the recognition module page, they will be able to select their team members and search for other users on the platform.
After selecting the person intended to receive a star, users can click the "Give a Star" button. This allows them to choose the type of star and provides the option to write a brief message. Users can also select additional recipients for recognition, fostering team acknowledgment rather than focusing solely on individual recognition.
When users navigate to the "Me" page, they will be able to review the recognitions given to them, along the star badges given as well as other relevant information.
