How a program runs

Configure once. Run on repeat

Three steps from a blank dashboard to a reward program that runs itself, and reports back when every campaign ends.

Customize the Reward Cycle with start date, announcement, nomination window, and end date

Decide what to recognize

A quarterly performance award, an innovation honour, an annual culture milestone. Every program starts with the moment your culture wants to mark.

Built for HR teams running real programs

Every tool you need. None of the busywork

Configure the campaign, schedule the program, govern fairness, brand the announcement, all in one guided flow.

Campaign builder

Build the program in one guided flow

Name the program, pick the awards, set the budget, toggle nomination limits in one place. Templates clone the next program from the same setup.
