How to Assign Points to Badges

Recognize offers a points system to help track engagement, create excitement, and enable companies to acknowledge and reward positive employee behavior. The points for receiving a Recognition are controlled by the value or point variant options for the Badge given. The points serve as a reward for different types of user behaviors that your company wants to champion. Badges can also have different point values dependent upon whether the behavior was part of the normal job duty, beyond the call of duty, or to recognize an exemplary performer. Here, we will show you how to assign a point value to a Badge where Recognitions are auto-approved, and in cases where you decide to implement an approval process.
