Once you login to your Recognize account, you will first see the Stream page. The Stream page of Recognize acts as a live time feed of all of the Recognitions, Birthday and Anniversary Badges that have been sent to employees at your company, as well as any comments, reactions, and '+1's' that go along with those recognitions. You can also see company Announcements from this page.
