Four moves. Zero friction.

Inside Slack or Teams, on web, on mobile. Recognition that takes thirty seconds and compounds for years.

Recognize

Send a Drop from Slack, Teams, web, or mobile. Tag values. Thirty seconds, done.

Reward

Points convert to gift cards, custom rewards, or charitable donations. Employee chooses.

Amplify

Public Feed with reactions, replies, and tags. Recognition that doesn't disappear into a DM.

Analyze

Dashboards show value trends, overlooked people, and culture-health signals.

01·Peer-to-peer recognition, modern

Core values, operationalized.

Team Tags turn abstract values like 'ownership' or 'care' into measurable signals. You finally see which values live and which are wall art.

  • Custom tags mirror your values — edit any time
  • Trend analysis on value usage by team, site, and manager
  • Cultural blind-spot alerts when values go silent
#ownership
02·Strategic recognition tools

Automated milestones nobody forgets.

Anniversaries, birthdays, project completions surface automatically — with a recognition card your team actually fills out.

  • Auto-celebration cards for every milestone
  • Colleagues contribute in-line, no chasing needed
  • Nobody falls through the cracks, ever

  • Thematic Seasons tied to business priorities
  • Leaderboards, milestones, finale celebrations
  • Rewards and charitable donations baked in

Shipped, scaled, loved.

Drops replaced our internal Slack channel that nobody read. Recognition is a visible feed now, not digital confetti.

Quick answers for the RFP.

  • Yes, both are first-class integrations. You can send, receive, and react to Drops without leaving your chat client.

  • Yes. Team Tags are fully custom. Most teams launch with 5–7 tags mirroring their cultural principles and can add or rename any time.

  • Points ride a fixed conversion. Employees spend in the marketplace — gift cards, custom rewards, or charitable donations via the Game of Good Deeds.

  • All Drops, points issuances, and redemptions are logged with immutable audit trails. Core plan and up includes admin export.

Recognition that moves the needle.

See what your team looks like when every win is visible.
