Add an Award Type

Award Types allow you to categorise your employee awards for example: tenure awards, culture-related awards, and performance-related awards.

When you are creating an Award in the platform, you will need to associate this with an Award Type - therefore it is important that you create the Award Typ before you create the Award itself.

Step One

Navigate to the Award Types section of the platform by accessing the Communication module in Administration Mode. The select the AWARD TYPES tab.

🚀 If you are using our new menu feature, hover over the Communication section of the side-bar, then navigate to:

Configuration ➡️ Award Types

Select the ➕ next to Award Types and skip to step three of this guide.

Step Two

Click on the ADD button to the right-hand side of your screen. This will open up the ADD AWARD TYPE pull out drawer.

Step Three

Create a Title for your Award Type, this should be a term which will categorise your awards i.e tenure.

You can associate the award type with a competency. If an award is associated to a competency then it will feed in to that employee's Success Circle if they are given that award.

You can also upload an image for the Award Type.

  When you are creating an Award, the competency and the image associated with the award type will pull through automatically. This can be changed as part of the creation process if you wish to upload a different image or associate the award with a different competency.

Step Four

Click the save button in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen to add the Award Type to the platform.
