Setting Up Award Categories/Types for Employee Recognition

Award Types allow you to categorise your employee awards. examples of award types may include tenure, culture-related, and performance-related awards.

When creating an award, you will need to associate an Award Type - therefore, the Award Type is an essential prerequisite to award creation.

Step One

Hover over the Communication section of the sidebar, then navigate to: Configuration ➡️ Award Types. Select the ➕ next to Award Types to open the Add Award Type pop-up.

Step Two

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 with a competency then it will positively contribute to the employee's success circle. You can also upload an image for the Award Type.

When creating an Award, the competency and the image associated with the award type will pull through automatically. These can be configured if you want to use a different image or associate the award with a different competency.
