- Inclusivity analytics: how evenly recognition is spread, who hasn't been recognized lately and how it flows between teams.
- Company values: tag a #value in the reason and see which values your team recognizes.
- Giving by reaction: react with your point emoji, or type @name ++.
When Prizebot may suit you better
If your team wants recognition to feel like a game, with raffles, a spin wheel and several currencies at once, Prizebot is built around that.
