How It Works
Recognize
Users give out badges attached to peer-to-peer recognition. Badges control the value of the recognition, who can give it out, and how often. If using monetary recognition, points can be redeemed for digital gift cards.
Terryberry
Users give monetary or non-monetary recognition by choosing an award level, each with it's own point value and eligible givers and receivers. Earned points can be redeemed for gift cards, physical products, experiences, or donations.
