Make recognition feel like it belongs in your company.

A custom program gives you the simplicity of Slack recognition without forcing your culture into a generic template.

Your language and identity

Use the name, visual identity, recognition language, and emoji that your team already knows.

Values people can use

Turn company values into useful recognition tags and make the behaviors you care about visible.

A program leaders can run

Give leaders clear reporting, team participation trends, and an easy way to keep momentum going.

Built around your program

What you can customize

Keep the familiar Slack experience. Make everything your employees see feel like your own program.

βœ“Bot name, icon, and visual identity
βœ“The recognition name, emoji, and wording
βœ“Values, categories, and required tags
βœ“Channel prompts and program-specific workflows
βœ“Leaderboards, reporting, and participation views
βœ“A rollout that fits your existing Slack workspace

More than a logo swap

One platform. Entirely different recognition programs.

Change the bot identity, recognition language, values, prompts, and reporting so the experience fits the people you want to engage.
