Are you tired of users asking, "How many points should I give for this?" or worrying about inconsistent award amounts across teams? Even with clear guidelines, users often forget or ignore external rubrics, leading to unequal recognition.
This week's tip is a sneak peek at a massive upcoming feature—the Giving Guide—designed to solve the consistency problem by bringing your custom award rubric directly into the platform!
What is the Giving Guide? 🤔
The Giving Guide transforms your manual point guidelines into an interactive, in-platform recommendation engine.
When a user goes to give recognition, they simply answer a few quick questions (called metrics) you've defined, such as:
- What was the overall Impact of this action?
- How much Effort was involved?
- Which company Value did this action best exemplify?
Based on their answers, the Giving Guide instantly provides a recommended award amount, eliminating the guesswork and ensuring every award is fair and equitable.
Why You Should Start Planning Now ✅
The Giving Guide is releasing next week! To hit the ground running, now is the time to gather your source material:
Action Item | Why It Matters |
|---|
Review Existing Rubrics | Do you have an internal PDF or document detailing appropriate award amounts? This will become your in-platform guide. |
Identify 3-4 Key Metrics | What are the most important factors for your givers to consider (e.g., Impact, Effort, Alignment to Values)? These will be your guide's questions. |
Ensure Award Presets Exist | The Guide maps its recommendations directly to your program's existing Award Presets (e.g., $25, $50, $100). |
By standardizing point distribution, the Giving Guide will boost your program's integrity and value, making recognition more meaningful for everyone.
