Recognition your frontline will actually use.
Most recognition tools end at the thumbs-up. Recognition Central is built mobile-first for the 80% who never check email — and it's the only platform that pairs recognition with corporate gifting, no-inventory company stores, and 20,000+ rewards your team actually wants.
Lives where your team already works — Slack, Teams, and the HRIS you've already configured.
The recognition problem you inherited.
You bought a recognition tool. Adoption stalled at 30%. Your CEO wants the engagement scores up by Q4. Sound familiar?
of your workforce is deskless
Most recognition tools are built for desk workers. The frontline never logs in — and never gets recognized.
more likely to quit without it
Employees who don't feel recognized in the first 90 days leave within a year. You feel that math in your turnover line.
defensible ROI from legacy tools
Your board wants the culture number. Your tool gives you a usage dashboard. Those are not the same thing.
One place for recognition, rewards, and the data that proves it works.
Built into the Givenly platform. Configured by HR. Loved by frontline employees who finally have a place where they're seen.
Recognition Feed
Peer-to-peer praise that anyone can give. Public, mobile-first, and threaded — recognition becomes a behavior, not a top-down memo.
Bounties
Gamified challenges with single, tiered, or parlay rewards. Turn quarterly goals into a leaderboard your team actually checks.
Engagement Dashboard
13 widgets covering participation, sentiment, top recognizers, dollars-out. Board-deck-ready from day one.
AI Co-Pilot
AI suggests who to recognize, drafts bounty copy, and surfaces engagement risks before they hit your retention number. The engagement analyst your team doesn't have.
Recognition that travels at the speed of work.
Anyone recognizes anyone. No manager bottleneck. Posts appear in the feed, on the dashboard, and on the recipient's profile — and they're attached to the company values you actually care about.
- Tag company values on every recognition (Innovation, Integrity, Teamwork, Customer First — your taxonomy)
- Public feed with reactions, threaded replies, and @mentions
- Cross-posts to Slack and Microsoft Teams channels — recognition shows up where your team already lives
- Optional point award attached — instantly redeemable
- Mobile-native composer so the frontline posts from the field
Goals your team actually chases.
Bounties turn recognition into action. Post a challenge, set the reward, and let your team submit. Three modes built around how real campaigns work.
- Single — one challenge, one reward, first valid submission wins
- Tiered — milestones (Bronze → Silver → Gold) with growing rewards
- Parlay — stack multiple wins in a streak for a payoff
- Per-bounty approvers, mobile submission with photos, full audit trail
The number you bring to the board.
Thirteen widgets, one screen, every cut HR actually needs. Participation rate, sentiment trend, top recognizers, dollars-out, redemption velocity, recognition-by-value.
- Department, team, and individual roll-ups
- Time-series for every metric — show culture moving, not just sitting
- Exportable to CSV / PDF for board decks
- Configurable per-tenant — show the cuts your culture lead cares about
Built for the 80% who never check email.
Frontline employees don't sit at desks — and a tool they can't open in 5 seconds is a tool they don't use. Recognition Central looks and feels like the apps they already use.
- Bottom tab bar — feels like a native app, not a responsive web page
- Full-screen compose flow with camera-roll photo upload
- Push-notification-ready (PWA + native wrapper in roadmap)
- Tables collapse to cards — no horizontal scrolling on a phone
The engagement analyst your team doesn't have.
AI is built into every surface of Recognition Central — suggesting who deserves recognition, drafting bounty copy, and surfacing engagement risks before they hit retention.
- Write with AI — drafts recognition copy from a one-line prompt so the frontline can post in seconds
- Recognition Gap surfacing — flags employees who haven't been recognized in 30 days before they slip
- Bounty drafting — AI proposes challenge descriptions, success criteria, and tiered reward structures
- Engagement risk alerts — sentiment trends and value-coverage gaps surface in the dashboard before they show in turnover

Questions HR leaders ask before signing.
How is this different from the legacy recognition tool we already have?
Legacy tools were built for desk workers and treat recognition as a top-down email blast. Recognition Central is mobile-first, peer-to-peer, gamified through Bounties, and connected to the rewards your employees actually redeem. The Engagement Dashboard turns culture into a number you can show your CEO.
How long does implementation take?
Most customers are live within five business days. You'll do one configuration session with our team (values, approval workflow, point budget) and then we launch to a pilot group. No engineering work on your side.
What does it cost?
Recognition Central is part of the Givenly platform — pricing is per-employee per-month, with the reward budget on top (you fund whatever amount fits your program). We'll size a proposal during the demo.
How does it integrate with our HRIS / SSO?
SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning are standard. We sync employees, departments, and managers from your HRIS so the org structure stays current without manual upkeep.
Is it secure? We have SOC2 / GDPR / data-residency requirements.
Givenly is SOC2 Type II, GDPR-aligned, and supports US data residency. Recognition data is tenant-isolated; no employee data leaves your environment without explicit configuration. We'll send the full security packet on request.
Can we white-label it for our brand?
Yes — Recognition Central uses the same Brand-on-Demand engine that powers our company-store product. Your logo, palette, and from-name appear on every email, page, and mobile screen.
Bring recognition to the 80% who never see it.
A 30-minute demo, tailored to your headcount and culture goals. We'll show you the dashboard your CEO has been asking for.
The Problem with Manual Recognition
Outdated recognition systems are failing employees — and overwhelming HR.
Missed Moments
Birthdays and anniversaries get forgotten or delayed, leaving employees feeling overlooked.
Too Much Admin
HR teams are stuck tracking dates, sending emails, and managing last-minute gifts manually.
Inconsistent Experience
Without automation, recognition is inconsistent — and can feel generic or impersonal.
