Giving and Receiving Praise
Open Develop & Perform → Praise leaderboard, or use Give praise on the dashboard. Praise is peer-to-peer recognition: any employee can send a short praise message to a colleague, optionally tagged to one of your company's core values (values are configured in Organization settings). Core Praise is included on Basic/Starter and above and in Careersome Light.
The giving wallet
- Each employee gets a monthly allowance of 100 giving points
- Sending a praise costs 20 points, so you can give up to 5 praises per month by default
- The allowance resets monthly; unused points do not roll over
- Receiving praise costs nothing and is not capped
- If you run out of points, giving is blocked until the next month with a "not enough giving points" message
Where to see it
- Your wallet shows remaining points, your monthly allowance, and praises left
- You can view praise you have received (recent and full history)
- An employee's full praise history on their profile is available on Basic/Starter, Professional, and Enterprise, but not on Careersome Light (
platform.praise.employee_profile)
Leaderboard
A company-wide leaderboard ranks who has received the most recognition. The leaderboard is a higher entitlement than core Praise: it is available on Professional and Enterprise only, and is not included in Basic/Starter or Careersome Light (platform.praise.leaderboard).
Good practice
- Tag praise to a company value to reinforce the behaviours you want
- Spread recognition; the monthly allowance encourages regular, specific praise rather than saving it all up
