Peer-to-peer shoutouts tied to your company values, an AI Co-Pilot that writes and nudges, recognition budgets by team so the people closest to the work have something to give, and 25,000+ real rewards. Mobile-first, for the 80% of workers who don’t sit at a desk.
Recognition Central connects the thank-you to something real: a public moment in the feed, the company value it lived up to, and a reward your people actually want.
Peer-to-peer recognition and shoutouts in one company feed, each one tagged to your company values, with an AI Co-Pilot that drafts the message in your company's voice.
Challenges your team claims, streaks and badges, Team Member of the Month, and an engagement dashboard with participation, sentiment and ROI.
The largest premium reward catalog in employee engagement: 25,000+ gifts and experiences, plus Gift of Choice, where recipients pick their own. Points in, real rewards out.
Recognition dies in the blank text box. Say what happened in a sentence and Write with AI drafts a warm, specific message in your company's voice, tags the values it lived up to, and suggests the award. Edit anything, then send.
Pick the person and say what they did. One line is enough.
Drafted in your company's voice, values tagged, award suggested. Change anything before it goes.
In the feed for the whole company, and in your Slack or Teams channel.
Slack channels are noisy. Email gets deleted. The break-room bulletin board is forgotten. Recognition Central is the social home your company never had, on the phone in every pocket.
Culture leaks out one missed moment at a time. Recognition Central puts every birthday and work anniversary for the next 30 days in front of the team, opens the thank-you already drafted, and lets everyone vote for the teammate who carried the month.

Bounties turn culture into a game. Post a challenge — refer a customer, document a process, keep a safety streak, anything you want repeated — set the reward and the deadline, and watch your team go. Gamified, public, and fun.
A recognition program doesn't go quiet because people stopped caring. It goes quiet because the manager who saw the work had nothing to hand out. Fund a team's budget and the manager just spends it, inside a per-recognition cap and an approval threshold you set once. Managers get a number. Finance gets a ceiling.
Participation, sentiment, the recognition gap, dollars-out and how your company values are being lived, rolled up by department, team and individual, with time-series for every metric and CSV or PDF export for the board deck. Show, hide and reorder the widgets, and the layout saves to your profile.

Native Slack and Microsoft Teams: people send and receive recognition without leaving the conversation, and every public shoutout posts into your channels. Employees, departments and managers sync from the HRIS you already run, sign-in runs through your SSO, and we handle the connections for you.
Only what's public in the feed is ever posted. Anything held for approval posts after it's approved.
Recognition Central lives inside the Givenly platform, next to your milestones, gifts and kits, company stores, promo and print. One login for your people, one invoice for finance, and recognition dollars that spend across 25,000+ gifts and experiences.
We set Recognition Central up with you. HR owns it, and there's no engineering work on your side.
One working session sets your company values, the company and team budgets, the Maximum Amount any single recognition can carry, the Approval Threshold above which a manager signs off, and your HRIS and SSO connections.
Roll out to everyone or to a pilot team. The feed, the celebrations and your first bounty go live together, on desktop and on every phone.
Watch the dashboard fill up, set Recognition Targets for your managers, and lift the people and teams that go quiet.
Legacy tools were built for desk workers and treat recognition as a top-down email blast. Recognition Central is mobile-first, peer-to-peer and tied to your company values, it's gamified through Bounties, and it's connected to 25,000+ real rewards your employees actually redeem. The engagement dashboard turns culture into a number you can show your CEO.
It takes the busywork out of recognition. Write with AI turns a one-line prompt into a warm, specific shoutout in your company's voice, tags the value it lives up to and suggests the award, and you can edit anything before it posts. Birthdays and work anniversaries open with a message already drafted. The Co-Pilot also suggests who deserves recognition, including anyone who hasn't been recognized in 30 days, drafts bounty descriptions, success criteria and tiered rewards, and surfaces sentiment trends and value-coverage gaps in the dashboard before they show up in turnover.
Yes. Some teams call these quotas; in Givenly they're recognition budgets. You fund a team's balance and its manager spends against it, alongside the company balance and each employee's personal balance, and all three sit side by side in the top bar. Recognition Targets set the rhythm, for example 5 per month for your VPs, with a nudge for anyone behind. A budget is a spending allowance and a target is a goal, so nobody is forced to hit a number.
Two places. The engagement dashboard rolls dollars-out up by department, team and individual, next to participation and sentiment, and the Manager scorecard lists managers by who has recognized least this month. Inside Recognition Central, Stats shows each person's given and received totals and their giving streak, and the leaderboard has a Top Point Givers view by month or all-time.
No. Approval is threshold-based, not blanket. Recognitions at or above the Approval Threshold you set route to a manager for approval before they post, and everything below posts straight to the feed. The Maximum Amount, the largest recognition any one person can send in a single transaction, keeps a ceiling in place without putting a reviewer in front of every thank-you.
An admin posts a challenge, sets the reward and a deadline, and the team goes after it. Single bounties pay one reward on completion, Tiered bounties pay per tier, Parlay bounties pay one bigger reward when every tier is done, and Accumulated bounties let every action earn points toward the milestone prize. Claims come in from mobile with photos, per-bounty approvers review them with a full audit trail, a live leaderboard keeps it competitive, and approved rewards land in the claimant's wallet.
Yes, natively. People can send and receive recognition without leaving Slack or Microsoft Teams, and public recognitions and shoutouts post into your channels with the message, the values and a link back to Recognition Central. Only what's public in the feed is ever posted, and anything held for approval posts after it's approved.
SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning are standard. We sync employees, departments and managers from the HRIS you already run, including Workday, ADP, UKG, BambooHR, Rippling and Gusto, so the org structure stays current without manual upkeep, and we handle the setup for you.
Days, not months. The platform can be live in 24 hours. One working session with our team sets your company values, the company and team budgets, the Maximum Amount and the Approval Threshold, plus your HRIS and SSO connections, and then you launch to everyone or to a pilot team. There's no engineering work on your side.
Recognition Central is part of the Givenly platform, priced per user per month, with the reward budget on top: you fund whatever amount fits your program. We'll size a proposal with you during the demo.
Security is built into the platform itself. Givenly runs on Amazon Web Services in the United States, with encryption in transit and at rest, and each company's data is kept separate from every other company's. Card payments go through Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 provider, so card data never touches Givenly. We'll complete your security questionnaire, join a review call with your IT team, and send our full security overview on request.
Yes. Recognition Central runs on the white-label Givenly platform, on the same engine that powers our company stores. Your logo, palette and from-name appear on every email, page and mobile screen.
A 30-minute demo, tailored to your headcount and culture goals. We'll size the budget model with you — company, team and personal — and show you the dashboard your CEO has been asking for.
