What is the 4-Point Culture Plan?
It’s Givenly’s plan for running company culture as one connected program, in four steps: 1) Swag Out Your Team with premium branded gear, 2) Welcome Them with day-one kits and business cards, 3) Recognize Them with milestones from your HR system and peer Shoutouts, and 4) Reward Them with 25,000+ gifts and experiences they choose. One solution runs all four, under your brand.
What should a company culture plan include?
The moments every employee feels: how they’re equipped to represent the brand, how they’re welcomed, how their work and milestones are recognized, and how they’re rewarded. A good plan makes those moments repeatable, so they happen for everyone and on time, not only when someone remembers.
Do we have to start with all four steps?
No. Each step is powered by Givenly programs you can run on their own, so you can start with one and add the others later on the same login. Running them together adds one employee record, one wallet and one dashboard across the whole plan.
Which step should we start with?
Start where the pain is. Teams often begin with a company store when swag orders are a scramble, with recognition when people feel unseen, or with milestones when anniversaries keep getting missed. Every step you add builds on the same login and the same employee data.
Does the plan connect to our HR system?
Yes. Givenly syncs with HR systems like Workday, ADP, UKG, BambooHR, Paylocity, Rippling and Gusto, and with any HR system that can send a scheduled file. New hires, birthdays and work anniversaries then drive the welcome, recognition and reward steps automatically.
How do we measure whether it’s working?
Recognition Central’s dashboard shows participation and recognition activity, and reporting covers store orders, gift redemptions and wallet spend, with exports for finance. Together they show whether the plan is reaching people, not just whether it was bought.
Who runs the plan internally, HR or marketing?
Usually People and HR own welcome, recognition and milestones, while marketing or brand owns the swag and promo side. Because it’s one solution with roles and permissions, both teams work from the same plan without stepping on each other.
How is this different from buying swag or a recognition tool?
A point tool covers one moment. The 4-Point Culture Plan connects all four to one employee record and one HR connection, so the right thing happens automatically at the right time, and you replace a stack of vendors with one partner and one invoice.
Is our employee data secure?
Givenly runs on AWS in the United States, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and keeps each company’s data separate. Card payments are handled by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1). We’ll complete your security questionnaire and join a review call with your IT team.
