Badge - Give a Badge

Use an employee's Feedback page to give them a badge for positive recognition. A badge may also have an associated point value. Depending on the portal configuration, users may be able to view their points and a points leaderboard on the Universal Profile - Snapshot page.

Note: Badge & Point Preferences should only be configured by the Division Organizational Unit (OU) type. If Badge & Point Preferences are configured by a different OU type, then the badges will not be available to users to select and grant to others. See Badge & Point Preferences - Badges.
