Managing Awards and Badges

Where to Find: Grow → Awards and Badges → Manage

The Manage section is designed for HR managers and administrators to create nominations and manage award processes. Here, you can track each award throughout its lifecycle, from draft to completion.
Before getting started, make sure your award types are configured in the Settings section.
At the top of the page, you will find a dashboard that provides a clear overview of your awards:
Navigation Tabs: Toggle between Ongoing Nominations and Drafts to quickly find the awards you need.
Status Cards: These summary cards show the number of awards in each status within the Ongoing Nominations tab, including All Awards, Active Awards, Upcoming, Ready for Decision, and Completed.
Filter by Status: Use the dropdown menu above the list to filter nominations by status and quickly find the items you need.
Add Button: Click the + Add button to create and define new nomination processes.

Below the dashboard, you can view your list of awards. Each entry displays key details like the award name, the creator (or owner) of the award, and relevant dates (Nomination or Voting periods). You can click the Voting Board button to access award details, review nominees, and manage the final selection.

Note on Drafts: When you select the Drafts tab, the list view updates to show awards currently in the setup phase. Here, you can continue editing (by clicking on the award name), add or remove nominees, or click Activate to move an award into the Ongoing Nominations workflow.

The status counters and the indicators within the list view reflect the current state of your awards:

  • Draft: The award is being set up and is not visible to employees.
  • Upcoming: Configuration is complete; waiting for the start date.
  • In Nomination: Nomination period has started: this is a public nomination, open to all employees.
  • Nomination Closed: New submissions are no longer accepted.
  • In Voting: The voting period is active; users can cast votes.
  • Ready for Decision: Voting has ended; manager action is required to select a winner.
  • Completed: The process is finished, and the winner is finalized.
Every award follows a structured progression from creation to completion. Understanding this cycle helps you manage your processes effectively:

  • Setup Phase: You initiate the process in Drafts, where you define parameters and assign nominees.
  • Launch Phase: Once activated, the award enters the Upcoming status, waiting for the scheduled dates.
  • Active Phase: As dates arrive, the system automatically transitions the award into In Nomination and In Voting stages.
  • Finalization Phase: Once the period ends, the award moves to Ready for Decision for final selection and eventually to Completed.
