It adds consistency and excitement. With ChangeEngine, recognition isn’t sporadic or easily forgotten – you can regularly celebrate wins across the company with eye-catching announcements. The platform makes it simple to acknowledge everything from daily kudos to major awards, ensuring recognition becomes a natural, frequent part of your culture.

Many of them! You can automate work anniversary messages, birthday wishes, welcome messages for new joiners’ first day, or congratulations for certifications and promotions. Essentially, any recurring milestone or achievement can trigger an automatic kudos. For example, when an employee hits their 1-year anniversary, ChangeEngine can instantly send them a celebratory note (and maybe loop in their manager to add a personal message).

Yes, and that’s what makes recognition meaningful. ChangeEngine lets you include personal details – the employee’s name or their specific accomplishment or milestone. So instead of a generic “Great job, team,” each person gets a tailored pat on the back that feels sincere.

A whole range: you can create digital award certificates, craft an “Employee of the Month” spotlight email, and even graphics for company-wide announcements of big wins. The platform’s templates might include things like a Shout-out template (with space for a photo and praise text) or a milestones timeline for someone’s career highlights. All of these look polished and can be branded to your company.

You can encourage peer recognition by making it part of your communications. For instance, you might send out a monthly email asking “Who went above and beyond for you this month? Nominate them!” with a link to a quick form. Once peers submit shout-outs, you can use ChangeEngine to broadcast those stories – like a “Team Shout-Outs” newsletter featuring quotes from employees. This not only empowers everyone to participate in recognition but also spreads positive stories that others can read and celebrate.

If you give points or badges through another system, you can coordinate communications around that. Or if you want to send a digital gift card or swag as part of a thank-you, you can incorporate that into a ChangeEngine email or message. The idea is that the act of recognition (through communication) and the reward (like a gift) can go hand-in-hand seamlessly.

Because you can set them and forget them. Once you input dates like birthdays or work anniversaries, ChangeEngine will handle the rest – sending a message on the day or reminding managers to take action. You can also set quarterly reminders for managers to do performance shout-outs or yearly reminders for award nominations. This way, important opportunities to recognize someone never slip by unnoticed, even during busy times.

Definitely. You have control over the look and feel of all the templates. You can include your company logo, use your brand colors, and maintain the tone of voice that fits your culture (whether that’s fun and casual or more formal). So when an employee receives a recognition message, it’s not only heartfelt – it also looks like it truly came from your company, not a third-party tool.

ChangeEngine isn’t just for HR—it’s designed to make recognition effortless for managers, too. The platform automates timely reminders to managers, prompting them to acknowledge key employee milestones at the right moment. It also provides ready-to-use templates, both visual and text-based, to help managers quickly personalize and send recognition messages without friction (or excuses).
