To set up employee recognition software, you first need to think about the goals and desired outcomes of your employee engagement program and the types of recognition you will include (social, monetary, peer-to-peer). An employee recognition program is an important factor in business success. Frequent, in-the-moment recognition lets employees know their efforts are appreciated, and employees produce better work when they are recognized for it. And, employees are more likely to repeat the behaviors that are recognized and rewarded, helping to reinforce company values and culture. Here are the top 7 actions to take when setting up an employee recognition platform program:

• Design the program
