Overview

Levels & Badges turns everyday frontline work into motivation. Employees earn XP automatically for the operational behaviors that matter — showing up on time, picking up open shifts, completing tasks and checklists, logging safety observations and inspections, finishing courses and quizzes, completing surveys, and recognizing teammates. XP accumulates across a 60-level progression curve, unlocks named badges across eight frontline-focused categories, and ranks people on monthly and all-time leaderboards scoped company-wide and by location. Unlike Recognitions points, Levels & Badges XP is purely a status signal — it is never spendable and never money, so it can be awarded generously and competed for without any financial risk. Admins enable the categories that fit their workforce, tune XP-per-action values and thresholds, and the engine handles the rest: real-time level-up and badge notifications, idempotent point awards that can never be double-counted or gamed past their daily caps, and nightly leaderboard snapshots. Level-up celebrations post to the notification center, and the whole experience is mobile-first for deskless teams.

FAQ

No. Recognitions points carry real value and are redeemable in the Company Store. Levels & Badges XP is a status signal only — it is never spendable and never money. The two are completely separate systems; recognition activity is simply one of many ways to earn XP.

Operational behaviors that matter for frontline teams: on-time attendance, picking up open shifts, completing tasks and checklists, safety inspections and observations, finishing courses and passing quizzes, completing surveys, and giving or receiving recognition. Admins choose which categories are active.

Awards are idempotent — the same event can never be counted twice — and high-frequency actions have daily caps. Self-recognition is excluded. Because XP is status only and never money, gaming carries no financial risk.

There are monthly and all-time leaderboards, scoped company-wide and by location. The monthly board resets each period (nothing is deleted — it is just a new window), giving everyone a fresh, winnable race while all-time totals persist.
