Systems and Methods for Providing Recognition to an Individual

摘要

An individual can be recognized using recognition messages. Recognition messages can be sent and received using a mobile or other computing device. These recognition messages, which can be in the form of recognition certificates, can include skill icons which identify a characteristic for which the receiving individual is being recognized. The recognition messages may also include or be linked with gift cards to show appreciation to the receiving individual. The ability for employees to include gift cards or the value of included gift cards can be controlled based on a gift card budget and privileges specified by a company.
