Partner Appreciation

We’re excited to introduce Partner Appreciation! This innovative feature takes recognition to the next level by empowering third parties such as customers, patients, suppliers, vendors, and contractors to directly celebrate the hard work and contributions of your employees. Partner Appreciation bridges the gap between your organisation and its external stakeholders, creating a broader culture of recognition and appreciation. By showcasing the real-world impact of your employees’ efforts, this feature not only motivates your team but also strengthens your relationships with the people and organisations you collaborate with every day.

This feature is available to all clients and across all feature sets for no additional fee. Simply go to the ‘Add-Ons’ tab in admin to run through a wizard to turn the feature on:
