Here you can turn on/off key features on the Applauz platform. By default, most are turned off.
Enable automatic event announcements
To enhance your Employee Recognition Program, we recommend turning the first three features on.
The announcement of employee birthdays and anniversaries on the Newsfeed is highly recommended! These reminders help managers never forget an important employee event.

Turning on additional features
That said, additional features are turned off by default as they require the purchase of Applauz Points to work.
Rewarding employees with Applauz Points will help you take recognition to the next level. Buying Applauz Points is simple--you can do it directly on the settings page by clicking "Buy Points."
Assuming you decide to boost your recognition program with Applauz Points. In that case, you can turn on the following features in your Program Options once Points are purchased:
- Rewards Marketplace
- Gift Cards
- Company Perks
Turning on Service Awards
Lastly, Service Awards helps companies honour their employee's milestone anniversaries.
Enabling "Service Awards" in Program Options will simply make the "Service Awards" menu appear in the main navigation bar. Nothing more.
From there, you may click on the "Service Awards" menu in the main navigation bar. Inside the menu, they can configure the program by selecting milestones of their choice (example: 3-years, 5-years, and 10-years anniversaries) and purchasing Gift-Vouchers.
