What is Awards & Nominations?

Awards & Nominations is WorkTango's formal awards program for larger recognition moments such as employee of the quarter, culture awards, leadership honors, and service recognition. The full lifecycle runs in one place, from building the award and collecting nominations to routing them to a review committee, declaring a winner, and publishing the result to the activity feed and the winner's profile, without leaving WorkTango's Recognition & Rewards platform.

Formal recognition, start to finish

  • Complete the entire process in one place. After nominations and review, when a winner is named, it posts automatically to the activity feed and a permanent badge lands on their profile. No export, separate tool, or extra login.
  • Share decisions with stakeholders. Nominations route to a subcommittee for review. Members see each other's endorsements during the review window, before you make the final call.
  • Give formal recognition its own spotlight. Award wins appear in the same activity feed employees check for everyday recognition, so a formal program gets the visibility it deserves.
  • Turn a one-time build into a repeatable program. Set custom nomination questions once per award. Duplicate the award and the badge, name, questions, subcommittee, and eligibility carry forward. Only the dates change.

How does Awards & Nominations work?

Build the award

Add a name, tagline, and description. Choose one of 12 built-in badge shapes and styles or upload your own branded design. Write nomination questions that fit.

See who's eligible

Open your award to everyone, managers, specific groups, or a custom list built by search or CSV upload.

Open nominations

Run it once or continuously. Timezone-aware for global teams. Reminders go out to nominators and reviewers automatically.

Review as a committee

Your subcommittee endorses nominees during the review window, with every endorsement visible to the group.

Name a winner

Choose one winner or several. The win posts to the activity feed and the badge lands on each winner's profile automatically.
