The Perks feature provides the ability to give all sorts of great rewards to deserving employees.

Just a few examples:

Leave work early
Come in late
Take a day off
Lunch on the company
Your favorite cake
Ice cream party
Reserved parking for a week
Event tickets
Charity donation in your name
Car wash
The possibilities are only limited by your creativity and your ability to fulfill the perk rewards

Perks can be attached to:

Perk rewards are fulfilled outside of the recognition program

Good to know

Employees are asked to select up to 3 favorite perks when they create their account, or can select from the Perks list at any time, which helps the perk giver choose what to give
Recognition perks are 'purchased' by the recognition initiator using perk tokens
Perk templates are available to edit and use, or you can create your own from scratch
Each perk has its own configurable details, including token 'cost', expiration date, redemption instructions, and whether or not it can be given out by any token budget holder or be limited to budget holding directors only
When your program was set up, your company decided whether a perk token budget holder can issue a perk reward to anyone or only to their direct reports (you can contact your account manager to have this changed)
A perk token budget holding director can give a perk to anyone, regardless of program setup

How to create a perk - from a template

Before creating perks, you need to determine what they will 'cost' in perk tokens. For example, Lunch on the company could cost 50 tokens, Come in late could cost 200 tokens, Day off could cost 800 tokens.
You need to make decisions on who will receive Perk Token budgets, how much they will receive, and how often
See How to manage perk token budgets for details on required budget management steps
