Applause is Pingboard’s peer recognition tool—an authentic, simple, and fun way to improve employee engagement, build camaraderie, and create a culture of appreciation at your company.

How does it work?

Any employee can applaud a coworker for going above and beyond. The employee that receives Applause will get an email notification about it, and the note from their colleague displays on their profile. When an employee is applauded, their manager also receives an email notification.

Anyone can show their support for a coworker by "liking" the Applause they received, further contributing to a thriving culture of appreciation at your company.
