Creating and Managing Award Programs in Bravvo

Bravvo empowers you to design and manage a robust awards program system tailored to your company's recognition goals. This article guides you through the process of creating, editing, deleting, and managing the details of your award programs within Bravvo 

Creating a New Award Program: Leverage Templates or Build from Scratch

Bravvo offers you two methods for creating a new award program:

1. Import from Template (Optional): Streamline program creation by leveraging Bravvo's pre-designed award program templates. These templates encompass various award categories commonly recognized in the workplace. To utilize a template, simply locate the "Import from Template" option within the new program creation interface and browse the available template categories. Once you've selected a relevant template, the core program details will be pre-populated, saving you valuable time and effort. You can then customize the program further to perfectly align with your specific needs.

2. Build a Custom Program: For a more tailored approach, Bravvo also allows you to create custom award programs from scratch. This method empowers you to design unique award categories that specifically reflect your company's mission, values, and strategic goals.

Program Details:

Regardless of the chosen creation method (template or custom), you'll be prompted to provide essential information for your award program:

• Program Name:  Choose a clear and concise title that effectively communicates the essence of the award.
• Budget:  (Optional) If applicable, designate a budget allocation for the award program. This helps with financial planning and ensures you stay within designated limits.
• Start and End Date:  Define the validity timeframe for the award program. Set a start date to activate the program and an end date to mark its conclusion.
• Description:  Provide a comprehensive description of the award program.  Outline the purpose of the award, the criteria for receiving it, and any other relevant details. This description helps employees understand the program and how they can be recognized.
• Image:  (Optional) Enhance your program's visual appeal by uploading an image that best represents the award.
