# Manage Awards

Awards are a great way to recognize your employee's achievements.

The first step towards setting up the reward program is by creating a New Award and enabling a Reward budget for every Award giver.

&#x20;Navigate to **Settings > REWARDS & RECOGNITION SETTINGS >Awards, Values & Gifts** to manage all your award and Reward Budget settings.

## 1. Create a New Award

The process to create a new award consists of the following steps:

* Click on <mark style="background-color:orange;">**Create Award**</mark> under the <mark style="background-color:orange;">**Awards**</mark> tab.

### Select Award Type

**Spot Awards** - &#x20;

Spot Awards are generally for a special contribution accomplished over a relatively short time period. Use this option when award givers are eligible to give away awards directly, without needing approvals.

**Awards that need approval** -&#x20;

Use this option when the award needs to go through an approval process before being given to the awardee.

#### Award that requires a Jury Panel's Review - &#x20;

This award is best suited for people choice awards or prestigious awards that require scrutiny from multiple stakeholders.

* Enter the award details like the Award name and description.

### Add Award Description

Complete the award details. Select if the award will be for an individual or a team. Award values are either fixed or within a range.&#x20;

* Choose Award Recipient from the dropdown menu.

### Team/Individual award

As the name suggests, you may define an award for a *team* or an *individual*.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Individual Award: Can be given to a single recipient.

Team Award: Can be given to two recipients or more.
{% endhint %}

Team awards require permission to either divide the points equally among the team members or for each recipient individually receive the points configured. &#x20;

* Configure Rewards.

#### Range-type award points

Awards of a ranging value can exist only for *Spot Award.*&#x20;

Award givers can give points within the range defined.

### Define Nominator, Nominee, \&Approver&#x20;

Restrict the usage of awards to specific groups of users by setting up constraints on the  nominator, nominee, and approver eligibility.

&#x20;A couple of hypothetical examples would make these settings easier to understand.
