Daily habit
Give employees a fresh, configurable Spark budget for regular peer recognition.
MeritForge Features
Recognition your team remembers.
MeritForge turns everyday appreciation into Sparks, medals, titles, team stories, and optional real-world rewards, all with the controls companies need to keep recognition meaningful, fair, and budget-safe.
Lasting identity
Turn received appreciation into medals, titles, profiles, and long-term reputation.
Culture insight
See how recognition moves across teams, values, departments, and time periods.
Company control
Configure budgets, approvals, reward rules, roles, permissions, and safeguards.
Everyday Recognition
Make appreciation part of the daily rhythm.
Sparks make it easy for employees to recognize help, effort, teamwork, and small wins without turning appreciation into a heavy process.
Configurable Spark allowances
Give employees a fresh recognition budget each cycle. Configure how many Sparks they receive, when budgets refresh, and whether unused Sparks expire.
Lightweight peer-to-peer recognition
Not every contribution needs a ceremony. Sparks make everyday appreciation fast, visible, and easy to repeat.
Values, tags, and hashtags
Connect recognition to the values your company wants to reinforce, from teamwork and ownership to customer focus and craft.
Forge Medals
Forge meaningful medals.
Received Sparks can build long-term progress, generate crafting resources through configurable rules, and become medals with titles that feel worth remembering.
The Crucible progression system
Received recognition builds lasting progress. Instead of becoming a confusing wallet of spendable points, Sparks can feed a visual progression system that reflects someone's growing impact.
Ingots and forged medals
Employees can use earned crafting resources to create meaningful medals for bigger achievements, milestones, or values-based recognition.
Custom medals and rarity tiers
Create a recognition language with medal themes and tiers for common recognition, rare achievements, epic contributions, legendary milestones, and company-defining impact.
AI-assisted title suggestions
Help employees say something meaningful. Title suggestions can turn recognition into memorable names based on the message, value, recipient, and achievement context.
Employee Armory
Turn recognition into a story employees carry with them.
Profiles become more than directories. They become living stories of how each person contributes, what they are known for, and which achievements others forged for them.
Profiles as trophy Armories
Show earned titles, forged medals, received Sparks, recognition history, team contributions, and milestone progress in one warm professional profile.
Value strengths and contribution patterns
Make it easy to see what someone is repeatedly appreciated for, from craft and ownership to teamwork and cross-team support.
Shareable forged badges
Let employees share the badges and medals forged for them on LinkedIn, internal profiles, or wherever they want their achievement story to travel.
Great Hall Feed
Celebrate wins without creating another noisy channel.
The recognition feed gives teams visibility into great work while keeping interactions structured, positive, and low-noise.
A visible home for recognition
Show recent Sparks, medals, celebrations, and meaningful recognition moments across the company or selected teams.
Major recognition highlights
Keep forged medals and milestone recognitions prominent so larger achievements do not disappear in a long stream.
Structured reactions
Let teammates amplify recognition with Huzzahs and stronger endorsements without turning every post into a comment thread.
