Welcome to your new homepage! With eye-catching graphic elements and a streamlined design, you’ll find it’s easier than ever to navigate between sending recognition, browsing for awards in the Store, checking your points, and catching up on your recognition to-do list.

Now more visually appealing, with colorful banners for nominations and larger images for eCards. The Social Feed defaults to “Following” so users can quickly see the recognition of users they selected to see. The first time a user logs in, the “Auto follow” feature will automatically add the user’s team to their following list. We’ve added a Search function so users can easily find individuals in their Social Feed and Like and Comment on recognition given and received.

You can choose to hide your received recognition from public social feeds, and you can choose not to show your birthday on your profile page.

You can also choose your preferred name and pronouns.

Users can now assign only one delegate to perform all activities within a program, and the delegate is no longer required to accept the assignment.

Anniversaries

Culture Cloud Anniversaries makes celebrating career milestones easy for managers and inspiring for celebrants. We’ve streamlined commenting (now called Personal Notes), automated the invitation process and included a larger pool of participants, exponentially expanded the awards selection for those celebrating, and made it easier for managers and admins to track upcoming celebrations.

Instead, there are multiple opportunities and entry points to write a personal note for an upcoming anniversary, as well as reminders to participate throughout the Culture Cloud experience. Click the “Anniversaries” tab in Culture Cloud to see upcoming celebrations.

You’ll see a list of colleagues with upcoming anniversaries. Everyone in the organisation can now see who is celebrating and easily join in. Click the “pencil” icon to write a personal note.

Countdown

We’ve added an anniversary countdown on the employee profile page, to give managers another entry point and a reminder to celebrate their team members.

Program Access

Employees no longer need to visit awardselect.com to claim their anniversary award. Instead, they will log in to culturecloud.com with a secure, authenticated company email address and password.

Award Choice

Employees celebrating an anniversary will now be able to choose from a wide selection of thousands of awards in the Culture Cloud Store, instead of only 24 curated awards, at every career milestone.

Notifications

Culture Cloud Anniversaries automatically emails team members and other connections with an invitation to write a personal note for upcoming career milestones. This relieves the burden on managers to send invitations. Automated invitations increase engagement by 48%.

6

Plan the Celebration

Those celebrating an upcoming anniversary can invite colleagues to write a personal note, directly from their own profile page. This gives the celebrant more control over their own party, so they can prompt team members they would like to hear from.

Admin Home

Admins can now access the same Anniversaries reporting capabilities found in eClientLink within Culture Cloud's Admin Home/Activity Dashboard.

Admins can view and edit personal notes that have been submitted for upcoming celebrations. They can also cancel a celebration and view a list of those who have been invited but have not submitted a personal note for an upcoming event.

Mobile

Anniversaries is now part of the Culture Cloud mobile experience. You can write a personal note for an upcoming career milestone in the app.

Emails

System emails show employees why recognition is important and how to use key features of Culture Cloud. This series of emails has been redesigned with a new look to help increase engagement and adoption.

We’ve created Platform Notifications that will be sent at 30, 60 and 90 days after launch of Culture Cloud to remind participants who have not given recognition. We’ve also added Budget Notifications to give visibility to unused recognition budgets.
