Badges
In modern workplaces, appreciation initiatives play a vital role in keeping employees motivated and engaged. Such programs help boost morale, instill confidence, and encourage employees to tackle their responsibilities with enthusiasm. Recognizing employees' efforts fosters a sense of belonging and reinforces teamwork. The Badges and Challenges features in the Odoo 18 Employee module are designed to support such initiatives effectively.
To access the badges feature, navigate to the Configuration menu, where you can view a list of badges employees have earned. Each badge entry includes a brief description, the number of recipients, and the Grant option to assign it to a specific employee. By clicking the Grant button, a pop-up window appears where you can mention the employee and provide a reason for awarding the badge. Once this is completed, you can finalize the process by selecting the Grant Badge button.
Creating new badges is straightforward.
On the badge configuration page, you can assign a name, upload an image, and provide a brief description of the badge. Under the Granting tab, you can set permissions for who can award the badge. Options include granting it to all employees, specific users, or individuals with certain badges. Additionally, you can enable the Monthly Limited Sending option to restrict the number of times the badge can be awarded each month. The My Monthly Total field tracks how many times the badge has been sent during the current month.
Badges can also be tied to specific challenges. By clicking the Add button, you can associate a badge with a challenge from the available list.
This integration motivates employees to complete the challenges and earn recognition.
Moreover, you can assign a level to the badge, Bronze, Silver, or Gold, using the Forum Badge Level option, which defines the badge’s tier.
The Statistics tab offers insights into badge performance, including metrics such as the total number of badges awarded, monthly totals, and user-specific data. These analytics help organizations track and evaluate the effectiveness of their appreciation initiatives. Once all the required details are configured, save the badge. Odoo 18’s badges feature provides a dynamic and engaging way to recognize and reward employee achievements, fostering a positive workplace culture.
