How the score works

What matters for enterprises

  1. Global rewards and currencies

    Rewards must be deliverable and compliant in each country.

  2. Single sign-on and access controls

    Large user bases need central access management.

  3. Payroll and tax integration

    Taxable awards at scale cannot be reported by hand.

  4. Program governance and audit logs

    Finance and HR need records of awards and approvals.

  5. Multi-program support

    Business units often run different award programs.
