Features

Everything a recognition program needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Built into the Growth Squad page in GrowthOS. No new tab to remember, no new login to provision, no plugin to install.

Multiple clap programs

Run a company-wide program and a department-specific one side-by-side. Mark one as default; switch between them from a dropdown.

Smart rosters

Pull rosters from HR departments automatically, or override per member with explicit include/exclude. Preview the count before you save.

Medium-style claps

One-click applause with floating-number animation. Up to 50 claps per teammate per program — celebratory, not spammy.

Weekly + all-time leaderboard

Four columns: top givers, top receivers, bottom givers, bottom receivers. ISO weeks (Mon–Sun UTC) so 'this week' always means the same thing.

Brand-scoped privacy

Programs, rosters, and clap history belong to one brand at a time. Multi-brand workspaces stay clean, even with overlapping people.

Anti-forgery by design

Database-level checks make claps impossible to fake. The giver always resolves from your authenticated squad row — never a form field.

Leaderboard

Four columns.
One honest picture.

Highlight your most generous givers — and surface who's been quiet. Recognition shouldn't only flow toward the loudest people on the team.

ISO week, Monday–Sunday UTC. Up to 10 names per column. Empty period? You'll see "No claps in this period yet."

How it works

Up and running in 90 seconds.

01

Create a program

Name it, mark it default if you like, and pick the HR departments to scope it to — or leave blank to include the whole Growth Squad.

02

Confirm the roster

Preview who's in and who's out. Override per member with explicit include or exclude. Save instantly with one click.

03

Clap from anywhere

Members tab, hover cards, profile pages — every clap rolls up to the leaderboard within seconds. Up to 50 per recipient.

Permissions

Recognition that cannot be faked.

Every clap is verified server-side. The giver resolves from your authenticated squad row — never a hidden form field, never a copied user ID.

  • Brand-scoped — programs and history belong to one brand
  • Receiver and giver both checked against roster on every insert
  • Append-only event log — no edit, no delete

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is GrowthClaps different from LMS lesson claps?
LMS claps are learner applause on course content, scoped to courses and lessons. GrowthClaps lives on the Growth Squad page, scoped to brand and program, with leaderboards and roster controls. They share the Medium-style UX but the data and rules are completely separate.
What's the cap on how many times I can clap one person?
50 claps total to the same person, per program — counted across all your sessions. The button disables at the limit with a clear message. The cap mirrors the LMS clap behaviour and exists to keep recognition celebratory, not spammy.
Can I clap myself?
No. The database function rejects any clap where the giver and receiver resolve to the same squad row.
What week does 'this week' actually mean?
ISO week, Monday–Sunday in UTC. Not a rolling last-7-days. The same week shows the same data for everyone, regardless of timezone.
Who can configure programs?
Anyone with brand-manage permission. Everyone else with brand access can view programs and send claps (if they're on the roster).
What happens on first install — do I need to set anything up?
No. A 'Default team' program is created automatically for each brand that has Growth Squad members, with every existing squad member included. Most teams start clapping the same day they enable the module.
