Peer shout-outs, milestone awards and company programmes, rewarded with cash people can actually use.
From a quick peer shout-out to a formal company award, Recognition makes great work seen and rewards it with real financial value. It sits inside the Stream app your people already use, so recognition becomes a daily habit, not an annual event.
Everyday colleague appreciation. People recognise each other, send shout-outs and build momentum without waiting for sign-off.
Business-led awards tied to your values, like a Shining Stars programme. Nomination-based, with the approvals and budgets you set.
Automated recognition for anniversaries, birthdays and key achievements. Set it once and it celebrates your people on time, every time.

Recognition converts into real value. Cash paid to a bank account, money moved into savings, or gift cards across hundreds of retailers. No points to decode, no catalogue to wade through.
That immediacy matters most for frontline and shift-based workers, the people legacy platforms often lock out. They see the reward, understand it, and value it.
Because Recognition sits inside Stream, a cash reward can flow straight into a Stream savings account and start earning interest.
Reward, save, earn. A one-off £50 award becomes the start of a safety net rather than a treat forgotten by payday.
A real-time dashboard shows participation, who is recognising whom, how rewards are redeemed across cash, savings and gift cards, and how recognition maps to your company values.
That is evidence of impact, not just activity. Spot quiet teams, pinpoint engagement gaps and show the board a return, without building a single report by hand.
Set budgets, reward values, approval thresholds and who can nominate. Recognition is pre-funded, so your financial exposure is always predictable and Stream never advances funds.
It runs outside payroll. No deductions, no payslip changes, no files to manage.
And because it is built into the Stream app your people already use, there is no new platform to launch.
HR is under pressure to justify every line of spend. Recognition gives you live data on adoption, engagement and impact, so the value is visible rather than assumed.
Recognition replaces fragmented, admin-heavy incumbents. It lives inside Stream alongside pay, savings and budgeting, so there is less to manage and less to pay for.
Up to 80% of frontline employees already use Stream. Recognition reaches the deskless and shift-based workers that email-led, voucher-only platforms miss.

Stream was founded on a social charter to improve workers’ financial wellbeing. That mission was embedded into our Articles of Association, and everything we do supports it – from the financial benefit products we create to our policy decisions. We’re accountable to (and guided by) our Impact Advisory Board, which is made up of experts from think tanks, academia and social impact investors. We conduct impact research and analyse data from our extensive member base. We also partner with industry leaders and academics on joint studies. And we co-create our products and tools with employers and members to make sure they’re accessible and give people the support they need.
