# Karma Points

### How does Karma works?

Karma Points is a feature designed to recognize and appreciate contributions across your organization. It helps highlight great work that might otherwise go unnoticed and fosters a culture of appreciation, motivation, and engagement. 

Team members can earn points for their efforts and redeem them for rewards defined by the organization.
