Global rewards and custom stores can support holiday gifts, company merchandise, and lifestyle spending accounts. The mobile app supports eCards, points, nominations, award presentations, and reward redemption, but requires participation in an employer’s O.C. Tanner recognition program. Access is listed for web, iOS, Android, APIs, and a Chrome extension. Integrations include Workday, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, SAP SuccessFactors, UKG, Oracle, Outlook, and SharePoint. O.C.
