Badges work to “gamify” the system, leading to increased engagement, collaboration, and loyalty in the workplace.
What is a Universal Badge?
Universal Badges are a set of Badges, available to all customers, created to help users overcome the initial hurdle of using the system, help them explore functionality, and encourage them to work more in the system. Universal Badges work alongside any Custom Badges your organization is already using as part of the Custom Badges Module.
For more information about Badges, check out the support article What is a Badge?
What Universal Badges are available?
Our Universal Badges include:
KaiNexus Pro SuperBadge: We want to encourage people to take part in many aspects of KaiNexus. The KaiNexus Pro SuperBadge is earned when a person has submitted their first Item, added a comment to an Item, added a link or file to an Item, been on a Team, and submitted a Resolution/resolved something. The goal is to encourage users to explore the full functionality of the platform!
Improvement Novice: As a piece of the KaiNexus Pro SuperBadge and a stand-alone Badge—the Improvement Novice Badge is earned when a user submits their first Item. We want to celebrate users for submitting their first Item — no matter how big or small!
Universal Badge Streaks
Users can also track the number of weeks (or months) in a row they’ve performed an action in KaiNexus by earning a Streak! These Streak Badges include submitting an Item, logging in, and clearing notifications to earn the weekly and monthly Badges! Since it takes an average of 66 days to form a habit, Streaks are an excellent way to instill these habits in users in KaiNexus!
All Caught Up! (Monthly): An important part of Improvement work is staying on top of due dates. This is why we introduced the All Caught Up Monthly Badge which is awarded to users who clear their notifications each month. The Streak keeps up with how many months in a row a user has done this! 
All Caught Up! (Weekly): Not only can users earn a Streak Badge for clearing their notifications at a monthly interval — but they can also earn the All Caught Up Weekly Badge for clearing their notifications each week! We know sometimes notifications can get overwhelming, so it’s important to stay on top of them by going through and clearing them often!
Captain Capture (Monthly): We love to celebrate users submitting Items in the system, but it’s even more important to be consistent with it! Users can earn the Captain Capture Monthly Badge for submitting an Item each month. Submit an Item once per month to keep the monthly Streak Badge!
