Fugo

Employee recognition board software for office and breakroom screens

A recognition board only works if people see it. Fugo turns the screens you already have in breakrooms, corridors and reception into a live employee recognition board: this month’s spotlight, work anniversaries, new starters and team shout-outs, updated from your desk and pushed to every site at once. Book a demo to see it on your walls.

What goes on an employee recognition board

Rotate a handful of formats so the board stays worth looking at.

Employee of the month and spotlights

Give one person the screen: a photo, their name, their team and one line on what they did. Set it to run for the month and swap it when the next one is due.

Work anniversaries and milestones

Five years, ten years, first week. Schedule the slide ahead of time so it appears on the right morning without anyone remembering to post it.

New starter welcomes

Put a face and a name on the breakroom screen before someone’s first coffee run, so the team already knows who they are.

Peer shout-outs and kudos

Collect nominations however you already do, then rotate them through the board so the small wins get seen, not just the big ones.

Team wins and project milestones

A shipped release, a safety record, a fundraising total. Anything the whole floor should know went well.

Why a screen beats a noticeboard for recognition

A printed employee-of-the-month frame is embarrassing by March, and recognition sent in a private message reaches one person. A digital recognition board changes in seconds, sets a slide to expire on its own so it never goes stale, and is public, so the whole team sees it. That is the part that changes how people feel about the place. It also reaches deskless staff who never open the all-hands email but walk past the breakroom screen every day.

How Fugo runs your recognition board

Design it, schedule it, and keep it fed from a source your HR team already maintains.

Build a recognition layout in the browser with your own colours, fonts and logo. Drop in a photo, edit the name and the note, publish. Save it as a company template so next month is a two-minute job.

Schedule it and let it expire

Set the month’s spotlight to appear on the 1st and come down on the 30th. Queue anniversary slides weeks ahead, and use day-parting to run recognition during breaks and dashboards during the working day, on the same screen.

Keep the board fed without manual uploads

Point Fugo at a shared source so the board refreshes itself. Pull imagery from a Canto collection, or run the month’s nominations from Google Sheets or Google Slides through the App Store, and the screen updates when the source does. Fugo does not integrate with HR or payroll systems, so the source stays one your HR team already maintains.

Frequently asked questions

What is an employee recognition board?

An employee recognition board is a screen in a shared workspace that celebrates staff: this month’s spotlight, work anniversaries, new starters and peer shout-outs. It replaces the printed employee-of-the-month frame with something you update from software, so it stays current and can change across every site at once.

How do we keep the board updated without it becoming a chore?

Save a recognition layout as a company template in Design Studio, then each update is swapping a photo and a line of text. You can also schedule slides weeks ahead and set them to expire on their own, so the board looks after itself between updates.

Can it pull names and dates from our HR system?

Fugo does not integrate directly with HRIS or payroll platforms. What most teams do instead is keep the month’s recognitions in a Google Sheet or Google Slides deck, or an image collection in Canto, and connect that to the screen so the board refreshes when the source is updated.

Do we need special hardware?

No. Fugo is hardware-agnostic and runs on Amazon Fire TV and the Amazon Signage Stick, Google TV Streamer, NVIDIA Shield, Android, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Windows and ChromeOS, so you can use screens and players you already own.

Can different offices run their own recognition board?

Yes. Group screens by office, floor or team and give local managers permission to publish to their own board, while company-wide milestones go to every screen from one dashboard.

Is an employee recognition board the same as a sales leaderboard?

No. A recognition board celebrates people and milestones across the whole business. A leaderboard ranks performance against targets, usually for a sales team. Fugo runs both, often on the same screens.

How much does it cost?

Fugo is priced per screen and is SOC 2 Type II certified. See our per-screen pricing for current rates.
