Managing team performance and recognizing achievements are crucial aspects of running a successful business. Karma`s Dashboard and Achievements features can help you do just that. In this blog post, we will explore how to set up and use both features in Slack to help you manage and motivate your team.
Karma Dashboard Explained
Karma Dashboard is a feature that helps businesses track employee performance. In this quick guide, we’ll take a closer look at how the Karma Dashboard works and how you can use it to monitor your team’s performance.
Karma Dashboard is accessed through Slack’s Settings. Once you’re in the Karma Dashboard, you can view a snapshot of your team’s performance. This includes a leaderboard, rewards module, how many karmas were given for a certain period of time, and the latest karma feed. You can customize the dashboard by turning on and off any parts that interest you. For example, you can turn off the rewards or performance modules if you want so.
The Karma Dashboard updates automatically, and you can customize it to show different types of data. You can have achievements instead of a leaderboard or a little board to play around with the interval. You can even change the background to reflect your brand.
One useful feature of the Karma Dashboard is the ability to make it public or private. If you make it public, you can share the dashboard’s public link on the internet or display it on the office TV. If you make it private, only users with a Slack login can access the dashboard.
Karma Achievements: A Guide on How to Set Up and Use Them
Slack is an essential tool for most teams, but keeping track of everyone’s achievements can be challenging. That’s where Karma comes in. Karma allows you to create custom badges and achievements that are automatically awarded to your team members based on their activity within Slack. In this post, we will discuss how to set up and use Karma Achievements for Slack.
What are Karma Achievements
Karma Achievements are custom badges and achievements that are awarded to your team members based on their activity within Slack. These badges can be customized to reflect your company’s values or culture, and they can be awarded for a variety of different activities, such as being the top performer, making the most reactions, or celebrating a work anniversary.
How to Set Up Custom Karma Achievements
To set up Karma Achievements, follow these steps:
-
Install the Karma app from the Slack App Directory.

How to Use Karma Achievements
As you navigate to the Achievement Settings, you will see a list of system achievements that cannot be edited, but you can turn them off if you prefer. These achievements are self-explanatory and include titles such as “Reaction Master” and “Reaction King.” These Achievements will be automatically awarded to team members based on their activity within Slack.
