Pending tasks are taken on gladly and on one's own initiative – instead of being assigned
GoodPoints gives every task its point value. Your team chooses what to take on. Engagement becomes visible and fairly recognized.
This is what GoodPoints looks like (example):
| Care: patient fully looked after | 25 points |
| Technology: CT scanner repaired | 20 points |
| Club: new member won | 15 points |
| Education: student guided to success | 15 points |
Unpopular tasks = more points. Especially satisfied customers = bonus points.
How it works
Post a task
The lead defines: What needs doing? How many points is it worth?
Team picks it up
Everyone sees open tasks and takes on what they can and want to do.
Done = Points
After completion, points are credited to the personal account.
Why points work
People compare their contribution with the contribution of others.
GoodPoints makes this comparison possible – anonymised.
Everyone sees their own points and recognises where their own result stands in relation to the anonymised team. This can create a voluntary incentive to increase one's own contribution – without colleagues or superiors being able to identify individuals.
Your own progress becomes visible
The comparison with the team stays anonymous
Unpopular tasks become more attractive through points
What GoodPoints is NOT
Who sees personal points?
Personal point balances are visible exclusively to the individual. Even administrators and superiors cannot view individual balances. Only anonymised team results and task data are visible.
The difference at a glance
| Classic | GoodPoints | |
|---|---|---|
| Task assignment | Manager constantly assigns | Employees choose themselves |
| Unpopular tasks | Often left undone | More points = they get done |
| Recognition | Invisible | Points make engagement visible |
| Team comparison | Informal, often unfair | Honest and anonymised |
| Point privacy | – | Personal points stay private |
| Cost | – | Free up to 5 people |
"Employees no longer asked: Why me? - but: Why don't I get this task?"
From the pilot project: productivity rose by around 20% – an encouraging result, not a promise.
Those who feel recognized gladly do more – the company profits, and the customer is better served. Three winners, zero losers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Short and honest answers
How does GoodPoints work?
Tasks are posted and visible to everyone. Employees take on what they want to do. After completion, points are awarded. Everyone sees their own points and anonymised team results – an anonymised comparison that can voluntarily spur more engagement.
Who sees my points?
Personal point balances are visible exclusively to the individual. Even administrators and superiors cannot view individual balances. Only anonymised team results and task data are visible. This is technically enforced by the system. For the leadership, this is also a relief: GoodPoints enforces point privacy technically - nobody can call up individual values, not even accidentally. No surveillance accusations, no distrust in the team.
What happens to unpopular tasks?
Unpopular tasks can be made more attractive with higher points. That way, work that would otherwise be left undone still gets done. The lead keeps track and can step in where needed.
Does the dispatcher become unnecessary?
No. GoodPoints can relieve dispatchers of part of the routine assigning work. They remain responsible for special cases, priorities, quality assurance and tasks nobody volunteers for. From constantly assigning to targeted intervention.
What does GoodPoints cost?
Free during the beta phase. No credit card, no obligation. For teams up to 5 people, use is intended to stay free. For larger teams, a price of 5.00 EUR per contributor and month is planned.
