Leaderboards and points create a positive feedback loop — employees see their rank rise and keep sharing, week after week.
The #1 Employee Advocacy Platform on G2
Gamify Your Employee Advocacy Program
Boost employee engagement and participation by igniting friendly competition, rewarding effort, and making advocacy genuinely fun.
When advocacy feels like a chore, your employees disengage.
Engagement drives reach.
Recognition drives engagement.
DSMN8 Gamification turns everyday sharing into a competition your team actually wants to win.
Why it matters
Foster team camaraderie
Friendly competition between colleagues, teams, and departments builds culture.
Reward the right behaviors
Tie points to the actions that actually matter, shares, clicks, and engagement, so what gets rewarded gets repeated.
Recognition beyond rewards
Sometimes seeing your name at the top of a leaderboard is prize enough. Gamification celebrates advocates, with or without prizes.
How DSMN8 Gamification Works
1: Activate Leaderboards. Enable leaderboards in your DSMN8 admin dashboard. Advocates are automatically ranked by their activity (shares, clicks, and engagement), giving everyone a live view of where they stand.
2: Configure Claimable Rewards (Optional). Decide whether to add claimable rewards. Set the number of points required, how many times each employee can claim a prize, and the total number of prizes available. Completely flexible, rewards are never mandatory.
3: Run Competitions with Leaderboard Rewards. Take it further with Leaderboard Rewards – prizes tied directly to leaderboard position over a set time period. There’s no need to claim; employees simply need to hold one of the top spots when the leaderboard closes.
4: Employees Compete, Share & Earn. Advocates watch their rank rise in real time as they share content and drive engagement. Points accumulate automatically, turning everyday advocacy into a rewarding habit.

What Employee Advocacy Gamification Unlocks For Your Company
Visual Leaderboards
Real-time rankings that show exactly where each advocate stands, creating transparent, motivating competition.
Activity-Based Points
Points accumulate automatically from meaningful actions: sharing content, generating clicks through to your website, and earning likes.
Claimable Rewards
Admins set optional prizes employees can claim once they hit a points threshold. Control what's on offer, how many times it can be claimed, and total prize availability.
Leaderboard Competitions
Run time-limited competitions where prizes are tied to leaderboard position. No claiming required, employees simply need to hold a top spot when the leaderboard closes.
Team & Department Challenges
Go beyond individual rankings. Pit teams against each other to build inter-team camaraderie and lift company-wide participation in one move.
Fully Admin-Controlled
Every element is configurable. Rewards are entirely optional, and leaderboards can be run periodically or in specific teams.

What do you like best about DSMN8?
“One of the things I like is the aspect. DSMN8 provides my company rank for shares and clicks. It’s almost pavlovian. Share more frequently (for points), and rise through the ranks. Gotta say it’s effective! I also love that I can balance that with selective shares that are relevant to my specific audience.”
What problems is DSMN8 solving and how is that benefiting you?
“The side of the tool makes it super fun to challenge your colleagues on who’s doing best (or has the most reach).”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to offer prizes with DSMN8's gamification?
Not at all. Rewards and prizes are completely optional. Many organizations find that simply having their employees’ names and departments visible on a live leaderboard is more than enough to drive healthy, sustained competition and participation.
What activities earn points?
Points are awarded for actions that directly support your advocacy goals: sharing content, generating clicks from shared content back to your website, and receiving likes on posts. These are customizable to ensure the behaviors being rewarded are the ones that create real business value.
What's the difference between Claimable Rewards and Leaderboard Rewards?
Claimable Rewards let employees exchange their accumulated points for a prize of their choosing, once they reach a set threshold. Leaderboard Rewards are tied to competition outcomes — prizes are automatically assigned based on leaderboard position when a competition period closes. No claiming needed; employees just need to stay in the top spots.
Can admins limit the number of times a reward can be claimed?
Yes. Account admins have full control: they set the points required to claim a reward, how many times an individual employee can claim it, and the total number of that reward available across the program. This ensures budget predictability and fairness.
Can I create a leaderboard for a specific team?
Yes. If you’re looking to motivate a specific team, e.g., sales, you can set up department-specific leaderboards to run competitions. This is a great way to make advocacy a habit as you expand your program into new business units.
How secure is DSMN8?
Security is a top priority. DSMN8 supports enterprise-grade security such as Single Sign-On (SSO), ISO-27001 certification, and strict data protection standards. You can be confident that your brand and employee data are safe. Learn more about DSMN8’s security.
