🎨 New Branding Options: Dark & Light Modes
User experience matters—and Karma has made a simple but impactful improvement by introducing dark and light themes.
Why this matters:
- Better accessibility for different lighting environments
- Reduced eye strain for long sessions
- A more personalized dashboard experience
Whether your team prefers a sleek dark interface or a clean light look, Karma now supports both—without compromising on design quality.
🎁 Smarter Automated Rewards (Now Easier Than Ever)
Recognition is most effective when it’s timely and meaningful. Karma’s update improves how you create and manage automated rewards, making the process more intuitive and flexible.
What’s new:
- A simplified reward creation flow with a guided pop-up
- Clear distinction between automatic and manual rewards
- Expanded country support for global teams
🌍 European Union Support Made Simple
One of the most practical improvements is how Karma handles rewards across the European Union.
Instead of selecting individual countries during setup:
- You can now simply choose “European Union”
- Recipients will select their specific country when redeeming the reward
- Rewards are standardized in Euros (€)
This removes friction during setup and ensures a smoother experience for distributed teams.
👉 If your country isn’t supported yet, Karma encourages users to reach out—new regions can be added based on demand.
