Training gets finished and nobody notices

Your team already finishes training flows, quizzes, and checklists. Custom Badges mark each milestone on the employee profile and in the org chart, so the work shows up where the team already looks.

Recognition gives the team a reason to finish what is optional

Recognition your team actually notices

Custom Badges use your own names, descriptions, and icons, so a badge reads as real recognition from the company instead of a generic sticker. Award one for completing the new-hire path, passing a compliance quiz, or finishing a role-specific training flow. Employees see badges on their profile from day one.
Create your first badge
A digital interface displays a to-do list titled "Hi, Peggy." Items include Welcome to Acme, Prospecting Process, Salesforce CRM, and Sales Training Quiz. A "Sales Expert" badge is shown with an arrow pointing to it—essential parts of the onboarding process.

Expertise that shows up in the org chart

Every earned badge lands on the employee profile and in the company org chart. Anyone looking at the team can see who is certified on what without chasing a spreadsheet. New hires find the right person to ask. Managers see skill coverage across a department in one view.

Built into the rest of your Whale workspace

Add a badge as a step inside any training flow and Whale awards it the moment the flow is complete. Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, surfaces the badge holder when a teammate asks who knows a given process. CoPilot points new hires to the same expert inside the tool where the work happens.

How it works

Step 1 badge, click record and work through your process

Design a badge for the milestone

Name the badge, write a short description, pick an icon, and decide what earns it: a finished training flow, a passed quiz, or a completed checklist.
Step 2 badge, review your generated SOP

Award it automatically or by hand

Add the badge as a step inside a training flow and Whale awards it on completion. Admins can also grant a badge manually for recognition that sits outside a flow.
Step 3 badge, share it with your team

The badge lands on the profile and org chart

Every earned badge shows up on the employee’s profile page and in the Whale org chart, so the whole team can see who is trained on what.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start for Free
Yes. Each badge has a custom name, description, and icon. Most teams create a set that mirrors their training programs: one badge for new-hire onboarding, one for each role-specific path, one for compliance refreshers. Admins can create and edit badges from the workspace settings at any time, and existing badges can be renamed or retired without affecting the employees who have already earned them.
Two ways. Automated: add a badge as a step inside a training flow, and Whale awards it the moment the employee finishes the flow. Manual: any admin can grant a badge from an employee profile for special recognition. Both methods write the badge to the employee record with a timestamp, so the award history is always auditable.
On the employee profile page and inside the Whale org chart. A manager scanning the team can see skill coverage at a glance. A new hire looking for the right person to ask about a process can spot the badge holders immediately. Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, also references badge holders when a teammate asks who knows a given process.
Custom Badges are available on all paid plans. Automated badge awards through training flows require the Scale plan, since training flows themselves are a Scale feature. Manual awards work on every paid tier.
Yes. The analytics dashboard shows badges earned per employee, per team, and per training flow, with filters by date range and role. Export the data to CSV for compliance reporting or an annual review cycle. Managers can see who is missing a required badge and route a training assignment from the same view.
Trainual tracks course completions in a list. Whale turns each completion into a visible badge that sits on the employee profile and in the org chart, so recognition is part of the daily workspace instead of a report nobody opens. Badges also feed the rest of Whale: Alice points teammates to badge holders when a question comes up, and CoPilot surfaces the same expertise inside the tools where work happens. Training completion becomes routable knowledge, not a line in a log.
