You earn points by reading and sharing stories. Generally, you get 1 point for reading a story and 3 points for sharing. Points let you know how you're doing in relation to your coworkers, and they may be used by your management to provide prizes.
The points leaderboard resets to zero at the beginning of every month. So you might have 136 points on the 30th, and zero on the 1st. This helps refresh the leaderboard and gives everyone a fresh start at the beginning of the month.
