Creating a Recognition​

Step-by-Step​

  2. Select a recipient - Search for and select the colleague you want to recognize
  3. Choose a value - Select the company value that best represents their contribution
  4. Write your message - Describe what they did and why it matters
  5. Assign points - Allocate points from your monthly allowance
  6. Add attachments (optional) - Include images, videos, or documents
  7. Click "Give Points" to publish

Recognition Best Practices​

Writing Great Recognitions
  • Be specific: Describe exactly what the person did
  • Explain impact: Share how their action helped the team or company
  • Be timely: Recognize contributions soon after they happen
  • Be genuine: Write from the heart

Good Example:

"Sarah, thank you for staying late last night to help debug the production issue. Your quick thinking and expertise with the database saved us from hours of downtime. The customer didn't even notice the issue thanks to you!"

Avoid:

"Great job Sarah!"
