How to send a Recognition

The following article describes how to use the peer to peer feature

Step-by-step guide on how to give a recognition:

  1. Head to the "Activity Feed" and start typing in an employee's name into the field that says "Who do you want to recognize?" and choose the name of the person you want to recognize. You can choose more than 1 name if you wish.
  2. Add a description to "What do you want to recognize them for?" (share a short story as to why you are recognizing them, for example: what impact did they make on the company, customer or project, why are you thanking them, what have they done to go above and beyond, etc).
  3. Add in one or multiple "Core Values" to the recognition (which Core Value aligns best with the recognition you are giving)
  4. For some organizations there's an option to add points (e.g. 5 is typically for a small contribution, 10 is for a medium contribution and 15+ is for a big contribution). You need to have enough 'points to give' if you are adding in points to the recognition. Remember, it's the recognition that is most impactful to your colleague - points are a bonus!
  5. Optionally, you can add a photo and/or GIF
    1. To add a photo: Click Photo, drag and drop or click to select from your computer.
    2. To add a GIF: Click Gif and search for keywords in the search box. Click on one to add to the recognition. You can also remove GIF below the selected GIF.
  6. Click post
