Recognitions Reinforce Desired Behaviors
...
Not only do people feel good about being recognized for a job well done, but they’ll also take greater effort to repeat the situation. Therefore, always be clear about why credit is coming so that recipients know which behavior elicited the praise.
Recognition Writing Suggestions
Be selfless by writing about the achievement of other people
Document the act, the value, and the impact as evocative, memorable details
Give the recognition in near-realtime, so people remember the act, more than the praise
Share positive feedback using 7Geese's Slack /recognize command or 7Geese's Recognition Center.
Avoid Bulk Recognition
We understand there are times when many people have contributed and should be congratulated. Yet, please don't send the same endorsement to many people, as in more than a few folks at a time. Instead, look to use the most relevant team Slack tags and post directly in #recognitions.
