Recognitions Reinforce Desired Behaviors
Not only do people feel good about being recognized for a job well done, but they’ll also make 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 Leapsome's Slack /praise
command or Praise form.
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, use the most relevant team Slack tags and post directly in #recognitions.
As a benefit, the team-based recognition…
It is easy to read
Does not spam the channel
Uplifts the team spirit
Saves your time
Lead by example as team members learn from you
Team Member’s Supporters
When feasible, thank the people outside of Axelerant who support our team members, like spouses, peers, and account stakeholders. Give them a unique bit of love and gratitude for their caring to know we're appreciative.
Record a video via cam-recorder.com or Loom from your device and email them the thanks.
