Shout outs
Send back-and-forth appreciation between many colleagues on a single board.
Share the love on regular basis by creating a shout out board. By default, tagging and reactions are enabled on these boards, which allows peers to easily deliver praise. When a teammate or group is tagged, they're notified directly. Integrate with Slack or Teams to increase engagement even more.
Shout out ideas to get you started
- Team-level quarterly Shout out board
- Company-wide Core Values in Action
- Ta-Da List (the self-shout out space)
- Staff Appreciation Week
What makes a successful shout out board?
- Add a Direction Post
- Before inviting contributors, add a few quality example posts to showcase the type of engagement you'd like to see on the board
- Encourage users to bookmark the board for easy access
- Make your board Global
- Tag individual teammates or groups to notify them directly when they're mentioned
- Enable engagement reminders on your board through Slack or Teams integrations or by Email
- Notifications regarding new posts and tags are sent through those channels, as well as reminders to post for users who have been inactive
- React and comment on posts
- Input core values into your site settings (admin panel> settings), and encourage team members to use the #corevalue to embody these values in their posts
- In a live team meeting (in person or virtual), take time to share shout outs on a regular basis
