Recognition

Public credit for work that set the standard. Recognition is the part of the performance system that happens the same week the work did, rather than three months later in a review.

What to do first

Give one. The wall is only worth reading if people write on it.

The wall

The feed of recognition across the workspace, with a tab for the ones you were given. Alongside it: a prompt to give recognition, suggestions from Rople about who is worth recognising, and a leaderboard of the most generous.

The suggestions are drawn from what actually happened: a goal or key result completed, a review outcome, a learning achievement, strong 360 feedback. Rople points at the event and you decide whether it deserves saying out loud.

Giving recognition

Pick the person, pick a badge, and say why.

Badges are your workspace's own, grouped, and most of them map to a competency. Recognising somebody with a badge tied to a competency records that competency, which is what makes recognition usable as evidence later.

The reason is the part that matters. A badge without a sentence is a reaction; a badge with a sentence is a record of what somebody did.

You can attach the work it was for: an objective, a key result, a review outcome, a learning achievement or a piece of 360 feedback.

My recognitions

What you have been given, and what you have given. Useful when writing a self assessment, because it is a list of specific things with dates on them.

Analytics

Who is being recognised and who is doing the recognising, across the workspace and by department. A team with no recognition in a quarter is worth a manager's attention, and so is one person receiving all of it.

How it connects

  • Recognition received lands in your Inbox, in the feed rather than the inbox tab, because it is news rather than a task.
  • It is evidence in Reviews.
  • Badges and competencies come from Talent and Admin.
  • Participation appears in Manager Cockpit and People Analytics.

Common questions

Is recognition anonymous? No. It is public credit, and credit without a name attached is worth less to both people.

Can I give recognition to my manager? Yes. Recognition is not directional.

Who sets the badges? The workspace, in Admin. A badge list that reads like the company is a badge list people use.

Does recognition affect someone's rating? Not automatically. It is evidence a reviewer can read, not a number that moves a score.
