Hey Jordan,

I really appreciate your HR team for pushing you all to implement a recognition system. You definitely dont need to set anything up with power automate. First off, definitely have a dedicated “Recognition“ channel. and make it a thread so it is all interactive. You might need something a bit more sophisticated if you want to set up automations. There are some pretty interesting employee engagement software out there today. We currently use Teamflect for all the engagement side of our business which includes surveys, feedback, recognition and rewards. It has pretty seamless integration with Teams and feels quite like a natural part of it. Kudos is also a good option. I also know that 15five has a recognition-specific integration for Teams.

Hope this helps!
