How do you handle employee recognition in Microsoft Teams without it feeling forced?

Just a reflection. I really like that we should lift each other up more. But what is your point of using a points system? Will it lead to a higher salary for those with high points?

Should everyone see the points or is it just for management?

If your idea is to make it visible to everyone and this gains momentum, those who get a lot of points will be very happy, but those who have never gotten any points and probably already know that they are not the "popular" ones may risk being embarrassed when it becomes so visible.

I would invest more in getting users to use Praise in Teams and SharePoint. Encourage posting in channels so that many people see.

Good for those who get attention, but not as "elitist".

We want a company where everyone feels like they belong.

Just a reflection, but the bottom line: I love that you want to highlight good work 💞
