How do you handle employee recognition in Microsoft Teams without it feeling forced?
Hey community,
Our HR team is trying to implement a point-based recognitions / incentive program (or rewards whatever you are all calling it in your companies). We are having a bit of trouble finding the right features inside MS Teams to do this. We really don't want this to live outside of Teams because you know how initiatives work in modern work: If people don't see it, they are going to forget about it in a month or two tops.
Any recommendations?

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 💞
