Promote peer recognition and your employee recognition scheme through Workvivo's many capabilities.
Awards
Some great Awards we have seen are:
- Quarterly and annual employee awards (nominations and or voting) - the nominations can be linked to your Values
- Hidden Hero nominations - Other clients are running similar Awards or initiatives, with many publishing a monthly news series on ‘Hidden Heroes’ - an initiative in which the organisation honours the Heroes who have made an exceptional, if hidden contribution to the organisation or community
- Fun / Culture-based Awards e.g. Best Background Star award nomination for something that adds entertainment on video calls such as pets, children, or background scenery
- Seek nominations for Positive Male Role Model as part of International Men’s Day in November

Shout-outs / Kudos
- Launch a quarterly kudos campaign - encourage colleagues to give others a shout-out with a personal note explaining why they deserve a shout-out
- World Kindness Day, November - ask colleagues to leave a comment under the post, tagging a colleague who has done something kind for you or another colleague recently

Badges
- Replace your physical recognition wall with Workvivo badges.
- Create a badge for the Award and assign it to the winners and recipients.
- Badge recipients get a notification when badges are assigned but make sure everyone else hears this too. Do a round up post every month to highlight new badge recipients.

Workday Shout-out Integration
If you have Workday for your organization, we can work with your IT team to set up the Workvivo Workday integration. When you post a shout-out on Workvivo, the shout-out contents (value, text, recipient and sender) are all added to the Feedback section of your colleague's Workday profile. Magic!
Requirements:
- Workday Admin
- Tenant name
- ISU
- Security Group
- WSDL URL
- Password
- Workday Employee IDs
Important things to note:
- The connection needs to be set up before shout-outs begin on the platform, as they can't be backdated
- The connection refreshes once per day so there can be a delay for a shout-out to appear on Workday
- Shout-outs will appear in a Workday report and Workday profile. If the shout out is deleted before the daily sync, they won’t be carried over to Workday
- The customer can choose if the Workday ID will can appear on the platform on a user’s profile or will be hidden
- If some time after set up, the shout-outs stop appearing in Workday, this means the connection has changed and may be the result of a Workday Admin password reset
