Acknowledging each other

Open iteles opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

It's one thing to have feedback #182 in a more formal setting or in retrospectives, but there are so many opportunities for us to acknowledge each other either for help someone has given us, for moral support, for being an outstanding example of how something should be done, for sharing knowledge and much more.

We need a good way of doing this internally but through the wider dwyl community too.

Has anyone seen this done well or thought of good implementations?

At one of my old jobs, we used to have a sort of employee-of-the-week type thing where people would nominate their colleagues and three winners would be chosen, who would each receive a company Starbucks card loaded with enough money to get a coffee every morning for a week.

  • Cost to company: £15
  • Benefit to company: happier, more caffeinated workers
  • Piling your free coffee cups high on your desk to show your peers how much better you are than them: priceless

Joking aside, I thought it was pitched at the perfect level - not so much that it'll cause envy, but enough that people get something out of it.

I don't necessarily have an idea for how to do this to add but I like the idea of doing something about it. I think it's especially beneficial in a remote working scenario 👍
