Give a teammate a virtual shout-out
How to do it:
- Pick someone who deserves to be recognized for great work.
- Post your shout-out in a digital channel – include what the person did, how it helped you and how it reflects your company’s or team’s values.
- Bonus: Make it a regular thing! Set a calendar reminder to give a shout-out twice a month.
Why it works:
- A public shout-out lets everyone join in congratulating the employee, extending its impact.
- Praising in a digital channel (as opposed to a live meeting) ensures introverted employees won’t feel like they are being put “on the spot”.
- We’re more likely to forget to do this when we’re apart – setting reminders means good work will continue to get recognized!
- And employees who feel valued are 2x less likely to look for a new job.
