Recognition

Recognition is where people give named credit for work that set the standard. It is the part of the performance system that happens the same week the work did, rather than months later in a review.

It sits in the sidebar under People › Performance, beside Feedback, Reviews and Review rounds.

What to do first

Give one with Give Recognition at the top of the page. The wall is only worth reading if people write on it.

The wall

Two tabs: Recognition Wall, the feed across the workspace, and My Recognitions, the ones that involve you. Alongside them: a prompt to give recognition, Suggested by Rople, and a leaderboard of the most generous.

The suggestions are drawn from what actually happened: a goal or key result completed, a review outcome, a learning achievement, strong 360 feedback. Rople points at the event and you decide whether it deserves saying out loud.

Giving recognition

Pick one or more Recipients, pick a Badge, and write the Message.

Badges are your workspace's own, grouped, and most of them map to a competency. You can also tag Competencies directly. Recognising somebody against a competency records it, which is what makes recognition usable as evidence later.

The message is the part that matters. A badge without a sentence is a reaction; a badge with a sentence is a record of what somebody did.

Link to attaches the work it was for: a goal or key result, a review outcome, a learning achievement or a piece of 360° feedback.

Visibility is Company (everyone), Team (their team) or Private (only them). A preview shows how it will look before you send it.

My recognitions

The My Recognitions tab on the wall: what you have been given and what you have given, with a count of each. Useful when writing a self assessment, because it is a list of specific things with dates on them.

How it connects

  • Recognition received lands in your Inbox, in the feed rather than the inbox tab, because it is news rather than a task.
  • It is evidence in Reviews.
  • Badges and the competency framework are set in Organisation › Structure, under Recognition Badges and Competency Framework. See Admin.
  • Participation appears in Manager Cockpit and People analytics.
  • Recognitions given in a cycle are counted in Intelligence › Cycles.

Common questions

Is recognition anonymous? No. It always carries the giver's name, and credit without a name attached is worth less to both people. Visibility decides who else can read it.

Can I give recognition to my manager? Yes. Recognition is not directional.

Who sets the badges? The workspace, in Organisation › Structure › Recognition Badges. A badge list that reads like the company is a badge list people use.

Does recognition affect someone's rating? Not automatically. It is evidence a reviewer can read, not a number that moves a score.
