Nomination-based Recognition
What is Nomination-based Recognition?
Nomination-based recognition allows employees to nominate their peers for recognition based on their contributions, achievements, or behaviors. This peer-driven approach ensures that recognition is not only top-down but also happens horizontally within teams.
Why it's Important
Nomination-based recognition is important because it empowers employees to recognize one another, fostering a sense of camaraderie and appreciation across all levels of the organization. It encourages a culture of mutual respect and support.
Nomination-based Recognition in Practice
For example, employees might nominate a colleague for a monthly "Employee of the Month" award based on outstanding contributions to a project. Nominations can be made through a formal submission process or on an internal recognition platform.
