Why it exists
Recognition is easy to promise and hard to see. Without an app, thanks go by email or chat, points live in a spreadsheet, and nobody can tell how much of an allowance is left or whether HR’s totals are right.
Peer Recognition keeps it all in Workday. The signed-in worker is the sender, so nobody can thank on someone else’s behalf. Overspending, thanking yourself and sending the same form twice are refused.
How it works
- The employee
- Thanks a colleague by choosing them, a value (Caring, Teamwork or Excellence) and writing a short message, with 10, 25 or 50 points or none. Each quarter brings 100 points to give; the home page shows what is left, and unused points expire. They see the recognitions they have received.
- The manager
- Sees the recognitions their current direct reports have received.
- HR
- Sees every recognition in the company, page by page, with the number of recognitions and points for each value.
In the Workday tenant
How it is built
A Workday Extend app. Everything it stores and shows stays in the Workday tenant.
- Pages
- Home, Thank a colleague, Recognitions I received, My team's recognitions, Company recognitions, and one recognition in full
- Stores
- Recognitions: sender, colleague, value, message, points, date and quarter. The points left are worked out from them, so there is no second balance to drift.
- Reads from Workday
- The signed-in worker, active colleagues to choose from, and each manager's direct reports
- Who sees what
- Employees see what they received, managers their team's, and HR Administrators the whole company. Posted recognitions can't be changed.
