Just wanted to share a program that we started last year that our team members really enjoy.
The week before Thanksgiving do a non monetary recognition program called Thankful Week. For 5 days we release a new Thankful Week program with it's own prompt. Team members have from 11/17 - 11/23 to submit recognitions to their co workers. At the end of the program team members that submitted at least 1 recognition per day gets entered into a property drawing for a chance to win $5 in AwardCo points. We send out bulk emails releasing each prompt via AwardCo.
In 2024 for the week that the program was available just about 40% of the recognitions were solely from the Thankful Week program.
Prompts we use:
