It's recommended to launch Recognition with your leadership team first, so they can become familiar with the tool. For quick adoption, launch Recognition with the rest of your employees within the following week.
Send adoption emails shortly after the organization-wide launch or in times of lower Recognition activity to increase Recognition usage across your organization.

I am excited to announce the kick-off of Recognition!
We recently conducted an organization-wide survey to understand how we can improve as an employer. This survey revealed an exciting opportunity to invest in recognition. We chose to partner with Quantum Workplace and use their Recognition tool to make it easier to bring visibility to the great work that each of us do daily. This will help us make employees feel valued and improve employee engagement and in turn create a happier and more productive workplace.

Recognition for a job well done has a profound impact on morale. When recognizing a co-worker in our new Recognition tool, here are three things to keep in mind to make your recognition impactful.
- Specific: Use details to help people visualize where and when this event has occurred.
- Impactful: Include the impact of the behavior or event and/or who it affected.
- Energetic: Be creative and keep it fun through your word choice.
Example: Business Impact - Excellence
Jackie secured a new market in Madison, Wisconsin. In this instance, we're taking over an existing program that historically had 100+ participants and delivering participant value light speed ahead of their previous offering. #MakeItHappen
Example: Office Behavior - ServiceThanks to Kristin, Matt, and Wes for always taking the time to load/unload our dishwasher. It's a thankless job that no one enjoys and most of us avoid, but you three (and others, I'm sure) help out our office family. Thanks for being such great servant leaders!
Example: Skill – Extra-Mile
Fist bump to Mark for leading an experiment that helped decide strategy for our website navigation. He had to create 3 fully functional prototypes to do user testing. Then he created highlight reels that helped us make an informed decision - and saved a ton of time. To top it off, he convinced Sean Connery to use our products.
