Your recognition priorities
Make the appreciation specific to the work
Start with the completed contribution you want to recognize. The source record helps the manager name what the person did and prepare a message that fits the contribution.
Connected work across your team
Turn completed work into a reviewed thank-you
Your manager selects a completed contribution, reviews a private draft and chooses whether to send it directly to the contributor. The message stays tied to the work being recognized.
Manager → completed-work record
Open the work behind the appreciation
Select an eligible completed contribution and inspect its source. In the walkway example, the useful contribution is reporting the scanner-cable hazard and helping check the corrected route.
- Eligible completed work
- The actual source record
- The useful action to recognize

Connected information and agent support

Your questions
Practical questions about contribution-based recognition
What makes the thank-you specific?
Name the useful action supported by the source work. In the walkway example, thank the person for reporting the cable hazard and helping check the corrected route. Review the wording in the manager’s own voice before sending.
Who decides whether the message is sent?
The sender reviews the private draft, edits the wording if needed and confirms the direct recipient before sending. They can also dismiss the suggestion.
What if the source work changes?
The existing suggestion pauses when its source work or relevant access changes. Dismiss that draft and prepare a new suggestion from the current eligible contribution, then review the wording and recipient again.
Does the thank-you need a reward?
A direct thank-you can stand on its own. If your site runs a reward program, use its separate recognition and points-approval steps; the recipient chooses a claim, and the responsible owner records fulfilment under the configured rules.
