This article will guide program administrators on how to set-up Shoutouts for their recognition program!
​

Note: If your company has firewalls preventing employees from viewing certain websites or has email filtering, get your IT department to whitelist guusto.com and guus.to domains. This will prevent from emails landing in the spam/junk mail folders and web pages not loading properly.

Here are the steps to rollout a Team Shoutouts program:

  1. Decide how you plan to incentivize your employees to participate in Shoutouts - a weekly draw for a $50 Guusto gift, a free lunch for every 3 Shoutouts received etc

  2. Create a Team for you and 1-2 other key admins to play around in

  3. Set up Team Settings: Platform and Email Branding and Notifications

  4. Create a list of Shoutouts Reasons, we recommend core values

  5. Decide if you'd like all Shoutouts to be approved by Team Admins

  6. Decide if you'd like to hide the Leaderboard from Team Members

  7. Determine the appropriate pricing plan

  8. Notify all Team Members about Shoutouts via an email

  9. Load all employees who will be sending or receiving Shoutouts

  10. Track all Shoutouts that have been made

  11. See what Shoutouts Reasons are being used the least/most

  12. Filter Shoutouts by Date, Admin Notes, Sender, Recipient, Reason, Status

Looking to implement a monetary recognition program, where managers would be empowered with budgets to send gifts?
