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.
We usually recommend setting up a separate Team for your Shoutouts program. This way, any Teams setup for gifting would only have managers empowered with budgets. Learn more about how many Teams you should setup.
Here are the steps to rollout a Team Shoutouts program:
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
Create a Team for you and 1-2 other key admins to play around in
Set up Team Settings: Platform and Email Branding and Notifications
Create a list of Shoutouts Reasons, we recommend core values
Decide if you'd like all Shoutouts to be approved by Team Admins
Decide if you'd like to hide the Leaderboard from Team Members
Determine the appropriate pricing plan
Load all employees who will be sending or receiving Shoutouts
Track all Shoutouts that have been made
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?
