How the Recognition module works

Amélio helps employers develop and sustain a strong culture of appreciation through simple actions.

The tool allows employees and managers to highlight the accomplishments of their colleagues by facilitating the sharing of recognition.

Here's how it works

There are two simple ways to offer recognition through Amélio: by making nominations at the end of a survey, or by sending spontaneous recognition directly from the platform.

Nominations at the end of the survey

At the end of the survey, questions are asked to allow employees to nominate a colleague who has recently stood out and comment on their their accomplishment.

The nominations will then appear on the dashboards of the relevant employees. The manager of any employee who receives recognition will also be notified, enabling them to congratulate their team members on their achievements.

When can nominations be made?

Nominations are only at the end of the survey. They are based on the question of the week.

When are the nominations sent?

Nominations are compiled throughout the week and are sent on Friday at noon.
Users who receive a nomination will be notified by email. The manager will also receive an email for any nominations awarded to their employees.

Can nominations be personalized with a comment?

Yes. After submitting a nomination, the system will prompt you to add comments. If a comment is added, it will be treated as a recognition and sent immediately.


The nomination will also be sent on Friday with the others. When nominating someone, it is not mandatory to add a comment. Instead, you could choose to identify a person in your nomination.

Spontaneous recognitions sent directly from the platform

Employees and managers can share their colleagues' achievements at any time using the Send Praise tool on their dashboard or from the Praise tab.

They can share a success or congratulate a colleague directly within the platform by selecting the relevant employee and specifying who they want this recognition to be visible to.

A notification is sent instantly to the user and their manager, and the recognition is also displayed on the dashboard according to the selected audience.

Who can see the comments?

Recognition can be visible on the dashboard of certain individuals only or throughout the company. The person sending the recognition can determine this based on the following options:

  • Visible to the recipient only

  • Visible to the recipient's team

  • Visible to the recipient's department

  • Visible to the entire company

Who can receive recognition?

It is possible to send recognition to an employee, multiple employees at once, and to any group of employees.

This means that you can send recognition to a department, as well as to a group created using a custom attribute (for example, to a specific service).

Notifications

Employees are notified by email about recognitions they have received or that have been shared across the organization. For those who prefer to receive fewer notifications, Amélio allows each user to customize their notification settings according to their preferences.

Here are the simple instructions you can share with employees if needed: Notification customization.

Customizing the Notification Audience

💡Would you like all employees to receive a notification when recognition is shared with the entire organization? Follow these steps:

  1. From the left menu, select Administration > Customization;

  2. In the Praise tab, check the following options:

  • Allow recognition sharing to company-wide;

  • Allow emails when feedback share to whole company.

How can I view the feedback sent/received by an employee?

Using the search bar in the tab specific to this module, you can search for feedback received and/or sent by an employee. Among other things, this allows an employee to view his own feedback or a manager to view the feedback sent and received by his employees.

Confidentiality comes first. It will not be possible for a manager to view an employee's feedback that has not been shared with him. This can happen when the employee reports to another manager and has shared feedback exclusively with his team.

Using the module

The module requires that employees have access to the Amélio platform to view recognition and to comment at any time.
