🧼 TL;DR:
Create weekly shoutout themes to encourage engagement
Helps managers and teammates build a habit of recognition
Use values, GIFs, and photos to make it stick
📆 Why Weekly Themes Work
Recognition isn’t just about big moments—it’s about consistency.
Weekly themes give your team a reason to celebrate each other regularly without it feeling forced.
They also make it easier for managers to remember to give praise—and for teams to join in.
💡 Theme Ideas to Get You Started
🚀 Above & Beyond Mondays
Start the week with a bang. Highlight someone who went out of their way to help, solve a problem, or show leadership.
🙌 Team Player Tuesday
Shout out a colleague who had someone’s back, helped cover a shift, or showed collaboration in action.
💡 Wisdom Wednesday
Share something someone taught you this week—could be a tip, a policy reminder, or a “watch out for this” moment.
🤝 Thankful Thursday
Gratitude goes a long way. Encourage thank-you posts to coworkers, cross-functional teams, or managers.
🛍️ Customer Shoutout Friday
Share customer compliments or frontline wins. Especially great for retail, sales, and service teams.
📸 Boost Engagement with Media
Don’t just write it—show it. Encourage:
GIFs to match the tone
Photos of the person or their work
Tags + #corevalues so it appears in Smart Feed and the leaderboard
💡 Pro Tip:
Rotate themes monthly or let different teams “host” a week.
Example: HR runs "Team Player Tuesday" org-wide in July. In August, let Store Managers own “Customer Shoutout Friday.” That way, it stays fresh—and everyone gets involved.
