Recognition and Remarks
Recognition and Remarks is a commenting system that allows employees to send input to other employees about a recent exchange or behavioral observation at any time - not just when requested or during annual review periods. This 24/7 approach to input allows people to respond immediately and honestly while everything is fresh on their mind so they’re able to include specific details in their comments and help compile a more accurate view of employee performance.
Comments left for an employee can be associated with specific organizational and/or corporate values in order to provide even more context to the nature of the employee behaviors that inspired the unsolicited comments.
To help encourage employees to provide open and honest input regarding colleague activities, a feature setting provides an option to send input anonymously, which simply hides the name of the sender of the comments from the recipient.
Once the comments are sent, recipients are able to view the input left for them in symplr Performance. Recognition is saved in the employee profile, so both employees and managers are able to review the full history of received recognition.
Tip: If the Employee Journal is enabled, you can access your Journal page from its icon in the lower-right. Depending on your system's settings, it may either be grouped in with the Recognition and Remarks feedback options, or displayed independently.
