In the dynamic world of Slack, where team communication and collaboration are essential, recognizing and appreciating your coworkers is vital for a positive and motivating work environment.
Our recognition app, Props by Harmony, offers 3 ways to give props, making it fun and engaging to acknowledge the efforts and achievements of your team members.
Giving props in Slack:
1. Use Reacji 💎
One of the simplest and most immediate ways to give props in Slack is by using the 💎 emoji reaction. This method is quick, effective, and adds a visual element of appreciation to the conversation.
Here's how you can give props in Slack:
Ensure the Props by Harmony is invited to your Slack channel.
Then, navigate to the message of the coworker you want to appreciate.
Click on the Add reaction button and select the 💎 emoji and ta-da!
2. Mention coworker with gems 💎
If you prefer a more personalized approach, you can mention your coworker directly in a channel and add gems 💎 in your message to denote the number of props.
Here's how:
Ensure Props by Harmony is part of the channel where you mention your coworker.
Type out a message in the channel mentioning your coworker using the @ symbol followed by their name.
Include the 💎 emoji in your message; the number of 💎 emojis indicates the number of props you're giving.
3. Give props privately
Sometimes, a private gesture of appreciation can be more meaningful, and the Give props workflow offers a structured way to do this in Slack.
Here's how to use it:
Call Props (type /props) in Slack.
Select the Give props workflow in your Slack workspace.
Select the user you want to appreciate and specify the number of gems (💎) as your props.
