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, Kudos by Harmony, offers 3 ways to give kudos, making it fun and engaging to acknowledge the efforts and achievements of your team members.
Giving kudos in Slack:
1. Use Reacji 💎
One of the simplest and most immediate ways to give kudos 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 kudos in Slack:
Ensure the Kudos 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 kudos.
Here's how:
Ensure Kudos 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 kudos you're giving.
3. Give kudos privately
Sometimes, a private gesture of appreciation can be more meaningful, and the Give kudos workflow offers a structured way to do this in Slack.
Here's how to use it:
Call Kudos (type /kudos) in Slack.
Select the Give kudos workflow in your Slack workspace.
Select the user you want to appreciate and specify the number of gems (💎) as your kudos.
