What is the Shoutouts Feed?
The Shoutouts Feed is a new feature that allows team members to publicly recognize and celebrate each other's accomplishments, milestones, and successes. It's a social feed within WorkStory where team members can share shoutouts with each other, providing positive feedback, and boosting morale.
Why is the Shoutouts Feed important?
The Shoutouts Feed provides an opportunity for team members to feel valued and appreciated for their hard work and contributions.
It can help to build a positive work culture and foster stronger team relationships. It's a powerful tool for boosting morale, increasing employee engagement, and creating a sense of community within your organization.
How does the Shoutouts Feed work?
The Shoutouts Feed allows team members to post messages praising their colleagues. These messages are populated when a team member provides feedback during a review and elects to make it Public. Alternatively, team members can leave feedback for each other directly from the feed.
Any feedback comments added to the feed will also be posted to the respective team member's dashboard for future reference in performance conversations.
Adding the Public Feedback Visibility Option
If you'd like to make sure your team is able to provide feedback publicly, posting to the Shoutouts Feed in the process, you can do so as an administrator from the Organization Settings page.
In Organization Settings, make sure you have the top-most option, "Share review in public feedback feed" selected.
With that, future reviews will show that option for team members when they're providing their feedback.
Can the Shoutouts be moderated?
The feed is accessible to all team members and can be moderated by managers and designated administrators to ensure that the content is appropriate to be shared publicly.
If you need to edit a feedback comment, click on the "edit" button and adjust the comment text or visibility as necessary.
