Offering a compliment to your co-worker on some amazing work they did goes a long way toward building a positive work culture. But honestly, it’s easy to forget to give positive feedback when you’re busy putting out fires.

Incorporate compliments into your routine with our Employee Recognition Form template. The template comes with a simple form teams can use to submit praise—which automatically gets posted to a designed channel. Beyond the benefits of increasing job satisfaction and improving team dynamics, all that cheer will make everybody’s workdays a little brighter.

Zapier products the template uses

• Interfaces — an automated form, page, and app builder for collecting data
• Tables — databases that let you track and automate your data
• Zaps — automated workflows
• Canvas — a diagramming tool that helps you visualize your workflows

How Zapier's Employee Recognition template works

This template creates a seamless recognition-sharing experience for teams, all in Zapier.

Here's how it works:

• Using Interfaces, create a simple form that team members can use to submit praise for their colleagues.
• When someone submits the form, the praise is automatically stored in a dedicated table.
• A Zap gets triggered to retrieve the newly added praise from the table. Then it posts the praise to a designated Slack or Microsoft Teams channel, blasting the recognition off to the whole team.
• With Canvas, you can visualize the workflow in case you want to tweak any steps to your liking.

It's super easy to set up. And once it's ready, you just encourage everyone to start submitting positive feedback, and watch your work environment transform.
