The Wish
• Peer recognition program that incentivize employees to participate
• Must be easy to use, low cost and easy to maintain
• Employees can recognize any other employee throughout the
company as many times as they like
• Automated email notifications
• Employees can see who they recognized and who recognized them
• Managers can see who and what was recognized
Brainstorming Time
• What shall we call it?
• Let’s make it pretty (https://pixabay.com/)
• Oh no, our frog only has 4 toes (SnagIt)
The Concept
Take Five to Give Five
Take 5 minutes to give 5 points to a fellow co-worker and recognize
their outstanding work. You also receive 1 point for recognizing
someone.
Time to Get to Work
• Let’s build the site
• Create a Picture Library to store our artwork
• Build a custom list to store the High Five recognitions
• Build a second custom list to store the drawing entries
• Build a dashboard page to summarize information
Creating the Custom List
Create columns:
• Recipient (Field Type: Person or Group)
• Recognition (Field Type: Multiple lines of text, Rich text for spell check purposes)
Additional Form Fields
• Submitter
• Date Submitted
• Year, Quarter, Month
• Recipient and Submitter:
• First Name, Last Name, Division, SubDivision, SubSubDivision,
Supervisor Level 1, 2, and 3
• High Five Recognition Board
• Character count
Form Rules
• 350 character limit for recognition and character count
• You can’t “High Five” yourself
• Submit display message
Initial Processing Workflow
• Update the demographic fields
• Update High Five Recognition Board field
• Set the supervisory fields
• Create the High Five Drawing Entries
• Send out an email
Deleting a High Five
• Used to prevent people getting drawing entries if they
delete an existing High Five
• PowerShell script
• Create table of High Five list IDs
• Read each drawing entry and check to see if High Five
list ID is in the table
• If not, delete the drawing entry
Monthly Drawings
• Export to Excel
• Filter list to current month
• Random Number Generator

Home Page
• InfoPath webpart for submission
• High Five list with Recognition Board field (no toolbar)
• Content Editor Webpart to remove column headers
<style> TR.ms-viewheadertr {DISPLAY: none}</style>
Information Management Policy Settings
Purge Drawing Entries

Purge High Fives

The Moral of the Story
• It doesn’t have to be hard
• It doesn’t have to be dull and boring
• It can be done out-of-the-box
• Have fun
