• On-demand: The Manager can request recognition from HR. The Manager needs to clearly explain the reasons, projects, accomplishments, etc., for which the employee is being appreciated.
• Validation process: The recognition is validated by Human Resources and the N+1 Manager.
• It needs to be time-bound: The recognition is given right after the action for which recognition is being given.
• One-to-one recognition, and 150€ reward: The recognition is given directly to the employee and it receives a reward of 150€.
