Peer Recognition Form
Peer recognition is one of the most powerful drivers of employee engagement and retention. This form allows team members to nominate colleagues who exemplify company values, go above and beyond, or simply deserve appreciation. Recognition can be tied to specific values, achievements, or everyday helpfulness. The form supports both public shout-outs and private appreciation, making it flexible for different workplace cultures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is peer recognition important?
Peer recognition boosts engagement by 14%, reduces turnover by 31%, and increases productivity. It's more meaningful than top-down recognition because colleagues see day-to-day efforts. Regular peer recognition builds team cohesion and reinforces company values organically.
Should recognition be public or private?
Offer both options. Public recognition amplifies impact and inspires others. Private recognition is important for those who prefer quiet appreciation or for sensitive situations. This form allows the nominator to choose visibility level.
How do I integrate recognition with company values?
Customize the 'Values Demonstrated' section with your company's core values. This connects recognition to culture and helps reinforce what behaviors matter. Track which values are recognized most to identify cultural strengths and gaps.
What should I do with recognition submissions?
Share public recognitions in team meetings, Slack channels, or newsletters. Consider monthly awards for most-recognized employees. Track recognition patterns to identify unsung heroes and ensure appreciation is distributed fairly across teams.
How can I encourage more peer recognition?
Make recognition easy and quick (this form takes 2 minutes). Celebrate submissions publicly. Consider gamification like recognition leaderboards. Lead by example - managers should actively recognize. Set team goals for recognition frequency.
