Why This Works
A peer-nominated award announced in front of the team carries a significance that an HRIS notification cannot match. Capturing this moment transforms a one-time thank-you into a lasting piece of cultural content. The recipient can share it with their family, the team can replay it at all-hands meetings, and recruiters can send it to candidates.
Who You'll Feature
- The recipient. A reaction, in their own words.
- The nominator. The story behind why this person, why now.
- A peer or manager reading the citation aloud.
How to Capture It
- Open MarketScale → Requests → New Request. Send the nominator three prompts:
- What did they do?
- Why does it matter to the team?
- What would the work look like without them?
- Send the recipient a one-prompt request after the award: "What did this mean to you?"
- For all-hands moments, book an Onsite Video Booking. The crew captures the room, the reaction, and the applause.
- For remote recognition, use Remote recording to bring the nominator and recipient together on camera.
Reuse It (The 1:10 Framing)
One recognition moment becomes:
- A 90-second highlight clip the team and recipient can keep forever.
- A 30-second LinkedIn post from the manager.
- A 30-second post from the nominator.
- A quote graphic with the citation line.
- A slide for the next all-hands recap.
- A monthly recognition compilation.
- A recruiter asset showing how the company celebrates.
- A culture-page hero on the careers site.
- A clip the recipient pins to their LinkedIn profile.
- A pinned culture moment on your Channel feed.
Compile the year's awards into a Collection in Ready to Share that the CEO opens at the annual kickoff.
Common Mistake
Avoid reading a generic citation. "Goes above and beyond" is too vague. Anchor the recognition to a specific story, week, or outcome. The clip resonates because the details resonate.
