Awards and Recognition

  • Article

Publisher: Microsoft

Awards and Recognition is an extension of the Awards and Recognition Enterprise template, and is designed to streamline the process of nominating and recognizing your employees for their contributions and achievements.

Employees can use the copilot to select open nomination periods, such as the current quarter or calendar year, and browse different award categories tailored to their organization. The copilot guides the employee through identifying one or more people and drafting a business case for how they exemplify the award, and captures award ratings assessing the behaviors and accomplishments for that award.

After awards are approved, employees can review a history of who they've nominated for an award and the awards they've received.

Note

Templates are currently available in English only. Additionally, templates should be limited to internal use within your organization.
