Shoutout Remindres -- Shoutout Day
CultureBot’s Shoutout Day prompts your team to share recognition throughout a chosen day. You can configure kickoff, midday, and end-of-day messages to encourage participation and boost morale .
This is a great thing to look at implementing after you’ve gotten used to the basics of kudos / shoutouts sharing with the slash command.
You can configure a series of reminder messages to prompt your team to send shoutouts throughout a day of your choice (note: we recommend Friday, not only is Friday a great day of the week, it’s also the day when team morale is most likely to be at its highest – and the team can also use it to reflect back on a hard week of work done).
Set Up Shoutout Day in Slack
In the CultureBot Home tab within Slack, choose the Shoutouts Feature for configuration, and click the button "Edit/Disable Shoutout Day."
Slack users can create up to 3 separate Shoutout reminders:
- The Kickoff Message: The kickoff message is the first message of the day and can be fully customized to however you choose (note: the points/gifts part is optional, and can easily be excluded by the settings shown above). Easy access is given to send kudos – employees just have to click ‘send shoutout’ on the message from CultureBot inside Slack.
- The Middle of the Day Message: The middle of the day message is meant to keep things rolling, and catch those drifters who are too face down in their work to share kind thoughts with their team… but… not for long! They too have another chance to share.
- The End of the Day Message: And lastly… the last ditch message. This is a kind message encouraging any last stragglers to share those words of appreciation.
