Take Action
Sparck's biggest advantage is personalization, as we gather recognition preferences from each person to understand how they would feel most appreciated in the workplace!
Your New Super Power: This feature allows you to stay connected with significant moments for your team members when acknowledgement from you would mean the most. We provide you with detailed information on their recognition, and what type of recognition would be most meaningful from you (private, public, etc..), empowering you to take swift and effective action from this interface to express gratitude for their achievements.
Take Action Overview
When you select the "Take Action" option, you will be guided to the screen highlighted below. We will guide you through the steps to efficiently and promptly take meaningful action.
Beginning with the options on the left-hand side of the menu bar, which highlighted in red below, we will explain each section in detail:
- Who Was Recognized: Provides details on individuals who have received recognition and would find it most meaningful to receive acknowledgment from you.
- By Whom: Provides information on the person who provided recognition to each individual.
- Recognition Event: The type of recognition received, such as for a birthday, work anniversary, or other recognition program within your organization.
- Details: Displays information about the recognition message, but only if it was shared publicly. If the recognition was kept private, these details will not be visible to you.
- Reward: Indicates whether a reward was provided and specifies the nature of the reward.
- Recognize Them This Way: Highlights the preferred method for receiving recognition from you that would be most meaningful.
Now, take advantage of the opportunity to promptly take action using your Action options.
Please take note: There is a Status dropdown at the top right of this screen that allows you to filter by Open, Completed, and Deleted recognitions. This feature helps you stay updated on the most current opportunities available.
We will explore each option to help you easily take action according to their recognition preferences.
- Sparck Logo: By clicking on the Sparck Logo, you can easily access the Recognize! Screen to send a personalized message, either publicly or privately, to show your appreciation. (In the example above, you can see a personal note would mean the most - this would be perfect!)
- Calendar Icon: This functionality enables you to schedule a reminder in your calendar (iCalendar File) containing the recognition details to ensure you don't miss any important moments. This is particularly helpful for those who wish to receive shout-outs during staff meetings or recognize individuals during one-on-one meetings without forgetting.
- Comment Icon: By clicking this icon, you can navigate directly to the recognition post on the newsfeed, allowing you to "like" and comment on that specific recognition for this individual. However, if the recognition was sent privately, this feature won't be enabled.
- Green Checkmark Icon: Once you have finished the recognition, you can click on the green check mark to indicate that it has been completed.
- Red X Icon: You have the option to dismiss any recognitions that are presented to you on the action screen.
