Getting your peer recognition program started on the right foot is important. You want your employees to be excited about the program, understand all the procedures and be eager to earn some great prizes!

We’ve talked about throwing a Spot On Kick Off Event once before. Now, we’re able to share our experiences from the program kick off with you in a complete event guide. The guide has lots of information and ideas to help you plan a great event.

You can download the PDF guide in the Downloads section of our website. You must be registered on the site, but registration has all sorts of great perks! It allows you to download all the materials available on the site, like our user guide, epraise cards, printable certificates and Spot On clip art.

Once you’ve used the guide to throw your own Kick Off event, tell us about it! Become a fan of Spot On on Facebook. On the Facebook page, you can upload pictures and videos of your program and share stories of unique ways you’re using Spot. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

When we created the Spot On Recognition Program, we made sure it came with everything you needed to start recognizing peers right away. But we don’t stop there. We’re dedicated to helping you motivate, engage and retain your workforce, so we’ve added extra tools in the Downloads section of the Spot On website to complement your program.

Recognition programs often start off to a bang when the program is new and exciting to employees. However, as time goes on that excitement can wane. It’s important to continually add fresh ideas and activities to maintain program momentum. For ideas on how to keep your peer-to-peer recognition program thriving, visit the Baudville blog for an article on the subject.
 
When you register on the Spot On website, you receive access to several exclusive downloads that add interest to your program and assist in communications. New to the Spot On website are printable certificates. We created four different certificate options, and all you have to do is print, write in the recipient’s name and present. Use certificates to pass out praise to employees who don’t earn the top Spot award, but have a high level of participation or are a close runner-up.

You’ll also find special Spot On ecards to use as part of your program communications, internal flyers to help spread news about Spot, extra user guides and clip art. All of these resources are available for free when you register to use the website.

We hope you find these resources valuable, and we know the only more valuable is to learn how other Spot On program users are using them. So tell us how it’s going! Post a comment on the blog or add a story to our Facebook page. We know these handy downloads will help with you program, but we know the best advice comes from peers who are using the same program as you.
