What are nominations?

Nominations are an awesome way to involve team members in the celebration of peers. More powerful than a peer-to-peer shoutout, a nomination-based program allows an organization to crowdsource exceptional stories and moments from team members that align to specific Awards. Think more traditionally of an Employee of the Month or Partner of the Quarter program or get far more creative, nominations facilitate the process beginning to end for you.
