Bright Ideas – Marketing Department Peer Recognition Program Revamp

Created a form for “Bright Idea” nominations which included the opportunity to show how the nomination demonstrated one of the overall company People Powers

Created signage and a nomination drop box that was housed in a central location within the department

Once a month, a nomination was chosen at random as the “winner” – all nominations were posted for visibility, and the “winner” was given a hanging star (printed on sintra board) to display on their cubicle for the month, which prompted passers-by to “ask about my bright idea”.

The program was well received, with numerous nominations each month, instilled pride within all nominees, and sparked conversations about the bright ideas, leading to even more engagment with the program.

A version of the idea was later adopted by the company/HR department, and transformed into company-wide “People Power Awards” recognition program. (see “People Powers Awards program materials)
