Remote Recognition (Definition & Ways to Celebrate Wins)
Remote recognition is how companies acknowledge and celebrate contributions in distributed teams.
What Is Remote Recognition?
Remote recognition includes public and private ways of appreciating people's work when teams do not share a physical office.
Examples of Remote Recognition
- Shout-outs in team channels or meetings
- Written thank-you messages with specific impact
- Spot bonuses or rewards
- Highlighting work in company-wide updates
Good Practices
- Make recognition specific, not generic
- Recognize contributions across roles and locations
- Avoid only praising people who are most visible in meetings
- Encourage peer-to-peer recognition, not just top-down
