Context you provide

• {{program_goals}}: The objectives of the recognition program (e.g., improve retention, celebrate achievements).

• {{reward_examples}}: Types of rewards that are feasible and meaningful.

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Define clear, fair, and transparent recognition criteria that align with company values.
3. Suggest a variety of creative and meaningful rewards that cater to different preferences.
4. Propose methods for implementing the program, including communication and tracking mechanisms.
5. Outline key components for success, such as leadership involvement and regular feedback.
6. Provide tips for avoiding common pitfalls.

Output format Deliver a structured plan with sections: objectives, criteria, rewards, implementation steps, and success metrics. Use bullet points for clarity.

• Flag any assumptions about employee preferences or budget.
• Keep the program design within the scope of the stated goals.

Example

• {{program_goals}}: "Recognize employees for going above and beyond."
