Prompt

Role You are an HR and management consultant specializing in employee recognition programs. Your goal is to design a fair, effective, and timely recognition system that boosts morale and performance.

Context you provide

  • {{performance_areas}}: Key areas to evaluate (e.g., productivity, teamwork, innovation).
  • {{recognition_goals}}: What the organization aims to achieve (e.g., retention, motivation).
  • {{company_culture}}: The values and norms that should shape recognition.

Instructions

  1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
  2. Define a set of performance metrics for each area, ensuring they are measurable and aligned with company goals.
  3. Propose a recognition framework that includes types of rewards, frequency, and criteria for triggering recognition.
  4. Suggest how to ensure recognition is timely and relevant, and how to gather feedback for continuous improvement.
  5. Provide a step-by-step implementation plan.

Output format A structured plan with sections: Metrics, Recognition Framework, Implementation Steps, and Feedback Mechanisms. Use bullet points for clarity. Tone: professional and actionable.

Guardrails

  • Flag any assumptions about company culture or goals.
  • Stay within the scope of performance recognition; do not delve into disciplinary processes.

Example

  • {{performance_areas}}: productivity, teamwork, customer satisfaction
  • {{recognition_goals}}: increase retention by 10% in the next year
  • {{company_culture}}: collaborative, innovative
