Shoutouts

Shoutouts enable employees to recognize each other across your organization.

For example, if someone from your marketing department wants to compliment their graphic designer teammate publicly, they can write up a quick paragraph and have it posted to the graphic designer’s employee profile. The “shoutout” appears on their profile page and is visible to anyone who views the employee profile.

You can even track which of your employees have received shoutouts from others by using the Data Sheet page. Encouraging your teams to use shoutouts helps foster a positive culture.

Give an employee a shoutout

Any employee can give another employee a shoutout and shoutouts are visible to all employees through respective employee profile pages.

2. In the Org Chart, select the employee whose profile you want to view.
3. In the employee's profile summary, select View profile.
4. Choose Shoutout from the Complete tasks menu.

Installing the Shoutout bundle

If your ChartHop package did not come with the Shoutout bundle installed, you can install it.

You can customize the shoutout form that employees use to give shoutouts. You can modify the text on the dialog, as well as add ways to add additional information aside from just filling in text. If your organization uses Slack and has integrated ChartHop with Slack, you can also configure shoutouts to automatically be sent to a specific Slack channel.

You can add additional fields to the Shoutout form that is used and customize the text used on the dialog box that the employees see.

1. From the left sidebar, select the Settings menu (gear icon) and select Forms.
2. Select the Shoutout form from the list.
3. In the Form builder, make the changes you want.
4. After making your changes, select Preview to view how the form will appear.
