Phase 1: Planning

Step 1: Prior to initiating the campaign, create a list of your goals, desired outcomes, and a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor the program’s success effectively.

Example GOAL: Increase the number of yearly innovations that directly contribute to company’s strategic goals and desired outcomes.  

Example KPIs:

#1: Number of nominations

#2: Number of nominated people or teams

#3: Number of nominations per company value  

Here’s how to set up the program within JobPts.

Step 2: Create transparent program guidelines and description

Each program should contain a proper and catchy description and representative image. Make sure you have this created so you can upload it within JobPts.

Here’s an example: A nomination program that enables employees to nominate 3 coworkers and vote twice (for different individuals)

Step 3: Configure the program: set up program eligibility, points, limit nominations, and votes.

Consider: Connect employee nominations directly with your core company values.

Through this program, employees will be able to submit three nominations and two votes.  

Phase 2: Communication

Effective communication is crucial for success. Ensure your communication plan covers before, during, and after the program implementation. Tailor it to include a mix of digital and offline channels for maximum impact.
