You can nominate your colleague for a monetary award if you have the permission for it.

View your allocated budget in your budget wallet from the left panel and nominate colleagues accordingly.  Additionally, you can opt for approval from a designated approver if your company has one assigned.

To nominate a colleague, follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1. Visit the Vantage Rewards Homepage, go to the Feed tab, and click “Recognize” in the Primary Recognition Area.

Step 2. Proceed by selecting “Nomination” in the pop-up window that appears.

Step 3. Search for the colleague(s) by name or email under the “Colleagues” tab, or explore your team under “My Team,” select, and click “Next.”

Step 4. Select the award category/values that align with the nominee’s achievements. (The categories for selecting awards are customizable and optional).

Step 5. Then, choose the award you want to give along with an image and the monetary value according to your base country. (Note: You can select different award values for each nominee.)

Step 6. In the next window, select an approver for the reward if your company has assigned one.

Step 7. Include a message of recognition. The AI-powered text prediction streamlines sentence construction by providing ready-made message templates tailored to the chosen awards.

Note: 

Business Justification: Support nomination for why the award is given. It will be sent to the approver.

Hashtags: Select hashtags that best suit the company value against the award. You can select 3 hashtags at max. 

Step 8. Tailor content visibility in the social feed based on privacy preferences. Options include “Shared”, “Restricted,” or “Private” access.

Step 9. Preview it before posting, and click on the Post button.

Upon successfully submitting the award, the approver will receive an email regarding the next steps. Once approved, a system-generated email will be sent to the employees that receive the awards.

Key Points:

• The nominator can edit or cancel nomination requests before the approver acts on them from Pending Nominations under My Dashboard.

• If the approver approves the nomination request, it may be posted in the feed as per the privacy option chosen.
• If the approver rejects it then the nominator can re-initiate the nomination request form Declined Nominations under My Dashboard.
