I created this as a tool to help management to create a nice and motivating environment for their teams.

1. Catch me…doing something good…
By Sabina Chivu

2. Purpose of the program
This initiative was created to boost the
employee morale and to enhance team
engagement.
The program is part of the set of measures
contained in the strategy designed to enhance
the company brand, so that your work place
becomes the best place to work in.

3. Goals of the program
 Celebrating and rewarding behaviors aiming
to increase the team cohesion.
Building a driver for team collaboration.
Energizing the pulse of the floor/ work place.
Identifying new improvement ideas applicable
to the entire process/ team.

4. Concept of the program
Every single day we come at work, and see the
same people around, but not necessary know
too much about them.
Most people say that they love their work when
their colleagues are also nice and, in order to
get a warm and friendly environment, this
program was created to encourage and foster a
culture of teamwork and high appreciation
within the team.

5. Concept of the program
STEP 1:
Each employee needs to spend 1 minute to
write down on the post-it what makes him/her
feeling good in that day about one or more of
their colleagues (e.g. someone helped him to
enter an order faster or offered support for
sharing the workload, someone brought a glass
of water to another colleague that was very
busy , etc).
On one side of the post-it it is written the name
of the person who did something good and on
the other side the action and the date.

6. Concept of the program
STEP 2:
Bring the post-it and insert it in a special box.
Write the name that is proposed on the
whiteboard.
Place one colored sticky dot inline to the
colleague name.

7. Concept of the program
STEP 3:
AT the end of the month, the manager counts
the colored dots and award first three positions.
The awards can be as follows, but not limited
to:
1st prize → Surprise (dinner for two, lunch with
favorite peers, SPA voucher, 1 Day off, etc)
2nd prize → ½ Day off
3rd prize → Movie ticket

8. Tools/ instruments to be used
A packaged box (can be a Xerox paper box
nicely covered)
A whiteboard
Colored sticky dots ( better to change the
color every month)
A simple pen
Whiteboard markers
Post-it
The recipient box will be placed near the board,
together with colored dots, pens, post-it and
markers, to be used when a person catch
another one... doing something good…

9. Last, but not least…
It is encouraging for everybody in the team,
including management, to see at least one dot
against each of their names on those
whiteboards, every month.
Also, there can be discovered many good ideas
for improving the process and the atmosphere
in the team.
Based on this, other prizes and motivational
tools can be developed.
