The Power of Shoutouts

Getting recognized for a job well done also contributes to a happy workplace. In August of 2019, Blue KC launched ShoutOuts, our new internal, online recognition platform.

ShoutOuts quickly became a fun and highly visible way for employees throughout the company to recognize one another. Any employee can submit recognition of another employee or group of employees based on criteria that support the Blue KC mission and vision as well as the core competencies for all roles.

More than 3,100 recognitions have been submitted since the launch of ShoutOuts, with over 4,000 likes and 1,700 comments. The most commonly selected criteria for recognition were Fostering Collaboration and Teamwork, and Delivering Exceptional Results.
