# How to Recognize

Be Recognized makes it simple to highlight contributions that matter. You can recognize peers or teams in a way that’s personal, meaningful, and aligned with your company’s values.

### **Steps to Send Recognition**

1.  **Access recognition options:**
    -   Click **Recognition** on the Wall page
    -   Or choose an action under **Create a Post**. 
2.  **Select recipients:**
    -   Click **+Add Users** to search and select employee names in the bar.
    -   You can also use **group recognition** to celebrate team efforts by selecting **Department Name** or **Location Name**.
3.  **Choose recognition details:**
    -   Select a recognition level (value tier). It determines the number of points or the redeemable value of the award being nominated. 
    -   Pick a nomination category (aligned with company values).
    -   Hover to see category descriptions.
4.  **Write the recognition story:**
    -   Share why you’re recognizing the person or group.
    -   Use AI Recognition Coaching to refine text if you want. AI Recognition Coaching helps with tone and content by combining the existing employee-entered recognition message, the nomination categories, and a desired tone to draft a recognition message that is personal and specific to the behaviors being celebrated.
    -   Optionally add images or GIFs.
5.  **Adjust visibility:**
    -   Default is public (visible to all)
    -   Toggle **“Post privately**” button for recognition visible only to sender and recipient.
6.  **Submit:**
    -   Click **Recognize**
    -   Receive confirmation
    -   (Optional) Download a printable PDF certificate

**Best practice:** Be specific and genuine. Link recognition to company values for the greatest impact.
