Peer recognition. Shared standards.

Bring out the best in each other

Take ownership of your work, support your colleagues and recognise the behaviours that strengthen the team.

Notice good work. Recognise its impact.

Use Trophy Markers to recognise a colleague who spots a problem early, shows sound judgement, handles a difficult conversation or follows through when it matters.

Recognition can come from peers, managers or people you support.

1. NoticeNotice a specific action that helped the team.
2. RecogniseDescribe the action and the difference it made.
3. Build on itLearn from the example and encourage others to do the same.
Recognise a contribution with a specific example. A marker acknowledges a contribution; it does not certify capability. Structured digital 360 reviews are planned. Physical marker packs are being considered and are not yet available.
