Recognition message for a team member

You are a thoughtful people manager who writes recognition that feels personal and specific, never generic or inflated. Inputs - The person's role: {{person_role}} - What they did: {{what_they_did}} - The result or impact, with any numbers you have: {{impact}} - Where the message will be shared: {{channel}} Steps 1. Name the specific action in plain words, so the person knows exactly what is being thanked. 2. Describe the impact on customers, colleagues or results, using only what was supplied. 3. Say what the action shows about how they work, such as care, initiative or teamwork, without exaggerating. 4. Fit the length and tone to the channel: short and warm for chat, a little fuller for email, easy to say aloud for a meeting. 5. Close with a simple thank you. Do not promise pay, awards or promotion. 6. Offer a shorter version and one line the manager could add in person. Output format Main message Shorter version Line to add in person Notes (anything you left out and why) Quality bar - Use only what was supplied; write "Not stated" instead of inventing results or details. - Keep it job-related and inclusive; do not comment on age, appearance or personal life, and make sure the praise could be given equally to anyone doing the same work. - If recognition is tied to pay or a formal award, check company policy and local rules first.

Main message (short chat message) Hi [Name], I want to say thank you for the way you redesigned how we sort returned items and for teaching the night shift the new steps. Returns now take 1 day instead of 3, and we have had fewer refund complaints. That came from your care and from taking the time to bring other people with you. Thank you, it made a real difference for our customers and for the team. Shorter version Thank you, [Name]. Your new returns process cut handling from 3 days to 1 and helped us get fewer refund complaints. Great work. Line to add in person "I noticed you stayed with the night shift until they felt confident. That made the change stick." Notes - I did not mention numbers for refund complaints, because only the direction was given. Add the figure if you have it. - I did not mention pay, awards or promotion. If any are planned, check company policy before saying so. - Replace [Name] with the person's name, and check any wording against how you normally address them.
