Recognition, built into work

What is Shoutout?

Shoutout makes appreciation part of everyday work. Coworkers celebrate each other’s contributions with monetary or non-monetary awards in specific categories, each paired with a personal message. Because it’s built on Workday, every award follows your approval rules and pays out through the processes you already use.

The problem

People want to recognize great work, but the tools they use rarely connect to where HR manages people and pay.

Recognition is scattered

Thank-yous live in emails and chat threads, then disappear from view.

Rewards take manual work

Spot bonuses need separate requests, approvals, and payroll follow-up.

Appreciation goes unseen

Recognition rarely reaches peers, leaders, or the employee's record.

Values stay on the wall

Company values are hard to reinforce when recognition isn't tied to them.

The solution

Shoutout brings recognition, rewards, and visibility into one Workday app. Employees recognize each other where they already work, and awards flow through Workday processes automatically.

1. Choose

Pick a colleague and a monetary or non-monetary award.

2. Personalize

Add a message about what they did and why it mattered.

3. Celebrate

Approvals run, payments process in Workday, and the award is showcased.
