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.
