Announcing Improved Analytics for Nectar Shoutouts

Ever shout out a teammate for crushing a big project and think, “Is anyone else giving them a round of applause?”

If your answer is “Probably not,” you’re not alone. Many companies have well-meaning recognition programs, but no real way to see if that appreciation actually lands—or if it’s just floating around in cyberspace. We’ve heard it all: “I wish I knew who’s being recognized and who’s slipping through the cracks.” That’s exactly why we’re launching our brand-new Shoutouts Report for 2025. It’s the perfect way to see who’s sharing the love, who’s on the receiving end, and even which core values are being celebrated the most.

Some of our Nectar Champions already have the Shoutous Report enabled in their account. We’re rolling this to all customers throughout January, so if it’s not in your account it will be in the next few weeks.

A Fresh Start for 2025: Why Shoutouts Matter

When you log into the Shoutouts Report, you’re not just skimming numbers—you’re getting a window into your company’s heart and culture. Each graph, table, and trend line helps answer questions like:

• Who’s consistently sending recognition? (Hint: They might just be your quiet culture champions.)
• Which employees are stacking up the most kudos? (Time to send them an extra thanks—or spread the spotlight around!)
• Are certain departments or locations lagging behind? (Maybe they need a gentle nudge or a new initiative to encourage recognition.)

Essentially, it’s your new home base for understanding where appreciation thrives—and where it could use a little boost.

Meet the Shoutouts Report

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, here’s a snapshot of what you’ll find in the Shoutouts Report:

• Total Shoutouts Sent - Ever wonder if recognition is flowing freely or if your team is living in a kudos desert? Now you’ll see it all—when shoutouts spike, when they slump, and how they trend over time.
  
  
• Top Senders (a.k.a. Your Recognition Rockstars) - Every team has that one person who’s the first to say, “Great job!” The Shoutouts Report shines a spotlight on these unsung heroes, so you can give them the high-five they deserve.
  
  
• Most Recognized (and Those Who Need a Hug) - Celebrate your most recognized employees, but also keep an eye on those who’ve received zero shoutouts. Sometimes, a quick check-in is all it takes to make someone feel noticed.
  
  
• By Department & By Core Value - Curious if Marketing is outshining Finance in team spirit? Or which core value is winning hearts across the company? Now you can slice and dice your data by department or by the values you’ve championed—like Innovation, Teamwork, or Customer First—to see which ones are getting the most love.

Now let’s dive into each of the reports.
