Chelsey Sperry has taken on her new role with energy and enthusiasm! That energy has translated into some aggressive goals for this quarter…

#RadicalOwnership
The problem

Most people don’t feel recognised at work.

22%of employees get the right amount of recognition.
55%get no recognition — or none that means anything.
45%less likely to leave when they’re recognised well.

The core idea

Make your values something people live, not something they read.

Most companies write values on a slide and never mention them again. Here, your people prove them — one applaud at a time.

A real applaud

Rewrote the ingest pipeline the slow, correct way instead of shipping the patch that would have bitten us in six months.

#QualityByChoice
Tag every value an applaud earns. That’s what turns praise into a chart you can act on.

The platform

Everything recognition needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Everything it takes to make appreciation a habit — no points budget, no rewards contract.

ApplaudsMost distinctive

Anyone can thank anyone, and every thank-you names the value it proves. Over time, that becomes the clearest picture of your culture you’ve ever had.

Marcus → Andrew#QualityByChoiceRebuilt the shift-scheduling flow so it reads as one product.
Anonymous → Owen#RadicalOwnershipCaught the release flake before Friday.
Anonymous is the default. The sender decides whether to sign it before it posts.
Values

Your values, in your words — loaded on day one.

#QualityByChoice118
#RadicalOwnership74
#CustomerObsession11
A value nobody applauds is a value nobody is living. That is the report.
CelebrationsMost used

Birthdays and anniversaries, never missed. Ellie reminds the team before the day, not after.

Admin insightsMost load-bearing

Participation rates hide people. This shows you exactly who received nothing — so you can fix it this week.

40 of 42 received an applaud in 30 days
Felix and Owen received none — both are giving
A coverage gap you can name is a coverage gap a manager can close this week.
Momentum

Progress weighted toward giving.

Generosity is as visible as acclaim — so people keep noticing each other.

Two things we’re building next.

Swag store

Claps people can actually spend — on merch you already own. The retreat t-shirts in a cupboard stop being a sunk cost.

Remote Coffee

Fifteen minutes on a Friday with three or four people you’d otherwise never meet. Opt in once; the invite arrives every week.

Your team’s next applaud starts here.

Someone on your team deserves a thank-you today. Try the real composer — it takes ten seconds.
