The "Display Wall" feature allows you to display Recognition & Suggestion data on large screens in your office so that there is public visibility which drives adoption and greater engagement. 


What's On The Display & Why It Matters

The display has Recognitions centre stage and Suggestions stats underneath as per screenshot below, plus a Recognition Goals progress bar. 

The recognitions in the middle auto rotate every 12s and the suggestion data updates every 60s.


Why the focus on Recognitions?
Recognition is the acknowledged gateway to getting suggestions and hence is more prominent on public displays. 
Recognition is the emotional engine.
Suggestions are the operational output.

This creates the "flywheel effect":
  • Greater Participation with Psychological Safety
    Staff feel valued seeing it on screen & appreciated by leadership
    It's safe seeing others do it - a big psychological barrier is overcome

  • More Contributions
    Seeing activity makes others want to join in
    Reciprocate when getting recognition, want to give recognition
    Engagement in this channel spills over into other channels i.e. Suggestions

  • Drives Intrinsic Motivation
    Seeing recognitions and accepted suggestions and savings made
    Effort put in is having an impact
    Increases motivation to do more

  • Engagement is a leading indicator for suggestions
    Recognition activity is often a leading metric
    Suggestion volume is a lagging metric
    When you increase Logins, Recognition participation, Cross-team visibility, Suggestion submissions usually rise 1–3 months later
Recognition Goal Display Bar - Why We Have It

To visually show how engaged staff are in the scheme and encourage more adoption. It gives us 2 indicators:
  • Performance against expected number of recognitions for the size of your workforce.
    Organisations should expect on average 1.2 recognitions sent per user per month. So if you have 50 staff you should expect 60 recognitions per month.
    The bar displays progress against that figure as a percentage. So if you have 30 Recognitions in a month then it would be 50%.
    Once you've exceeded 100% for 2 consecutive months you put the multiplier up and go again.
    Start with a Monthly Goal multiplier of between 0.8 to 1.0

  • Proportion of staff who are actively engaged.
    Over time you expect this number to rise as the scheme becomes more widely adopted.
    This is the Maturity Target Range ramp up period in months and as you exceed the Recognition Goal you put up the multiplier and the Goal needs more Recognitions to be achieved.

How It Works
This has been written to use Yodex as the display manager, but you may choose any other system that provides the same functionality. 

In the Admin Dashboard under Settings > Users, add a new admin user called Yodex and tick Report Only. This restricts this user to only see the display wall /display-wall and have no other access nor admin rights.Then set this user up in Yodex to be able to login using the credentials used to create it and to display the page /display-wall

In the Admin Dashboard under Settings > Staff Recognition, you'll be able to set a Monthly Goal Multiplier which defaults to 1.2 but you can reduce this early in the cycle and push it upwards as time progresses and engagement builds. This gives a Calculated Monthly Goal of the number of recognitions you should expect to receive in a month. Set this to 0.8 - 1.0 in the initial launch stage.

Underneath that is displayed the information-only Current  Month Participation percentage based on the number of staff actively participating from everyone set up on the system. You will want this to increase over time which proves staff are getting more engaged.

Underneath that is an information-only Maturity Target Range showing:
  • Red - Early adoption
    Low participation. Less than 50% of your team are engaging.
    Ramp up: Months 1-2, Monthly Goal Multiplier 0.8 > 1.0 > 1.2 to push into Yellow (Establishing)

  • Yellow - Establishing
    Moderate participation - some improvement needed. Between 50-69% of your team are engaging
    Ramp up: Months 3-4, Monthly Goal Multiplier 1.2 > 1.35 to push into Green (Strong)

  • Green - Strong
    Great participation! Around 70% of your team is giving recognitions
    Ramp up: Months 6 - 12, Monthly Goal Multiplier 1.35 > 1.5 > 1.8 to push into Blue (Exceptional)

  • Blue - Exceptional
    Deeply embedded participation by your team
    Ramp up: Month12+, Monthly Goal Multiplier 1.8 > 2.5 to extend further into Blue (Exceptional)
Who Gets Counted?
  • Total Enabled Users: All active employees (not disabled in User tab in Settings)
  • Participating Users: Employees who gave at least one recognition this calendar month
The Calculation

Simply: Participating Users ÷ Total Enabled Users × 100 = Percentage

For example:
- You have 10 active employees
- 7 of them gave at least one recognition in February
- Result: 7 ÷ 10 × 100 = 70%

When the Numbers Update

- Users: Live count of users (taken from the database and not cached)
- Resets monthly: On the 1st of each month, the count starts afresh
- Previous month's recognitions don't count toward this month's percentage

Suggestion Stats

- New suggestions are those raised in the current month
- Accepted suggestions are those accepted in the current month, but could have been raised at any time before the current month
