How to adapt it

Insert the exact published criteria and eligible roster. Use one nomination per participant only if a verified sign-in and privacy process exists; this public demo should not claim to enforce it. If a manager is nominated, route potential conflicts to the reviewing committee.

When to ask

Open during a fixed nomination window after criteria are published; close before committee review.

How to interpret responses

Read examples against criteria before counting nominations. Check whether teams, shifts or remote staff had equal opportunity to be seen. Document the decision process privately, and do not publish runner-up counts or comments.

Research context

Bradler and colleagues found an effect of unexpected public recognition in a controlled short data-entry field experiment with more than 300 workers. That is not evidence that a monthly peer vote improves performance or that a popularity contest is fair. The Bradler et al., Maastricht University HTML page provides the scholarly abstract. This original template is not a scientifically validated instrument.
