Peer-to-Peer Recognition

Peer-to-peer recognition is a type of employee recognition program in which employees can acknowledge and appreciate their peers' contributions, efforts, and achievements. It is a bottom-up approach to recognition, as opposed to a top-down approach where recognition is primarily initiated by managers or executives.
