Overview
As an employee, your coworkers may step in and assist you with an urgent customer phone call, or even stay back at work for a few hours to help you finish your current project. In these scenarios shouting out your coworkers is a good way to give the recognition for the extra work they have put it to help you in your role and in meeting your deliverables.
The shout Outs feature on the company feed allows you to do just this, post a public message to either your team or the whole organisation thanking a coworker for their help. You can also use this feature to comment on a shout post made by yourself or another employee, and if you made the comment, delete this information if needed.
