| Question | First | Second | Third | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Does it name a specific thing they did? | ||||
| Is that thing something we want done again? | ||||
| Did it come within a week of the work? | ||||
| Would the rest of the team say it was earned? | ||||
| Does it reward the result, or the hours? | ||||
| Has quiet, steady work been thanked as often this quarter? | ||||
| Has anybody been thanked for raising a problem early? | ||||
| Did it come from somebody whose opinion the person values? |
