Tips for a Writing a Go Beyond Card
/ Be timely and specific with your message, aiming for at least 3 or 4 sentences.
/ As in all public communications, remember that the privacy of our students is a legal responsibility, so
please don’t “name names” relating to confidential situations.
/ Consider whether the card recipient enjoys public or private recognition.
/ If you choose to send a private E-Card, only that employee will be able to view your message.
/ A public E-Card will appear on the WVU Recognition Wall for anyone to see, and a copy will be sent to their supervisor.
/ Tie your recognition to our WVU Values.
/ If you see someone providing outstanding service to one of our visitors – share that you see the work they are putting
in!
/ If you have a new team member who is asking great questions and demonstrating curiosity – share that you respect
their initiative in helping the team move forward!
/
If you work with someone who you can always count on – share your appreciation for their consistent accountability!
/ Set a weekly reminder for yourself to think about if someone has gone above and beyond (and then share
your appreciation for that person!)
