Recognition & positive context

Docu-Coach™ treats Positive feedback as a first-class record alongside incidents and progress updates. Capturing specific moments of strong execution, teamwork, or guest/customer recovery builds a balanced management history so 1:1s and reviews are grounded in real examples—not just recent mistakes.

  • An employee handled a difficult customer or rush smoothly.
  • A team member stepped up to train a peer or cover a critical station.
  • You want to make sure your next 1:1 or performance review includes concrete praise with dates and details.
  • Capture: The green Positive feedback button on the Record screen (iPhone and mobile web).
  • Dashboard KPI & monthly list: The Positive Feedback KPI card and Employees with positive feedback list on Dashboard (/admin/dashboard).
  • Employee timeline: Highlighted as Positive feedback on the Employee Command Center (/admin/employees/[id]) and in the Positive context section of HR Ready and Prep Me.
  1. Tap the green Positive feedback button on the Record screen (or long-press to type).
  2. State who the recognition is for, what they did well, and the impact it had on the shift, team, or customer.
  3. Tap Stop, select the employee from your roster, and save.
  4. Before your next check-in with that employee, open Prep Me (and choose Recognition check-in or 1:1) or open their Employee Command Center to review their positive notes.

  • The record is stored with record_kind = positive_feedback (is_positive_feedback = true) and polished into a clear recognition note.
  • On the Management Dashboard, the Positive Feedback counter increments for the month.
  • In HR Center (/admin/command-center), your team’s positive-to-coaching ratio is factored into team health summaries.
  • In HR Ready (/admin/employees/[id]/hr-ready), all positive feedback records for that employee are compiled under Positive context so HR and leadership see the complete record.
