SayPro Plan for Featuring Successful Contributors in the Monthly SCLMR Bulletin

1. Define Criteria for Success

• Timeline: May 2025
• Action: Clearly define what constitutes a “successful contributor” within the context of SayPro’s work. The criteria should be broad enough to acknowledge various types of contributions but specific enough to ensure that the recognition is meaningful. Some potential criteria could include:
  • High-Quality Content: Contributors who produce or revise training modules that are well-received by participants.
  • Impactful Engagement: Individuals who have contributed significantly to discussions, peer reviews, or collaborative efforts.
  • Innovative Ideas: Contributors who have introduced innovative methodologies, tools, or approaches to training and learning.
  • Consistent Participation: Those who regularly engage in content creation, review processes, or training delivery.
  • Peer Recognition: Contributors who have received positive feedback or have been nominated by their peers for their contributions.
  Deliverables:
  • Documented criteria for selecting successful contributors
  • Rubric or scoring system for evaluating contributions

2. Set Up a Nomination and Selection Process

• Timeline: June 2025
• Action: Establish a transparent process for nominating and selecting successful contributors. This should include:
  • Nomination Form: Develop a simple form where employees can nominate themselves or others based on the established criteria.
  • Review Panel: Form a committee to review the nominations and select the featured contributors. This panel could include managers, peers, and instructional design team members.
  • Frequency of Nomination: Set a monthly deadline for nominations, ensuring that each month features a new set of contributors.
  Deliverables:
  • Nomination form and guidelines
  • Panel or team responsible for the selection
  • A defined nomination and review timeline

3. Develop a Contributor Feature Template

• Timeline: June 2025
• Action: Create a standardized format or template for featuring contributors in the SCLMR Bulletin. This ensures that the recognition is consistent and professional. The template might include:
  • Name and Role: A brief introduction to the contributor’s role at SayPro.
  • Contribution Overview: A summary of their key contributions (e.g., modules created, reviews given, innovations introduced).
  • Impact Statement: A description of how their contributions have made a positive impact on SayPro’s work or on the learners.
  • Quote or Testimonial: An inspiring quote from the contributor about their experience, or feedback from a peer or supervisor.
  • Fun Fact or Personal Insight: A light-hearted or personal touch that helps humanize the contributor and make the feature engaging.
  Deliverables:
  • Template for contributor features
  • Example feature to serve as a model

4. Plan the Monthly Bulletin Layout and Design

• Timeline: June 2025
• Action: Ensure that the monthly SCLMR Bulletin is visually engaging and that the contributor feature is prominently displayed. Consider:
  • Highlight Section: Designate a section in the bulletin for featured contributors to ensure consistency in its placement each month.
  • Visual Design: Include photos of contributors (with consent), use attractive formatting, and ensure the feature stands out within the bulletin.
  • Link to Full Profile: If applicable, link to a detailed profile or additional resources about the contributor (e.g., a portfolio of their work or a longer interview).
  Deliverables:
  • Visual mockup of the contributor feature in the bulletin
  • Approved design and layout for the monthly bulletin

5. Promote the Feature Across Channels

• Timeline: Ongoing (Starting July 2025)
• Action: Maximize the visibility of featured contributors by promoting the SCLMR Bulletin on multiple channels. This ensures that the recognition reaches a wide audience. Some strategies include:
  • Internal Email: Send out the SCLMR Bulletin to all staff with a special focus on the contributor feature.
  • SayPro Website: Create a dedicated page for showcasing outstanding contributors, which could be updated monthly.
  • Social Media (Internal or External): If appropriate, share the contributor recognition on internal social media platforms (like Slack, Microsoft Teams) or external platforms (if it aligns with your public-facing communication).
  Deliverables:
  • Email announcement for the SCLMR Bulletin
  • Dedicated webpage for featuring contributors
  • Social media posts to highlight contributors

6. Collect Feedback and Refine the Process

• Timeline: Ongoing (Starting September 2025)
• Action: After featuring successful contributors for several months, collect feedback from both contributors and staff on how the feature can be improved. This could include:
  • Feedback from Featured Contributors: How they felt about being recognized and any improvements they would suggest.
  • Staff Feedback: General feedback on the impact of the feature and its role in motivating others.
  • Improvements: Use this feedback to refine the selection process, feature format, and promotion methods.
  Deliverables:
  • Feedback survey for featured contributors and staff
  • Quarterly review of the feature process to make improvements

7. Ensure Inclusivity and Diversity in Recognition

• Timeline: Ongoing
• Action: Ensure that the process of selecting contributors for feature honors is inclusive and diverse. This means recognizing a wide variety of contributors across different roles, projects, and backgrounds.
  • Equal Opportunity: Make sure all contributors have an equal chance to be featured, regardless of their department, tenure, or seniority.
  • Diverse Representation: Highlight contributors from different teams, roles, and backgrounds to ensure representation and inclusivity.
  Deliverables:
  • Internal guidelines for inclusive and diverse recognition
  • Tracking system to ensure diversity in featured contributors
