Microsoft: “Praise in Microsoft Teams is designed to appreciate the effort that goes into the wide-ranging, collaborative work that Teams users do. Users can send praise to their colleagues through the messaging extension pinned to the Teams messaging bar or through the Microsoft Viva Insights app in Teams”.

TL;DR:
Praise Recommendations is an enhancement coming to the Praise page in the Viva Insights app in Teams for all users with Exchange online mailboxes. Recommendations provide pre-populated suggestions to send praise based on signals such as collaboration activity. Now due late Auguste to mid-September 2022.

Details:
Praise Recommendations – located on the Praise page in Microsoft Viva Insights app in Teams, will leverage the following signals to create recommendations:

  • Top collaborators (based on meeting, email, Teams chat and call collaboration)
  • 1:1 meeting time and manager chain (based on meeting and AAD data)
  • Team members that you haven’t sent praise to in a while (AAD data)

These signals inform praise recommendations showcased to you each week:


When you click Start praise, the praise compose will prepopulate the praise receiver, badge and a praise message, when relevant. You can make edits as needed before sending praise out.

Availability:
Due early to late August 2022.
Now due late Auguste to mid-September 2022.
