iDoneThis – Daily Progress Updates

ss-iDoneThis
Have you ever gotten to the end of the workweek and wondered what you and your colleagues actually accomplished? When you’re working long hours, and you’re still miles away from the finish line, it can be difficult to remember all the milestones you’ve achieved along the way. iDoneThis is trying to change that, with daily email digests that recognize and celebrate everyday workplace accomplishments.

If you’re looking to raise morale among your employees, iDoneThis is worth checking out. Each evening, iDoneThis sends an email reminder to every person on your staff asking what they did that day. You and your employees are encouraged to respond back with a brief overview of that day’s accomplishments. The next morning, iDoneThis will send an office-wide email digest that lists everyone’s accomplishments from the previous days. Show your gratitude and appreciation for hard working employees with a single click. You can also start conversations from your email digest, or log-in to the iDoneThis website to see an overview of a week, month, or year’s worth of professional accomplishments.

The email digests that iDoneThis sends out each morning are a great way to kick-start the day, and they can help facilitate a culture of openness and gratitude in any office. Because iDoneThis works completely through email, your employees don’t have to use any new apps or tools to take advantage of the service.
