Go to [Insert Abbott Excellence Awards navigation details]. To start, chose to Recognize Someone or Redeem an Award you’ve received.

4. Recognizing someone
To recognize someone, begin by selecting his or her name from the pre-populated list or use “search for colleague” You can choose to recognize multiple individuals at a time, e.g., for a team achievement. If team members have differing award amounts, they must be recognized separately.

5. Award reasons
Choose the award reason that best matches the actions/behaviors demonstrarted The optional Award Advisor can help determine the appropriate award level to recognize the employee’s contribution. To use this feature, respond to the questionnaire and follow the prompts. At the end, you will have the opportunity to select the recommended award level, or choose a different award level.

6. Choosing an Award level
On the “Choose Award” page, you will be prompted to select an award level and provide details why the recipient is being recognized. Based on the award level, your award nomination may be routed for manager (or higher-level) approval.
To ensure global equity, award amounts are automatically adjusted to enable recipients to purchase approximately the same goods/services with the award in their local country, regardless of where they live.
