Profile:
In teammates profiles, you can navigate to the Postcards tab to contribute to your profile. You can select from 6 templates (Anniversary, Endorse, Thank you, and Birthday) and send them a postcard which will be visible to other colleagues and serves as a place to recognize their hard work or special event for that teammate.
When sending a postcard, the audience is already locked in, all that's needed is to is craft a message and send! Sharing a postcard with a colleague boosts team camaraderie, but also increases the shelf life of the comment by living on a profile vs in chat or email.
