HoneyBook’s Quarterly Award Winners
This week, we held one of our favorite rituals — our quarterly employee awards! We call them the HoneyAwards and they are a time to reflect back on the previous quarter and recognize each other for outstanding contributions. There are so many good things happening in the company and we like to create this space to acknowledge them.
We have two award categories: the Impact Award and the Core Value Award.
Impact Award: Nominated by Leadership
Our Leadership team chooses the winners with a focus on team effort/new initiative/project or outstanding performance of an individual. Leadership has the most visibility across the organization and has the best insight into what really made an impact this quarter.
Core Value Award: Nominated by all employees
This award is chosen by all employees via a Google form. We want to give employees the opportunity to recognize their peers and the contributions they are making. We ask people to nominate someone who has done an exceptional job of upholding our core values and to provide specific examples.
Our core values are:
People come first
We go the extra mile
We love what we do
We are fearless
We are family
The winners are announced in our weekly company meeting and besides the recognition from Leadership and peers, the winners are awarded with equity. My favorite part? All core values nominations are shared with those nominated, as well as their manager, whether you’ve won or not. It’s a fantastic form of recognition.
Take a look at our Impact and Core Value Award winners this quarter. Thank you to each of you for being strong contributors to our business and culture!
The members of the QA team are the unspoken heroes of our ProDev (Product & Development) Team. They are the gatekeepers of every single feature, giving everyone on the team the peace of mind that things aren’t going to fall apart. The amazing thing, is that there are only 3 of them! Out of a team of 40+ people — this is an incredible ratio. Thank you for allowing us to run fast and not break too many things, your impact is huge.

Alon is amazing. This quarter he had the task of helping another team with a very specific area as part of a big initiative. He did it, and he did much more –he treated this project as if it were his own and took ownership of tasks and areas which were beyond his scope. He went many extra miles more than he was expected to, and it made a huge difference in the project’s release.
