But whether only the public announcement of extraordinary performance is the fair way to reward good work. I have my doubts, because I have always been of the opinion that performance must be rewarded, and unfortunately you can't buy anything from an "employee of the month" award.

And according to the motto that work has to be worthwhile and fun, that's also the way I do things at GambleJoe - the employees are treated the way I would want my fictitious boss to treat them.

You can work from home and have a salary + special payments that is above average for the industry. You can determine your working hours relatively flexibly, there are days off, public holidays, sufficient vacation days, private health Insurance and there is no unpaid overtime, if you have to work any at all (by the way, we have never had any ordered overtime).
Every week there is a meeting where everyone can voice their opinion and ideas for improving the website, workflow or team cohesion.

We are a small team, everyone supports each other where they can, and over the years you become an all-rounder who has the chance to learn and eventually be able to do everything you need to know to run and manage such a platform.

Back to the topic of "Hall of Fame for employees." Such a ranking has not only positive aspects in small teams. After all, in our small team everyone has slightly different areas of responsibility, so it's hard to compare work performance.

A Hall of Fame could perhaps also create a feeling of competition among colleagues or additional pressure to perform, which in the long term could have a negative impact on the interpersonal relationships of individuals.
Individual colleagues could feel unfairly treated.

Unfortunately, I also can't think of an argument where I would say that a Hall of Fame would make sense for employees.
Ranking: Who is the least sick - would result in people dragging themselves to work sick.
Rankings: Who posted the most on the forum - doesn't fit because not all employees are active on the forum
Ranking: Who has worked the longest - might lead to falsification of working time recording

Of course we record the working hours of each employee, this is now standard and in the EU from 2019 even required by law to protect employees from exploitation due to too much work and too little recovery time.
However, it is also true that recording working hours is only a rough measure of attendance for me as an employer.

For me, the most important thing is that the work gets done and, of course, that no one cheats on their hours. When you take a break, you log off because you never know exactly how long the break will end up being.
In addition, it would be unfair to other colleagues to take a coffee or smoking break, play cards, make a private phone call or talk to the parcel delivery person during working hours while the time recording is running.

And finally, there's the trust relationship. I think it's a basic requirement that the boss and the employee trust each other and that no one tries to gain unfair advantages in any way.

At the moment, I don't think much of a Hall of Fame for employees - but perhaps you have suggestions as to what extent this might be worthwhile from your point of view?

When was that and is the company still around today?

Since 4 years there is the EU regulation for working time recording.
Just wondering because you put your age in your profile as 27. 😁

Oh and was at that time also home office with you?

in your overview there is a user*in who has her birthday today.
since her name is not listed on the main page at the bottom, she should logically have her button whether she wants to be mentioned in the forum on --> no <--.

so she should not be mentioned on the hall of page either.
