They say that good things come around. Still it can surprise you how true that actually is. Positive feedback goes a long way – this time all the way to Iceland.
During the Splash Awards gala, one of the winners praised a virtual hugging system found in the internet. They were so fascinated by the idea of giving compliments to your colleagues that they wanted to add that feature to the intranet of the City of Reykjavik. The whole idea reminded us about our own hug system–and it turned out the project had in fact been inspired by it!
We were thrilled about this because we’re very proud about the hug system we’ve created, and the positive energy it brings to the workplace. As a thank you, and to celebrate hugs spreading all over the world, we made a video message to the City of Reykjavik. For this, we took some inspiration from the viking clapping the Icelandic soccer fans popularised during the UEFA Euro 2016.
About Wunderhugs
Wunderhugs is a unique system for giving positive feedback to colleagues. Everyone at Wunder has five virtual hugs per week to give to any colleague. The reason for hugging can be anything. Usually people hug each other when someone helps you out, is extra nice to you, makes you proud or simply needs a hug.
Each hug comes with a small monetary bonus, but based on our experience, the most powerful thing are the short positive messages people write to each other with the hug. Positive feedback certainly helps to build happy and productive teams!
