myHero is an electronic employee recognition tool to help employees recognize their colleagues from across campus who are exemplifying our behavior expectations in big and small ways. It allows staff to recognize their peers for being great coworkers, going above and beyond, and recognizing a job well done. They also show up in the Performance Appraisal tool in myHR! myHero is located in the myHR portal.
Research shows that peer recognition can set a positive attitude for company culture, and remind entire departments in the company of what their goals are, and what the team is working towards. Most importantly, peer recognition in high-performing teams can strengthen the bonds between colleagues.
A note sent in myHero, called a rave, will also be shared in employee communications to highlight great work being done across our organization while reflecting our behavior standards and values.
How to submit a myHero rave:
To send a rave to an employee for a job well done, visit myHR, click on the myHero icon, and send a rave note. The rave is then sent to the employee, their supervisor, and your supervisor. It’s a great way to recognize coworkers for various behaviors and show how much you appreciate the work they do for our organization.
Submit or receive a rave and you may see it in various employee communication publications across the organization as we recognize jobs well done by our staff across ANTHC.
Align your recognition with ANTHC behaviors but do not just focus on the business goals, focus on recognizing your peers for their work and countless contributions, both big and small!

- Teamwork:
- Cheryl deserves to be recognized because of her leadership skills as well as her willingness to always jump in and help her colleagues. She does this with drive, compassion and the want for her team to succeed. Myself, along with a number of RT’s are always happy to be on shift with her as she also always tries to support the Respiratory Therapy team in any way that she can. Particularly by helping us restock intubation supplies, bringing needed supplies and equipment during codes/emergencies when we are short staffed and even just checking in on the RT’s on how we’re doing throughout our shift. It means so much to us, I can keep going on about how much we truly appreciate her. Thank you Cheryl, for all that you do! It does not go unnoticed. Submitted by a colleague to Cheryl in the Intensive Care Unit Critical Care Unit.
