Employee Recognition Wall Touchscreen Website
Build an employee recognition wall as a fullscreen touchscreen website: anniversaries, awards, team spotlights, and stories—plus QR handoff and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility.
Intent: inspire — a fun, professional employee recognition wall that people actually use
The goal isn’t “a screen that scrolls.” The goal is a touchscreen website displayed in fullscreen that makes recognition feel personal, discoverable, and on-brand—without overwhelming the space.
Experience Goal
- Increase participation (nominations and peer shout-outs)
- Make recognition discoverable (search + filters)
- Support quick interactions (30–60 seconds) and deep dives (profiles)

Content Blocks & Motion
- Spotlight reel: Short “hero cards” (employee + 1 sentence + badge).
- Recognition cards: Color-coded by award type; consistent typography.
- Profile drawer: Slides in; avoids full page reload feel.
- Celebration micro-motion: Subtle confetti bursts on certain milestones (optional).
Accessibility & UX Checklist (WCAG 2.1 AA)
- Maintain AA contrast even over photo backgrounds (use scrims).
- Provide a motion-safe mode (reduce motion preference).
- Ensure names and departments scale cleanly (large type option).
- Touch targets ≥ 44px; avoid dense grids.
- QR handoff to mobile for sharing and long-form stories.
Brand Integration Checklist
- Unlimited layouts (lobby wall vs. break room kiosk)
- Custom backgrounds + brand color tokens per award type
- Video loops in idle mode (subtle, no audio by default)
- Social gallery (optional) and sponsor zones (optional)
Activation Plan
- Launch: Anniversaries + awards + “Kudos” feed
- Month 1: Add team wins + onboarding welcomes
- Quarterly: Refresh award taxonomy + spotlight rules

Common questions
Quick answers to help you scope a touchscreen website that runs in fullscreen mode.
What is an employee recognition wall display?
An employee recognition wall display is a digital, often touchscreen-first experience that highlights people—milestones, awards, and stories—in a lobby or common area.
How do we keep the recognition wall from feeling like digital signage?
Use tappable cards, filters, and profile pages so visitors can explore—plus an idle ‘spotlight’ mode that rotates highlights when no one is interacting.
What content performs best?
Milestones (anniversaries), peer-nominated awards, team wins, and short story modules with photos—backed by a searchable directory of recognitions.
