Another way to generate engagement at Tap My Back is by having some people remind their colleagues to give taps or feedback when relevant. They will recommend how the app should be used and in which context. 

Leadership is crucial here, they are the first to instigate these practices, so it's vital that they can lead others to keep the good work. These people are important to make sure everyone is on the same page regarding the use of the app.
