💜 Community Love Language | Badge of the Month | February 2026

Acts of service - I LOVE it when I’m not understanding something and someone takes time to build a mockup and include screenshots.

Love this concept! My community love language is definitely Words of Affirmation. I truly believe encouragement goes a long way, and I make a point of recognizing my colleagues’ contributions, whether it’s celebrating a win, thanking someone for sharing a helpful solution, or simply letting them know their input made a difference. A few kind words can really boost confidence and motivation, and I love being someone who spreads that positive energy in my organisation 💛

My word is "empathy." It was also the keyword of the year for Qualtrics, but within this community, I am experiencing empathy by talking about the same topic, different experiences and looking at photos with many users around the world every month through badge rewards.

With many users who have the same concerns as me, I am gaining experience every day by confirming my will to grow further without feeling lonely. 
Thank you.

Acts of service.
I feel grateful if I am able to solve any problem being faced by fellow community members!

Words of Affirmation it is! I think it is especially important for people who work in the shadows, as they don’t receive kudos directly from the clients using the platform. As a solution architect, when I receive a great comment from a satisfied customer, I make sure to share the kind words with all the tech team members who have worked hard. I’m planning to do the same in this awesome community!

Completely agree, this definitely makes it easier to understand!

Hands-On Learning: I really like studying and learning but when I start practicing and doing things on platform is when I really learn and make things to be part of my knowledge.

It is tough to pick just one. ‘Words of Affirmation’ resonates very well in my role and I love to see people grow and develop. Being new to QualtricsXM and engaging in training with many of our team this month, I will have a lot of opportunities to use this gift.  

I agree, being a very visual person myself - screenshots work so well for me.

I am a huge fan of acts of service. My thoughts are that, if I take the time to help someone, I am showing that I truly care. Words of affirmation are great, but cost little to nothing. That’s not to mean that words don’t have a place, but I feel like the greatest impact comes from taking the time and effort to help someone. I think every one of these categories has its place, but the biggest impact comes from those who step up and get their hands dirty. 

Acts of Service!  I appreciate receiving and because of that I tend to lean towards that approach for others.  Much of the work I do is not a comfort zone area for many of my colleagues.  I have found that logging in as the user, spending the time to build a project with them and explain the process and then by the time we are done, the final project already lives with the user, it is a comfort that they have a full project as a takeaway.

Quality Time

I appreciate my 1:1’s more than anything!

“I think it is especially important for people who work in the shadows, as they don’t receive kudos...” THIS. RIGHT. HERE 👏 Completely agree and I think it can apply to many occupations that keep it moving along!

All of these love‑language styles resonate with me, but Hands‑On Learning is definitely my top one.

I love spotting an interesting problem and jumping right in; when I have the time to do so😄.
The feeling of going from “That could be handy if done right” to “Oh wow, it works and it opens a whole new door” is hard to beat.

💬...🛠️...⏰...🎁...🤝
Awww... Why do we have to chose one ???

I love all of that and try to be proactive in each of these categories.

In the between of end users, project leaders and technical team, I love to share my technical knowledge and deep understanding so everyone is on the same page and things are getting done efficiently.
And because I’m often the man in the miin the middle of each interaction, I attach great  importance to recognize every actor imvolvment in the end result of each project.

Hands-on learning for me mainly.

1) Getting to know how other users use Qualtrics features/Javascript and trying it out by myself (if time allows🫣)

2) Viewing other users' questions and trying to resolve it as if it is an issue that I am facing to widen my existing knowledge.

Well, after "resolving" it on my end, I add replies to their question post, hoping to help them resolve their issue.

I can also learn more about the details of how they hope to use Qualtrics or design their questions/flow for their scenarios through the replies.

The points that are earned later is add-on bonus for redeeming merchandise and the levels achieved gives me a sense of accomplishment.

Words of affirmation - Coming from a place of sincerity can be powerful.  Often though being kind to yourself is important to remember too, especially in the hustle of the day to day.

Visible/Tangible reminders of accomplishment are nice as well - it shows how far you’ve come.

I needed some time to mull this one over. First of all as someone who loves languages I think this is a great theme. At the end of the day it’s through language that we communicate, get ideas across and inform each other. It’s one of the great enablers of civilization.

That said, some of the above love languages resonate more than others. Some I feel I need to improve and learn how to do better. While others I seem to gravitate towards intrinsically. My top two are:

Quality Time ⏰ I consider myself a people person. Although the company I work for allows us ample opportunity to work remotely, I make it a point to go to the office at least twice a week to see my colleagues, have lunch with them and get caught up on the latest over a coffee. Same for client visits, I can do these via video confernce but find actually going there, meeting folks in person and spending time with them is much more rewarding and better for our relationship.

Receiving Gifts 🎁I definitely am a badge fan and am proud of the ones I’ve gained.  Because my company does not use Qualtrics and I’m not an administrator most of the posts, questions and topics are far too technical for me to answer or contribute to. So the Monthly Badges along with a side eye on the leaderboard are an important motivator to keep coming back to this Community.

I agree with everyone saying it is hard to pick just one of these! My top two are definitely hands-on learning and acts of service, but if I had to chose just one, I’d say hands-on learning. This is purely because I believe that after a certain point (especially for complex software) the best way to truly learn is through getting your hands dirty and trying and maybe even failing. Each attempt at getting something done is getting you one step closer to where you want to be.

So by that logic, having a code snippet or workflow that you want to implement but attempting to implement yourself will help you both understand Qualtrics and your solution even more! 🤗

Act of Service! I provide step-by-step instructions, test solutions, and also see such guidance in XM Community very helpful :)

My style is definitely Hands-On Learning. I love to learn by experimenting and building practical solutions, whether that means testing out new ideas, solving real use cases, or developing tools my coworkers can use right away. I enjoy diving in, figuring things out through action, and sharing what I create so others can benefit too.

Act of Service - To help the peers with any solution or provide them guidance to achieve the goal.

Hands-On Learning 🤝

I love being able to find my own answers; to learn by experimenting and doing. AI, of course, has helped a lot with this. 😎

I have to say that in “Real Life” my love language is acts of service (especially cooking, because feeding the people I love is the way I show my love for them).  That’s why I’m surprised it’s not also my community love language.  And it’s not for lack of wanting to provide acts of service, but more of a time and experience constraint.  I don’t work with Qualtrics on a daily basis like I did in my previous role and I don’t understand the ins-and-outs of the product enough to answer complex questions that come up on the community pages...but I used to (so hopefully that still counts)!

Words of Affirmation 💬 really resonate with me. Thanking to all community members for a great insight while helping solve someone’s challenge—it turns into a shared learning moment for everyone.
