It is quite a common practice for large organizations to implement some kinds of "staff recognition scheme". The scheme is like this: a staff member could nominate another colleague who is good, kind enough etc for praise. Any reason suffices.
Superficially, the scheme is of good intention. Everybody is busy. Nobody would suddenly be grateful to others. The scheme seems to provide a channel, or act as a remainder, for us to say thank you to deserved ones.
However, it doesn't work. Human beings are both lazy and selfish. Even they have spare time in office, it would be exhausted by chatting and web-surfing. Completing a recognition form for others benefit is anti-Darwinism.
Plus it leads to rigging or bribe, depending on the approach is top-down or vice versa. If management would like to glorify somebody's profile, that somebody is prone to get exposure in this kind of situation. On the other hand, if the colleague yearns for something, and the scheme could help out, spectators' forms would be bought in.
So, please say thank you in the act when you want to.
