Turn a quick thank-you into visible recognition across your team

A hand offered at the right moment can get a colleague past a difficult point, yet that contribution often goes no further than a private thank-you message. This video shows how to make recognition more visible inside your organisation.

From a private thank-you to shared recognition

The walkthrough covers choosing the person you want to thank, writing down what they helped with, and linking the recognition to one of your company's core values. Once sent, the message appears on a shared recognition feed so positive contributions get seen.

Specific recognition means more

Instead of simply writing “thanks for the help”, say exactly what your colleague did and how it made a difference. For example: they helped review the data ahead of the handover deadline, which let the team catch what was missing and finish the deliverable properly.

Keeping it genuine in practice

Encourage recognition that names the right work, the right person and the right moment. Real examples are a good way to explain what your core values look like in practice, and they stop thank-yous turning into a numbers race. Contributions that are hard to capture in a KPI still deserve to be heard and acknowledged.

The feed is one way to support a culture of recognition. A positive experience still depends on how your team talks, helps and gives feedback to each other every day.
