# A simple guide to everyday recognition

A Wispout guide

1. Notice one contribution that made work easier for someone.
2. Name the moment: what happened, and where?
3. Be specific about the help, idea or care you appreciated.
4. Share it in a way that feels comfortable for the recipient.
5. Leave room for a reply. Recognition can open a conversation.

Try this prompt: “When you [specific contribution], it helped us [context]. Thank you.”

Keep it honest. Recognise quieter contributions too. Never turn appreciation into a quota or a competition.
