Give someone public credit for their help

Mention a person's contribution in front of others.

Why it helps

Credit costs nothing and can mean a great deal, especially to people whose work often goes unseen. It builds loyalty and goodwill.

How to do it

1. Think of someone who contributed to something you did.
2. Name them and what they did when you speak or write about it.
3. Thank them in person as well.

Make it easier

Mention them in a team message.

Make it harder

Send a note to their manager or family about their work.
