Compliment a Coworker

Set a day in your calendar each week or month to send a compliment to your coworkers by email, voicemail, direct message or in person. Think about the positive things your coworkers have done and make sure the compliment is genuine and specific. Examples of appropriate compliments to send:

“You did a great job on X project.”
“You showed such positivity during X (e.g. meeting, email).”
“You are inspiring.”

Receiving recognition for the work we do or just how we’ve helped others can lift our spirits and reduce our stress levels. When we give compliments, we also experience a boost to our own well-being, which can have a positive effect on our mental health.
