A lot of good things happen at work every day. A colleague helps out, gives advice, saves a deadline, or simply improves your mood. Yet in the middle of a busy workday, we often forget to say the simplest thing: thank you. And that small recognition can have an enormous impact.
Do you also appreciate sincere praise? It often remains unspoken because work moves so fast. Does this sound familiar? You arrive at work and before your first coffee, the rush of tasks has already begun. Even on those hectic days, someone still helps you selflessly. With a presentation, with preparing materials before a deadline, or by sharing an important piece of information at exactly the right moment.
Everything happens so quickly that you only remember it later in the evening when reflecting on the day. And by then, it often feels too late.
What prevents us from giving praise?
How many times have you wanted to compliment or appreciate someone but did not have the time, forgot, or simply did not know how to do it quickly and naturally? It happens to everyone. In a fast-moving work environment, we juggle tasks, emails, and meetings nonstop.
You may notice that even when you know a colleague did a great job, you leave it for “next time.” The lack of praise is often a result of information overload, multitasking, and constant pressure. And that is a shame. Praise is one of the simplest tools that can brighten someone’s day, strengthen workplace relationships, boost confidence and motivation, and improve the overall atmosphere at work.
Seize every opportunity to give praise. Here’s how.
Giving praise sometimes requires a little courage and the ability to pause for a moment. The next time you feel someone deserves recognition or a bit of positive energy, do it. Another email can wait. That special moment of appreciation should not.

The feature can be found in the “Time with Colleagues” section, where you can quickly select the colleague or team you want to appreciate. And you can even do it publicly.
And the best part? Everything happens in just a few seconds directly on your mobile phone. No more postponing praise for “when there’s time” or “when I remember.” Every smile and every compliment is now within easy reach.
Praise is a simple way to make the day better for yourself and for others. It helps build stronger relationships, increases motivation, and makes work a more enjoyable place to be. The Praise feature in the Můj Up app makes appreciation effortless. Just a few taps and the positive energy keeps spreading.
The feature is ideal for everyone who works in a team, wants a pleasant atmosphere around them, and knows that good work deserves recognition. Even small words can bring great joy. So use Praise more often, more openly, and without delay.
