Our new Thank You app is a quick and easy way to make your colleague's day!

Share your appreciation and recognise positive work with a thank you message

delivered straight to your colleague's inbox. 

How to send a thank you

Watch this interactive demonstration to find out how to send a thank you and what to expect when you receive one.

What to look out for cyferd logo

If somebody sends you a thank you, both you and your manager will get an email notification from 'Cyferd Platform'. We have partnered with staff from the Royal Papworth Hospital to bring you this app, that is why it looks a little different to our usual communications. When you send and receive thank yous you will be taken to the Cyferd portal. The images below show you what to look out for.
