## What is a Salp?

A Salp is a little package of encouragement from you or your colleagues, designed to strengthen the culture and help everyone focus on what matters most. Each Salp re-enforces an element of your organisation's culture such as your Purpose, a Value or your Shared Ambition.

There are 2 types of Salps. You send a Recognition Salp when you see a colleague living by your Culture Code. You [Share a Story Salp](docId\:LqLZPx_Lqt0P3A2D9JELL) when you've personally had an experience of living by your Culture Code at work, or when dealing with a customer.
