Legends of the Buzz
See it. Say it. Celebrate it.
Spot something worth buzzing about? Don’t let it go unnoticed—recognize it.
Great work happens every day across Sprague—and we don’t let it go unnoticed.
If you see someone stepping up, going above and beyond, or simply doing the right thing when it counts, this is your chance to call it out. Whether it’s helping a teammate, solving a problem, or making a difference for a customer—those moments matter.
Recognition helps us reinforce what “doing it the Sprague way” really looks like—and keeps our culture strong across every branch and team.
Not sure what to submit? Think of moments like:
- Helping a teammate out in a tough situation
- Going above and beyond for a customer
- Solving a problem or improving how something gets done
- Stepping up when it mattered most
EXAMPLES:
In the Field:
I work with John Doe at the XYZ Branch, and every time we have a branch meeting, John goes out of the way to make new team members feel welcome. New hires are introduced to the team, a small gift is waiting at their seat, and there’s consistent follow-up throughout the day to make sure they feel included. It’s something done every time without being asked, and it makes a big difference in helping people feel part of the team from day one.

At the Home Office:
At the home office, we often come in to find trash or belongings left behind overnight. I’ve seen Jane Doe take ownership of cleaning everything up before the office opens. It’s not part of the role—and it’s something no one wants to do—but it gets done anyway to make sure the space is safe, clean, and ready for the team. It’s consistent, proactive, and done without being asked.
