Recognition and Corporate Awards

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

With every company, each employee matters and makes a difference. No job is too small; every individual has a role and performs some function which aids in the smooth operation and success of a business. A company that values its employees and shows them their appreciation will have happier and more motivated workers. A great way to recognize employees and show that their work counts, is by presenting them with Corporate awards.

Employee recognition trophies and awards can serve multiple purposes. They help physically show the appreciation an employer has for a job well done. Everyone strives to be acknowledged for the work they do, especially when they do it well. Employee recognition awards are the perfect way to reward exemplary work.  Worker recognition should be prioritized by management to keep positive office morale. Seeing fellow workers receiving beautiful recognition awards will motivate others to reach that same high level of performance and quality work. Awards point out superstar employees and set an example, that if you aim high your work will not only be noticed, but be rewarded and appreciated.

There are so many ways these employee recognition awards can be utilized. Having a set time where one worker is noticed for their accomplishments on the job is a common tool used by employers to motivate their staff. Employee of the month plaques and awards can often be seen in offices as a constant reminder to work hard each day in the hopes of receiving such praise.

Performance awards are great for when a meeting a sales goal or signing on a certain number of new clients. At the end of the year performance can be evaluated and the MVP of the team can be rewarded with an award they can showcase on their desk to remember the year they were on top of their game. Any occasion decided on by the employer can be used to present their valued employees with a recognition award to improve morale, show appreciation, and give everyone a high standard to work towards.

Styles of Employee Recognition Corporate Awards

Giving your hard working employees an award for a job well done is a great idea to incorporate into the workplace, to set high standards and enforce the importance of them being met. Workers will be motivated by the opportunity to be in the running for a reward for their efforts and achievements. Once it has been decided to introduce employee recognition awards into the workplace, there are numerous options for the type of award to actually use and distribute. There is an unbelievable selection of recognition awards out there to choose from to fit any type of achievement, desired look, personal relevance or practicality.

Some offices choose to hang a plaque hung where all can see where the names of each recognized employees past and present are engraved.  Plaques such as this are proudly displayed and group highly respected employees who have made considerable workplace achievement together to be recognized.  There is a certain prestige for each employee who gets to see their own name added to this public display of appreciation and recognition.

Often offices of respected employees are lined with shelves of various awards outlining their accomplishments among peers in their industry. Individual employee recognition awards can make a statement and make that individual employee feel special and uniquely appreciated.  There are all types of employee recognition awards which can be used for this purpose, from more traditional personal plaques, to acrylic trophies and crystal awards.

Corporate Awards: Enhancing Morale And Performance

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

When a business evaluates their resources in terms of increasing the net profit, is the value of performance awards even considered? All too often, management considers only the hard resources without giving thought to the personnel running or operating those resources. In all forms of business, personnel is the driving force in expanding profit, regardless of the economy. Yet, other than a occasional slap on the back at a meeting, outstanding job performance can often be neglected.

The obvious comparison is that your executives operate the departmental machine composed of employees on different levels. For any department to be productive, the “machine” needs to operate smoothly on all levels. While establishing a formal plan for presenting corporate awards may not be met with as much enthusiasm as a bonus vs. production schedule, it will definitely reinforce the necessity and expectation of reaching performance goals.

Boost Productivity

A happy employee equals a productive employee. This truism holds whether that employee is a vice-president or a shipping clerk. Wherever your business is now, your employees are productive elements that will drive it to the next level. Creating a corporate award program is vital to the growth of the company’s net profit because it develops an environment where everyone can be proud of (and honored for) their effort. Tangible recognition with some form of corporate award, whether a plaque, trophy, medallion or pin is a proven program for maintaining staff morale and increasing productivity.

Employee Recognition

The variety of Corporate awards are such that they can be used to honor or recognize employees regardless of position. “Employee of the Month” awards are standard in corporations both large and small. This type of award is often based on employee production, and the recipient is often chosen by a vote by departmental peers. Choosing the recipient in this manner engages all the employees, and makes everyone aware of his own effort in relation to the winner.

The award for the “Employee of the Year” is most often given at the annual company banquet, picnic or other event . This coveted award is given the employee who has contributed the most to the business’ success and/or growth in that year. The award is generally a beautiful crystal award or other ornate award commensurate with the company’s financial worth. Then there are “Departmental Awards” or plaques that are given to departments or divisions that have shown the greatest improvement or have met their goals throughout the year. Giving awards to individuals within departments demonstrates that individual efforts are noticed and appreciated. Much can be done with acrylic awards for these positions.

Success

The goal of all business owners and managers regardless of their level should be to maintain corporate morale and to retain employees that are happy and productive. Using tangible awards shows them that you care; you are aware of them individually and you recognize that your company’s success is dependent upon their efforts. Corporate awards are an excellent, cost efficient way of creating and maintaining the morale and environment necessary for continued success!

Recognition Through Corporate Awards

Monday, January 31st, 2011

We’ve just left the college football season with the awarding of the Dr. Pepper Coaches’ Trophy to the Auburn Tigers for winning the BCS Football Championship. A few weeks earlier, Auburn Quarterback Cam Newton won the Heisman Trophy for being the most outstanding college football player in 2010. While you might not think of these two awards as “Corporate Awards” what better award or trophy to reference than one for outstanding team and individual achievement?

Group Corporate Awards
The corporate concept of working as a “team” for the benefit of all most likely originated in athletics. Sales divisions of large and small corporations alike are often divided into teams that compete in getting the largest sales volume or net profit. The team concept has even spread to corporate health professional’s office where team meetings or “morning huddles” are held each day to review patient records and set set the tone for quality care for the day.

Awarding groups for their achievement is usually done at the annual office dinner or corporate banquet. The leader of each team, usually selected by the team members themselves, receives the award on behalf of his team’s achievement. Depending on the budget allotment, these awards traditionally have taken the form of wooden plaques with etched brass plates. With the advent of computer and laser technology, custom acrylic awards are becoming more and more popular. Team leaders can be presented with awards uniquely shaped and colored from stars to lightening bolts to mountain tops. Crystal awards, although generally more expensive, are a more formal reminder of the achievement attained. They are usually presented in the form of cups, bowls or platters for display. These awards can be displayed by the team leader in his office, or passed around for display among the team members.

Team Member Individual Awards
Awards for outstanding effort from team members can take many forms. There are individual awards that can range from small trophies or plaques to fancier individual acrylic awards. The beauty of the acrylic awards is that they can be designed in almost any shape and be tinted as well. The color tinted acrylic awards are extremely unique as they are generally translucent and reflect light as well to give a striking appearance. An acrylic award, while not as heavy as a crystal award, is a beautiful recognition of a job well done. Of course, if budget allows, all members of a corporate team could be given a crystal award shaped to represent the nature of their achievement. This type of crystal award could be anything from a solid lead crystal paper weight to a crystal mug or glass that has been etched to commemorate the occasion.

While not everyone can win the Heisman Trophy, recognition of corporate achievement by a hard working group of employees grouped into a team is important for establishing and maintaining corporate morale. There is no truer axiom than “a happy employee is a productive employee”. I would add that corporate awards that promote employee recognition is critical to making that happen.
