Recognize Employee Accomplishments with Awards

Every company should consider implanting a formal employee recognition program. While it’s certainly important for managers and supervisors to provide ongoing feedback to employees throughout the year – positive and negative – it’s also advisable to have a system in place that recognizes those who have really excelled with formal acknowledgement of their achievements and accomplishments.

There are many options for employee awards. When selecting the right type of employee award to give to the top performers and your company, it’s important to choose an item that is consistent with the company’s mission and brand and that will appeal to the recipient. Engraved plaques have long been a popular choice for corporate awards programs, but they are not the only options. Crystal and glass trophies have become increasingly popular items to present to team members who have made outstanding contributions to the organization – because they are attractive and classy in appearance yet are still affordable.

Be sure to choose an attractive item that the recipient will be proud to display in his or her home or office for many years to come. After all, you want the item to serve as a reminder to the recipients that their efforts are greatly appreciated. It would also be nice if they would serve as sources of inspiration to strive for higher performance among those members of your team who have the potential to truly excel – so that they may also one day come to be recognized for high levels of contribution to the company.
