So you have decided to implement an employee recognition programme, but now you are faced with choosing what to present to those outstanding individuals. Should you present trophies or plaques, and in what materials and size. Also what kind of text are you going to use and how often should you present the awards.
The most important aspect of choosing a recognition product is that it fulfills it's purpose; to reward someone for a job well done. From this perspective it is important the trophy or plaque is customised with the recipients name and what they are being rewarded for. All trophies and plaques can be personalised with laser engraving and title plates, so you only need to worry about wording the text appropriately. Any trophy shop will have many examples of previous wording for corporate trophies and plaques so this should not be an issue.
Now getting on to choosing the type of recognition product. People like being rewarded, but the reward must reflect the achievement. Giving an employee a packet of chocolate biscuits for 20 years service is insulting, it would be better not to have given the biscuits at all. Because of this it is important to give a corporate looking trophy rahter than a medals or sports award.
Glass, crystal and acrylic are all great options for corporate trophies. They can be laser engraved with company logos to also align the trophy with company branding and values. Corporate plaques are also a great option as the text and logos can be easily read and displayed. Acrylic can also be shaped to further customise the award, it could be in the shape of the companies product or brand. Visit Xpress Award's website to see some great corporate trophy designs.
