What Are Recognition Awards?

Employee recognition awards are honors given to employees as a way to acknowledge their contributions and achievements within an organization. These awards serve as a formal way to celebrate hard work, dedication, and positive impact on the company. At companies that implement this type of recognition, leadership commonly awards employees with trophies, plaques, and certificates. Typical awards include:

  • Employee of the month
  • Years of service
  • Performance-based awards

They can be implemented for all types of organizations, including nonprofits. After all, their staff members deserve recognition for the work they do just as much as business employees do.

Think about your staff like a soccer team. Some players focus on scoring points while other players defend their team’s goal. Both positions have very different roles, but should each be rewarded for the unique value they bring to the team. In the same way, employee recognition awards can come in many different forms, and every role deserves to be recognized. 

How To Create the Right Employee Awards

As you notice ways that your organization benefits from an employee’s work, acknowledge their unique contributions. For instance, you might highlight these attributes in recognition awards:

  • Impact: How does their work or specific achievement bring value to the organization?
  • Efficiency: How does their work ethic efficiently further the company’s goals?
  • Timeliness: How do their timely results help the organization move forward with its overall mission?
Create recognition awards based on attributes like impact, efficiency, and timeliness.

It’s important to be specific with recognition awards so that employees feel genuinely appreciated for their unique efforts. Also, give awards frequently so that employees feel it’s part of the workplace culture.

Why Are Employee Awards Important for Company Culture?

Recognition gives employees the encouragement they need to know their work is noticed and appreciated. Giving employees this sense of importance through an award can greatly impact how they view their work.

Employees aren’t the only ones who benefit from workplace recognition. When employees feel genuinely acknowledged and valued, the organization as a whole, from company leaders to customers, can benefit. Some examples of these benefits include:

Employee awards are a meaningful way to thank standout workers and can lead to several benefits.
26 Outstanding Recognition Awards to Elevate Company Culture 16
  • Confidence: Awards carry a feeling of success or victory. Recognition awards can give employees confidence in their work because they frame employees’ work as an achievement. This newfound confidence can also encourage them to grow in their roles, take on more responsibilities, and be engaged in work.
  • Productivity: Since awards signify significance and success, employees will feel important to their company. One employee recognition study found that 85% of surveyed HR professionals say employee recognition programs positively affect organizational culture. These programs enforce the idea that their work requires great attention and efficiency. Therefore, awards can encourage employees to keep up their work or even take on bigger tasks, making them more productive.
  • Positive reputation: When customers or clients see how your company treats its employees, you’ll gain a positive reputation in the community. Plus, an employee’s positive attitude about their job will translate into helpful customer service and efficient work, which will draw a bigger crowd.
  • Employee retention: Employees who feel important to the company and recognized for their work will likely want to stay. In fact,  over 91% of HR professionals believe recognition makes employees more likely to stick around, according to that same Apollo Technical resource we referenced earlier. By rewarding employees and viewing their work as significant accomplishments, an organization can effectively engage and retain its employees.

Recognition awards are like the first-place prize in a competition. Only one person can receive that prize, and it has to be earned. Whether you give a tangible gift or recognize employees with an eCard, employees won’t forget your intentional efforts to celebrate them.

26 Employee Award Ideas

Although you may understand the importance of recognition awards, it can be tricky to implement them as a regular part of your recognition efforts. Over-awarding can cause awards to lose their exclusivity. However, you should also avoid under-awarding, which risks making your employees feel undervalued.

These employee award ideas can be adapted and customized to fit your organization’s unique culture and values. Remember, the key to successful recognition is to make it meaningful, relevant, and aligned with your company’s goals and values.

Employee of the Month/Quarter/Year

Employee of the Month is a classic employee award idea.
26 Outstanding Recognition Awards to Elevate Company Culture 17

Create an employee of the month program to highlight an employee each month. This enables you to recognize outstanding employees who consistently go above and beyond in their roles.

Use the program to appreciate each employee for their unique contributions rather than hold everyone to the same standard. Make sure to include specific qualifications and boundaries for the program to ensure fairness and appreciation for everyone.

For example, you might implement a rule where the same employee is not allowed to be awarded twice within a certain time period. This provides more employees the opportunity to earn the award. You can also establish a standard for receiving the award, such as meeting a work-related goal or receiving a customer recommendation.

Going The Extra Mile

When an employee does more than their job requires, reward their extra efforts to show your gratitude for their exceptional work. Look for employees who:

  • Exceed expectations
  • Exhibit company values
  • Work diligently to further the company’s goals

Every role in the company has opportunities to go above and beyond. To truly make your employees feel recognized, call out their specific contributions and how they went beyond their basic job requirements.

Team Player Award

Working with others isn’t always easy, but effective teamwork can achieve great results. When your employees work especially well together, be sure to reward them and thank the team for all their contributions.

Acknowledge individuals who excel at collaboration and teamwork, contributing to a positive work environment and supportive team dynamic. You might even reward whole teams who accomplish significant projects or work together to reach a goal.

For example, you might send an eCard to celebrate employees’ teamwork, like this one created by Circa Logica Group:

This screenshot shows how one company used eCards to send recognition awards for teamwork.
26 Outstanding Recognition Awards to Elevate Company Culture 18

Notice how whoever sends the card can add a personal message alongside it to reflect their appreciation.

By rewarding employees for their team efforts, you’ll encourage them to work together to achieve greater results. Plus, collaborating toward a common goal can ensure that employees don’t feel overwhelmed by having all the responsibility placed on them.

Company Representation

While your company’s digital marketing and social media presence play a significant role in representing your company to the public, it’s outstanding customer or client feedback that truly boosts your company’s reputation. Rewarding employees who receive positive feedback will communicate the importance of your company’s service quality and reputation.

You might wait to receive this feedback naturally or ask for feedback by sending out a survey to your customers or clients, asking how their experience with your employee has been and what could be improved. If you send out a survey, encourage customers to give specific examples of how they’ve been helped and what stands out about your employee’s service. That way, you’ll have a specific commendation to pair with the award.

This reward will show employees that service is a high priority of your company. Plus, incentivizing positive customer service can boost your company’s reputation in the community when employees work hard to earn that award.

Years of Service

Reward employee retention, like significant anniversaries at the five, 10, and 15-year points in an employee’s time with your company. Celebrating lengthy stays shows your gratitude for employee loyalty and cultivates a sense of family in the workplace. It expresses that you’re grateful for those who stick around and will go the extra mile to show that appreciation.

This graphic highlights the benefits of creating a 'Years of Service' recognition award.

Standout Leader

Give rewards to employees who have taken initiative for work-related projects. By honoring leaders who lead through their actions, you’ll set a positive example for their teams and peers. In other words, you’ll motivate employees to take the lead and look for ways to push things forward.

Company Culture Ambassador

Just as your company aims to uphold its values, employees should also be held to this standard. By rewarding employees who exhibit the company’s values, you’ll communicate that these values are worth being celebrated and highlight these employees as successful representatives of these values.

You might create awards for each value, then establish a timeline for giving them. For example, you could give a weekly award to an employee who most exhibited a certain value in the past week.

Team Choice

Hold a company-wide vote for the employee who most deserves to be rewarded for their hard work. Ask employees to vote for someone other than themselves and to include the reason they believe a certain person should receive an award.

Then, when you reward the winning employee, read out or summarize all of the positive feedback received in the poll. This is an opportunity to make employees feel appreciated, not only by management, but also by their peers.

What Types of Recognition Rewards Should I Give?

Recognition awards offer an opportunity to get creative with your gratitude, and there are a variety of employee recognition tools at your disposal. Whether you want to go all out with your gifts or keep things simple, we’ll explore recognition award ideas your employees will love.

Send these tangible rewards alongside your recognition awards.
26 Outstanding Recognition Awards to Elevate Company Culture 23

1. Donations

Although charitable donations seem like an unconventional award, they’ll mean a lot to the employee who is passionate about a specific nonprofit or cause. Similar to contestants on a game show who compete for a donation to their charity of choice, nonprofit donations can be a meaningful way to reward employees for their hard work.

Encourage employees to give through your company’s corporate giving program and ask them for a list of nonprofits they support. For example, an employee might request that your company makes a donation to the local animal shelter whenever they earn a reward.

After making the donation, send your employee a charity eCard with the donation information. eCardWidget allows you to streamline this process by making the donation with an eCard. This award helps employees feel like they’re accomplishing social good through their corporate work. Also, it connects your company to the community and gives you an opportunity to demonstrate your company’s values on a regular basis.

2. Certificates

As a classic reward, certificates are a simple way to reward employees for their workplace achievements. Create certificate templates for different accomplishments. Then, add an employee’s name, print, and sign the certificate whenever they earn one. For example, you might create templates for the following achievements:

  • Completing a training course
  • Being mentioned in a positive customer review
  • Receiving an office superlative, such as earliest to start the day

To make the award more special, frame the certificate before presenting it to your employee. You might present the certificate in front of the whole office to draw special attention to the employee’s achievement. Also, provide a place in the office to hang the certificates to proudly display your employees’ contributions.

3. Plaques

Plaques are a step up from certificates and may be reserved for more significant accomplishments. These should be more formal and presented from the company rather than one person. For example, the plaque might read, “Technology Incorporated proudly presents this plaque to John Doe for his outstanding performance at the company for 10 years.”

Consider these occasions for presenting an employee with a plaque:

  • Work anniversary
  • Promotion
  • Employee of the year

Because plaques might represent a more significant occasion, accompany the award with a ceremony or party. In the example above, a company leader might present the plaque to John Doe at an after-work party and give a small speech highlighting John’s specific contributions and accomplishments.

4. Trophies

Trophies can be a fun gift to make your employees feel appreciated. Since certificates and plaques can award serious work accomplishments, consider using trophies for more fun recognition opportunities.

For example, you might treat trophies as a type of workplace superlative. Give a trophy of a bird and a worm to the employee who arrives the earliest every morning and call it the “early bird” award. Schedule a miniature award ceremony during everyone’s lunch break one day and give the awards in front of everyone in the office.

5. Employee Perks

Workplace perks are great rewards for exceptional work since they make the work day more convenient for your employees. Consider the following perks you might give to exceptional employees:

  • VIP parking spot: The closest parking spot to the office entrance
  • Company car: Use of a company car, even just for travel in between home and the office
  • Branded merchandise: T-shirts, water bottles, laptop bags, and other merchandise with the company’s colors and logo
  • Upgraded desk: A standing desk or higher quality workspace, according to the employee’s preference

These perks can be combined with other awards to make an employee feel like their accomplishment has earned special treatment. For example, the employee of the month might receive a special parking spot for the month along with a plaque recognizing their exceptional work.

6. Paid Time Off

Employee satisfaction research shows that regular breaks from work can make employees more productive. Consider rewarding accomplishments with some extra time off, not included in their allotted paid time off. For example, you might offer:

  • An extended break: Allow employees to take a longer lunch break, start the day later, or leave the office earlier than usual.
  • A half day of work: Allow employees to either come into the office or leave the office after lunch.
  • A full day off from work: Offer a long weekend or a break in the middle of the week with a full day off from work.

After employees put extra effort into their jobs, they might appreciate a break! Thank them for their efforts by giving them a chance to rest without having to worry about the number of sick days or PTO they have left.

7. Celebration Lunch

Celebrate your employees’ accomplishments with a free meal. Tell them to forgo packing lunch before coming in to work the next day.

You can ask for their restaurant preferences or give them a company card to purchase the meal themselves. If they’d rather eat in the office, pay to have the meal delivered.

If company leaders work closely with the employee, encourage them to take the employee out to a restaurant as a thank-you meal. You might also consider allowing the employee to invite their coworkers for a larger celebration.

Best Practices for Better Recognition Awards

Follow the tips in this graphic to create meaningful employee awards that improve company culture.

  • Recognize your employees frequently. At a minimum, we suggest designating employee awards annually. However, your best bet is to infuse recognition into everyday work. As we’ll explore, you can create employee recognition eCards that managers and peers can send whenever they want to call out exceptional performance.
  • Award actions that align with company values. Chances are, your organization has a series of values you want employees to exemplify. Common examples include integrity, innovation, accountability, and transparency. Create employee awards that align with these values.
  • Include peer nominations. Involve employees in the recognition process by allowing them to nominate their peers for awards. This fosters a culture of appreciation and empowers employees to recognize each other’s efforts.
  • Celebrate milestones. Recognize and celebrate employee milestones such as reaching work anniversaries, completing major projects, or reaching significant goals. Milestone awards can boost employee morale and loyalty in an instant.
  • Provide tangible rewards. Consider providing tangible rewards like gift cards, personalized gifts, or experiences that employees can enjoy. Remember, we explored plenty of great ideas above! 

It’s not enough to create a few half-hearted awards and call it a day. Your award process should be more thoughtful than that! From choosing the appropriate frequency to coordinating tangible gifts, following these tips will help you design awards that motivate employees to reach for the stars!
