What are the most common recognition programs?
A. Service Recognition - Programs to recognize service related contributions:

B. Employee of the Month/Quarter/Year - Usually recognized based on criteria or nominations.

• Attendance goals
• Sales achievements
• Productivity
• Team building
• Safety standards

What award should I give to commemorate an achievement?
No matter what type of award you give employees – large or small – it’s worth spending a few more dollars to include a customized gift or plaque. Employees love to display these mementos in their offices, over their work areas or in their homes. Cash gets spent, merchandise wears out, the trip becomes a memory but a customized gift is a permanent reminder of their success.

What do I give for a team award?
Each member of the team should get the same award. Ideas include:

• Picture of the team in an engraved frame
• Quality writing instruments with their project or individual names
• Recommended personalization: Congratulations, You Did It! (Company Logo, Date)
• A distinctive plaque or trophy
• Example personalization:.

What is a good gift for our boss?
Customized matching desk accessories, clock, or a writing instrument are great gifts for even the most discriminating boss or supervisor.

What are appropriate awards for my loyal employees, associates, suppliers and customers?
You should consider the recipient’s age, personal taste and style, and your budget when choosing an award. Younger associates often appreciate business accessories, such as fine writing instruments or desk sets. Older associates often like to receive fine timepieces, such as watches and clocks, which provide a symbolic reference to the time they have invested in their careers.

How much should I spend on a corporate gift?
The amount an organization spends on an award depends on the significance of achievement, company budgets, and years of service. The more significant the achievement, the more dollars are spent.

When should I put a corporate logo on a recognition gift?
Logo usage depends on the goal(s) of your gift and the recipient. Company logos are most suitable on achievement, recognition, service and incentive awards for a job well done. When giving a gift to a long-standing, important client, it is best to customize it with his/her company logo.
