The best award-worthy ideas for employee recognition

The listening ear award

Did you know that employees are more likely to stay at a company if they are listened to? This award is best reserved for managers and leaders who actively listen to and address feedback from fellow employees in real time. Providing actionable plans to tackle any issues not only creates a company culture of open communication, but it also serves to encourage fresh ideas and innovation from the wider team.

The champion collaborator award

There’s always that one employee who holds the team together with their collaborative efforts. With multiple deadlines and commitments to juggle, working as part of a successful team can be challenging. By shining a spotlight on those key team players, you can foster a positive “can-do” attitude and celebrate unity within the workplace, encouraging individuals to achieve shared goals and project milestones.

The extra mile award

If an employee has gone the extra mile to deliver exceptional results, why not celebrate their positive mental attitude with an above and beyond award? Staff members who consistently surpass expectations and contribute more than their job roles require deserve ultimate recognition. They’ll then be more likely to exhibit this behaviour again and again, which will pay dividends for your company’s success.

Employee choice award

Peer-to-peer awards allow other staff members to get involved and have their say in which employees continuously stand out in the workplace. These awards allow team members to get creative and invent their own categories, before voting on their favourites; fostering a sense of unity and togetherness. Some of our top employee choice award titles include the best dressed award and the everyday unsung hero.
