Benefits of team recognition awards

In a previous blog, we spoke about meeting icebreakers and how they are a great way to get everyone relaxed and ready to go.

This got us thinking about team recognition awards, which are a great way of boosting morale and the bottom line.

Research shows that happy employees have a positive impact on an organisation’s revenues and customer satisfaction by creating an atmosphere of open communication, recognition, trust, respect, and fun.

Just to show that you can have fun at work here are a dozen team recognition ideas that we’ve used in the past.

Can’t believe you said that award – Should be self-explanatory!

Single file award – Someone who keeps the business/team in line

Bermuda Triangle award – Things go to this desk, but don’t come out!

Baby bottom award – Smooth in a time of crisis

Golden megaphone award – Always there to cheer the team up

Heinz Ketchup award – Always keep everyone waiting

Coco Channel/GQ award – Best dressed in the business/team

Sherlock Holmes award – Can figure out any problem

Glass half-full award – Your most optimistic person

Girl/Boy Scout award – Always prepared!

The fridge award – Always keep their cool

The wise one award – The person who dispenses words of wisdom

For a nice touch extra touch, why not get a prize to award that is linked to the winning category. For example, a mini-flashlight for someone whose positive attitude shines in dark situations.

Why not let us know your experience of the above ideas or let us have your suggestions.
