Being recognized for a job well done is not just personally satisfying, it also adds to the overall employee morale of a workplace. Studies show that more than 50% of employees agree that company recognition impacts their performance, yet only 10% of employees feel they are receiving adequate recognition. In addition, more than a third of employees cite lack of recognition as one of the main reasons for quitting.
And yet we all know how tight the current market is. For many companies, that means raises or bonuses are out of the question. Fortunately, showing appreciation for your hard-working employees doesn’t have to be expensive.
Consider our custom designed medals. Though we are best known for our high-quality nametags, we also offer a wide selection of spin- and die-cast medals, perfect for everything from sports and scholastic awards to corporate recognition and achievement awards. Our handsome, one-of-a-kind medals can even be used as a commemorative keepsake for important events.
And just as with our name tags, our medals allow you to add your own personal touch. You can choose a unique shape. You can use an enamel color filling or opt for a cut-out. You can select a single- or double-sided design. You can even go for a custom portrait. As always, it’s up to you. But if you can’t decide, our graphic design professionals are on-hand to assist you every step of the way.
Now the only question is when you should recognize your employees. Naturally, you want to show gratitude when they go above and beyond; this is called a performance recognition award. But there are other times when presenting a custom medal may be just as appropriate. These can include the successful achievement of an orientation program, career anniversaries, and retirement ceremonies.
Just be sure to tailor the presentation to the recipient. Some people may prefer a quiet thank-you or a written commendation along with their medal whereas others may enjoy a more high-profile, social event. You know your employees, you know how best to meet their needs for personal satisfaction in the workplace. And we know medals. So don’t hesitate to let us help you brighten up your workplace, regardless of the economic climate.
Join us next post when we’ll be talking about other, non-financial ways to incentivize your employees. Until then, remember that…
