And the award goes to...

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.

Size Matters

There are several things to consider when deciding what size your nametag should be. After all, the goal is to make the most impact in the shortest amount of time.

The first – and most important – is the wearer’s name. Are you going to be using both the wearer’s first and last names? Remember, the name tag will need to be big enough regardless of how long the wearer’s name is. Are you also planning to include the wearer’s job title or any other information?

The second is your company’s logo. You want it to be large enough so that it can easily be seen and identified but you do not want it to overshadow the wearer’s name. Once you’ve determined the correct size for your logo, you need to consider its placement on the name tag. Should it be at the top or bottom? On the right or left side?

The third is the nametag’s visibility. Is the wearer attending a meeting or a trade show? Is she making a sales call? Is he a waiter? A real estate agent? A nurse? There is an appropriately sized name tag for each of these situations.

The fourth is the nametag’s shape. While this may seem a minor consideration, a unique shape can lend just the right amount of whimsy or seriousness to a name tag. Both our plastic engraved name tags and full color plastic name tags can be custom sized to give your nametag a personal touch.

And last, but not least, is the fun stuff – font and color! Our metal name tags and plastic engraved name tags come in a broad selection of color pairs, while our full color plastic name tags can be digitally imprinted with your full color logo. We also offer a number of different writing styles designed to complement your shape and color choices.

Who knew how much care and thought could go into choosing a name tag? Well, we did! And now that you know, too, you can use these guidelines to make the right choice when choosing your next name tag.
