Staff recognition awards

Why recognition awards matter

Staff recognition works best when it is specific, timely and visible. A well chosen award turns a thank you into something a person can keep, display and show their family. It also shows the rest of the team what your business values.

Moments to recognise

• Service anniversaries, such as 5, 10 and 20 years
• Employee of the month, quarter or year
• Sales and target achievements
• Safety and compliance milestones
• Annual awards nights
• Retirements and farewells
• Client and partner gifts

Choosing the material

• Acrylic: a premium option, priced close to crystal. Its real strength is engraving, which comes out very clear and crisp, so names and logos really pop.
• Crystal: the traditional choice for milestone and executive awards, with a light catching, prestigious look.
• Glass and metal: a clean, modern look that suits many offices.
• Timber: a warmer, less corporate feel, often chosen to stand apart from the usual crystal block.

Branding your awards

Send us your logo and we can engrave it, or on certain corporate awards print it in full colour using UV printing. We can lay out the wording with the recipient's name, the award title and the date. See our corporate awards for the range.

Set up a program, not just a one off

If you recognise staff regularly, an ongoing program saves time. Our Corporate Recognition Program delivers done for you quarterly awards, designed and co-branded for your business, and you approve a proof before anything is engraved.

Common mistakes

• Leaving the order until the week of the event
• Choosing the same award for every level of achievement
• Misspelling a name, which is the most common reason for a reorder
• Skipping the proof when a logo is involved
