In the corporate world, you can’t move without hearing about an upcoming business award ceremony or internal achievement celebration. Whether it’s a regular, monthly award given to the employee who sold the most products or a special, annual recognition award for the most successful team, there’s always something to be working towards. And here at Laser Crystal, we absolutely love that!
In this blog, we’ll be discussing exactly how trophies and awards are used in business and corporate environments, and their impact on employee motivation and business growth.
Awards are used to celebrate individual achievements within a business
From long service awards to employee of the month trophies, crystal awards are often used in the corporate setting to recognise and reward individual employees. Knowing an award with their name on it could be around the corner gives employees an extra incentive to win it, especially if it’s viewed as valuable or prestigious within the business, is given in an awards ceremony, or comes with a financial reward.
Awards such as this help to set achievement goals in the minds of employees: if they see others working hard and winning the awards, they may be motivated to do the same. These awards also serve to recognise this hard work, rather than letting it fly under the radar. Presenting an employee who always goes above and beyond with a bespoke crystal award can do wonders for their drive to keep working at that level for your company.
They’re also used within industries to recognise entire businesses or projects
Business awards are commonplace across virtually any industry you could think of, from farming industry awards and construction awards to technology awards. Whilst companies use awards to motivate and recognise the great work of their employees, industry awards schemes do the same on a larger scale, celebrating the achievements of entire businesses in various areas important to the industry. This helps encourage a higher quality of work across the industry, such as in innovation, sustainability, or customer experience.
Industry-wide award corporate award events like the EN Supplier Awards or the CIPD People Management Awards bring businesses together to celebrate and network at one event. Many of these awards hold space for small businesses like start-ups, family-run businesses and SMEs in order to help them grow in the same way as large, multinational corporations, providing opportunities for advertising and networking that they may not have otherwise had.
Awards ceremonies are a great way to get a large corporate team together
In the corporate world, an awards ceremony is the perfect opportunity for a massive black tie bash. For large teams with employees based nationally, this can be the only time of year when everyone is together, making it even more special. Celebrating the achievements of your colleagues can bring you closer to them, sharing in their happiness and getting to know them outside of the office. And it feels even better when you receive an award yourself!
Rather than just focusing on awards like ‘top performer’ or ‘most sales’, include awards which recognise the dedication and hard work of individuals, even if it hasn’t necessarily paid off for them. This will help keep these employees motivated and willing to try again and again. You can also hand out awards for teams, departments, or those working on particular projects. Very rarely do people achieve what they do through working purely solo – more often than not, they’ll be part of a team that has supported them or otherwise allowed them to realise their goals. Recognising these teams with an award will show them that they’re an integral part of the company, especially if you provide an individual crystal trophy for each team member.
Trophies serve as commemorative items, customised to each recipient for them to keep for many years
High-quality, engraved crystal awards and trophies are not only designed to last and never fade – they’re designed to be beautiful, so that recipients want to keep them for many years. The quality reflects well on your business, as it shows you prioritise giving your employees a well-thought out, special award, and can serve as extra motivation to your employees.
Using specialist 3D lasers, we can engrave each individual crystal award with an intricate design, your company’s logo, and the name of the award and each recipient. The result is a flawless crystal award which you are proud to present. Laser Crystal has the production capacity to deal with individual pieces as well as large volume runs using our 24-hour automated production facility.
As the UK’s leading crystal award supplier, all of our award and gift pieces come presented in high quality satin lined presentation gift boxes with a white wrap-around sleeve. We know how first impressions count so we always use premium gift boxes as every gift reflects your brand values. Not only does the gift box provide protection to keep the award safe but its quality appearance also adds to making the award feel extra special. We can even personalise your presentation gift box or wrap around sleeve with your logo or company name to make it truly bespoke.
