The Importance of Recognising Excellence
It’s a well-known fact that good reward and recognition programmes can have a positive impact in the workplace. Research by Reward Gateway, the UK’s leading employee engagement platform provider, showed that more than 70% of employees want their employers to do more to motivate them. One of the top reasons for feeling demotivated is a lack of recognition – and this can lead to lower levels of productivity, declines in mental health, reduction in work quality, and increased employee turnover.
How to Recognise Excellence with Trophies and Awards
Recognising excellence with awards at work is a great way to motivate and reward employees for their outstanding contributions. There’s a huge range of award types, from long service awards recognising long-term employees to employee of the year awards recognising those who go above and beyond.
The types of awards you should choose for your company depends on a range of factors including your industry, the size and type of your company and your company’s mission and values. You may choose to celebrate an overall employee of the year, or you may decide to devise specific categories recognising achievements in areas such as sales, teamwork or innovation.
Each of these award categories needs a trophy – and the impact will be even better if you opt for a personalised award. Each of our 3D engraved flawless crystal awards can be individually personalised for their recipients, adding a wonderful personal touch to a gift that can last a lifetime. There’s no limit to how much you can customise our crystal awards, trophies and gifts – anything is possible, as there’s nothing we can’t engrave!

Factors To Consider When Choosing Star Awards
When choosing the perfect star trophy, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Budget: Make sure you know how much you’re willing to spend upfront. There are trophies available at different price points, so you can find one that fits your budget without sacrificing quality or style.
- Size: Think about how big the trophy should be based on how important the achievement is. Bigger trophies work well for fancy events, while smaller ones are great for recognizing individuals.
- Design and Personalisation: Try to find a trophy that matches the theme or vibe of your event. You can also personalise it with engravings or event logos to make it extra special and memorable.
- Event Fit: It’s important that the trophy matches the event or occasion where it’ll be given. Think about what the achievement means, what the organisation values, and what the recipients expect. A trophy that connects with the event’s purpose will make the recognition even more meaningful.
Customising Your Star Awards
Each of these crystal star awards can be fully personalised for your company as well as each category and winner. Once you let us know your requirements, we’ll provide you with a selection of different crystal shape ideas along with your quote.
We only need a rough design idea for your 3D engraving along with your personalisation requirements, and then we can support you with creating a fully developed and unique design. Our creative design team will produce some 3D visuals for you to review from different angles, and for large orders, we can even provide a pre-production crystal piece for final approval.
Consider adding colour to your bespoke crystal star award design to make it come to life, adding depth and vibrancy to the engraving and making it even more recognisably yours.
