If you are planning on handing out corporate recognition awards, you may not have a “big” idea on how it’s going to be done. You may even think that just “winging it” is a good option. However, when you put some thought and time into the presentation, the person receiving the award will take notice and the entire situation will mean even more to them. Use the tips here to ensure you present the award in a professional yet meaningful way.
Highlight the Reason for the Award
Rather than just handing someone an award for “Employee of the Month,” or “Most Accomplished Worker,” make sure that you first highlight the measurable factors that went into determining who received it. Make it clear why the winner received the award and what it was that helped them stand out from the crowd.
Select the Engraving Carefully
The corporate recognition awards you choose to hand out are going to have a big impact. As a result, you need to be thoughtful with the message you have printed on the award and edit it carefully. There are many award suppliers that can help you with the engraving message if you aren’t sure what will fit.
Plan the Award Presentation
You need to plan how you are going to present the corporate recognition awards. Some best practices to consider using include:
* Make the presentation an event with many onlookers
* Have a senior executive present the award to the recipient.
* Don’t wait to hand out awards.
Plan What will be Said
While you may know someone is a great worker, you need to have more than just that to say. Plan the speech you plan to give when handing out the award and practice it a few times before the ceremony. This will ensure it is meaningful and help you prevent any errors.
Giving awards is a great way to recognize hard working employees. However, using the tips here will ensure the presentation is just as memorable as the award itself.
