Say It With Style: Award Engraving Ideas

Finding the right words to recognize your team of employees, interns, volunteers and staff can be challenging. There are many considerations to keep in mind as you are creating inscriptions for awards in your office in efforts to leave a positive impression on your recipient and leave a lasting mark in your company.

Below are a few considerations with examples to assist you in creating the perfect award.

Culture

What is your company culture? Consider the dynamics of your office for your award inscriptions. Are you a family-based business whose team shares similar values? Or, is your team virtual with staff across various geographic locations? Is your office or department mostly C-level professionals? Each group of awardees requires a different type of inscription to match company culture and environment.

Diversity and Inclusion

Each team member or employee has his or her own unique perspective and values which is the next consideration to assess. While many awards may use inspirational quotes or religious messages, be mindful to not offend your recipient with politically incorrect inscriptions. If using quotes from an author, consider the source and perspective of the recipient. Tread carefully, and keep the focus on the accomplishment.

Visualize your team’s awards! Here are more specific examples that will get you started on recognizing your team and sharing a special message that will be remembered throughout their professional career.
