The Many Benefits of a Perpetual Plaque

16-plate Eagle Perpetual PlaqueYou’ve probably seen perpetual plaques in locations like universities, community centers, large corporations or your local grocery store. It is a large plaque with spaced out engravable plates. Often, they are filled out only partially awaiting the next recipient. Businesses use them to honor employees of the month, winners of competitions, or other outstanding accomplishments that may be repeated throughout the year. You’ve probably seen them displayed in lobbies or large common areas. They are most useful for awards that are repeatedly given. Instead of purchasing a whole new award each time it is given, a new plate is engraved with pertinent information such as the honoree’s name, job title, or accomplishment category.

Benefits of a Perpetual Plaque

The most notable benefits of perpetual plaques are their adaptability and longevity. With one purchase, you’ll have the advantage of a durable and long-lasting display that only needs to have a small plate engraved with new recipient information periodically. One example is the “Employee of the Month” perpetual plaque. It can contain three columns with four rows. Each plate is used for the month of the year. Throughout the year, names are added to the plaque to create a continuous motivation for other employees and staff. Key benefits include:

  • No matter how frequently the awards are presented, the perpetual plaque featuring each recipient in a series of awards is a constant visible reminder to help others throughout the organization stay focused.
  • Create a positive energy in the workplace by making recognition available to every individual.
  • Constantly reinforce the core values of your organization or business by spotlighting those individuals who exhibit them. By recognizing “standard bearers” of the corporate guiding principles, the staff can clearly see a model they can emulate as they also continue to strive for success.

Ways to Use Perpetual Plaques

Some awards are based on a one-time recognition and are designed accordingly. Perpetual awards are designed to allow for multiple recipients or occurrences of the award. There are innumerable ways to use these unique customizable plaques. The idea of a perpetual award is to honor and celebrate numerous individuals or accomplishments at once, or over time. Here are a few ideas for starters.
