6 Creative Ways to Use Awards to Build Team Spirit During the Holidays

1.     Host a Holiday-Themed Award Ceremony

The holidays are the perfect time to recognize your employees’ hard work this past year. Here are a couple of ideas for you to adapt to your workplace environment.

• End of Year Awards. Host an end-of-year awards ceremony and give out recognition plaques with a festive touch. It’s a great time to present years of service awards, too. You can also include a few light-hearted categories.
• Add a Custom Touch. Present winners with engraved awards that showcase their award title. You can also add your company brand or logo. Custom trophies add a special personal touch.

2.     Secret Santa Plus a Personal Touch

Want to build a little excitement? Try a Secret Santa gift exchange. It’s a classic that is always fun for everyone.

• Custom Name Plates. Make the day even more special by incorporating custom name plates into the Secret Santa game.
• Name Badges. Consider using engraved holiday-themed name tags for employees to wear during the event.

3.     Festive Office Decor

Turn the office or workspace into a winter wonderland. Decorate the entire office or work area as you prepare for the end-of-year celebration.

• Personalized Office. Each employee could have their own personalized stocking. Personalized custom ornaments on the office tree are a nice touch.

4.     Holiday Packaging

If your business ships packages or gifts to clients for the holidays, add a festive touch.

• Customization Ideas. Use branded packaging tape or labels. You can incorporate holiday décor and your company logo to make it stand out.
• Big Impact. Even adding simple decorations like snowflakes or snowmen to packaging tape is a noticeable element that can make a huge difference.

5.     Team-Building Holiday Games

If your teams are going to get together for the holidays, add some fun activities or games. This will make the event fun while also helping to strengthen your team’s bonds.

• Game Ideas. Organize a company trivia game or a scavenger hunt for employees. You can also give them custom name tags with holiday titles like “Mistletoe Maven” or “Reindeer Leader.”
• Customize. Create engraved name tags to give as prizes for game winners. These can be practical, festive, or funny.

6.     Employee Recognition Wall

Want a visible and meaningful way to celebrate your team? Create an employee recognition wall.

• Personalized Messaging. Dedicate a space in the office to put personalized messages of gratitude.
