Recognizing employees doesn’t have to be something that empties your wallet. In fact, some of the most meaningful awards to give to an employee are the ones that are thoughtful and personal. Employees that value authenticity and appreciation are in it for more than a big and flashy award. With the right approach, budget-smart awards can leave a lasting impact on your employees.
It's About the Meaning
Employees don’t know the dollar amount behind an award, they remember how it made them feel. A note of appreciation, or something small that reflects their contributions often means more than something extravagant. When recognition is tied to specifics, and is done genuinely, it goes a long way. Here at Baudville, we understand that small tokens of appreciation are valued greatly, and we have the best options for employees.
Charming Copper Keychain – Together We Make a Difference
This keychain is small, but leaves an incredible impact on those that receive it. The engraved phrase ‘Together We Can Make a Difference’ showcases the appreciation of the work somebody is doing, that it is meaningful and ‘making a difference’ within the organization or community. Also, the small, gold, puzzle piece that is the shape of that missing from the main frame signifies the employee. The perfect fit into a bigger picture. You can’t go wrong with this one, and it’ll be sure to be something they remember.
Appreciation Plant Cube – Grateful For You
A small, engraved, wooden box with the phrase ‘Grateful For You From My Hand To-Ma-Toes!’ has a comical appreciation to it, but also signifies employee growth. This plant cube allows the employee to grow their own tomato plant, providing a tasty reward for their hard work. It also is a symbol of them as a worker. The growth is not yet finished. Watering your plant, caring for it, and seeing the potential is a great testament to the hard work the employee is putting in for the company.
The Drake Stainless Steel Travel Mug – You Rock
Nothing says ‘I want you to take care of yourself’ than something that helps them do that. This mug, engraved with “You Rock | Remarkable, Outstanding, Committed, & Kind” is a stainless steel interior mug that allows your employee to know that you appreciate their work no matter where they go. They are able to use this at home, at work, or on-the-go and are reminded that their work is seen and valued, and adds the value of hydration!
Budget-smart awards prove that meaningful recognition is not about how many zeros were on the price tag, it is showing you care. When employees feel seen and valued, they become more engaged and motivated, overall contributing to organizational success. The possibilities are endless, explore more options now.
