Recognizing your employees’ hard work and achievements is a great way to show your appreciation and encourage continued success in the future. When it comes to honoring the top performers, nothing beats custom employee gifts, such as employee of the month awards. These trophies and plaques can be a meaningful, tangible and public way to praise your employees. And the more unusual they look, the more likely they are to become a favorite conversation piece. To make a bold impression, here are six unique employee award ideas for you to consider:

1. Crystal Globe Teamwork Award

If you want to recognize the combined effort of a department or group of employees, our Crystal Globe Teamwork Awards will make a great recognition gift. Standing ten inches tall, this stunning trophy is a solid crystal globe hoisted up by a silver metal riser. It sits on a black piano finished base, where your logo and personal message will be engraved. This custom award is an excellent way to recognize collective achievements while encouraging team building in the future.

2. Stone Resin Floating Acrylic Plaque

Break away from traditional plaque designs with this unique Stone Resin Floating Acrylic Plaque, made with stylish acrylic that “floats” on top of a natural looking stone resin plaque. Because the floating sheet is made of acrylic, we print your logo and message in a wide variety of colors. This helps give your custom employee gift a vibrant quality that makes it stand out from other business awards and plaques.

63If you want to individually recognize a large number of employees without breaking the bank on awards, our Cube Crystal Awards are a perfect solution.

Plaques make an excellent business recognition gift when you want something that can be displayed on a wall. Our White Marble Laser Engraved Plaque takes this employee award idea to the next level.
