Bored of re-sharing the same old titles every year in the name of employee recognition? Well, choosing names for employee recognition awards can be tricky!
But when no one is excited to receive the ‘Best Employee Award’ or ‘Employee of the Month Award’, the award has already lost its lustre. That’s when your company urgently needs some creative award names that inspire and excite the employees.
That’s why we have curated a list of 50 creative award names that you can proudly award your employees. So choose from the creative recognition titles below, or use them to spark your own!
In the realm of employee recognition, peer-to-peer awards hold a special place, empowering team members to celebrate each other’s accomplishments in a meaningful way. With creative names like High Five Hero or Teamwork Titan (worry not, we’ve added more of these below) these awards can add a fun, personal touch while fostering a culture of mutual respect and recognition.
An employee recognition tool like ThriveSparrow will help you identify top performers through its Kudos Leaderboard, providing real-time insights into who is making notable contributions to your organization.
Sign up here for ThriveSparrow to start a peer-to-peer recognition program now.
That’s it! Now time to find your MVPs.
Wondering how to find the true MVP of your workforce?
With properly crafted, engaging 360-degree assessments, you can easily identify the star employee of your office – and also, the ones who need help. Here’s an employee peer-review survey created using SurveySparrow.
And also customize enough medals for these honor titles to amaze and excite employees. When employees are awarded honorary titles, they can also receive honorary custom medals, which is a substantive affirmation of employees. Custom medals not only include the company’s recognition of employees but also serve as incentives for employees in their follow-up work, ensuring each employee’s wholehearted contribution. To save time and effort, you can directly contact the medal manufacturer GS-JJ if you need to customize creative medals for your employees. As a medal manufacturer with more than 20 years of medal production experience, you can easily get the medals you want from them. For more medal customization details, please click here.
