4 Tips for Presenting Corporate Awards
In 2012, we received the ARA Large Retailer of the Year. Being presented in front of peers made it all the more meaningful.Step 1: Set up measurable outcomes. If you have metrics associated with your award, giving is clear and predictable.
Step 2: Choose your engraving carefully. Your award will have a big impact, so take the time to be thoughtful with your message and edit carefully. Visit our Engraving Ideas page for examples.
Step 3: Plan the presentation of the awards. Best practices include:
- Make it a crowd. Acknowledgement in front of peers has two benefits: it increases recognition value for the recipient and motives others to improve their performance.
- Bring in the VP. By having a senior executive present the award, it shows caring and buy-in from the leaders of the organization.
- Don't wait. Presenting the award in a timely manner ensures greater impact.
Step 4: Plan what will be said about the recipient and practice it. Some key things to remember include:
- Pronounce the person’s name correctly.
- State how the award was earned. Briefly discuss what the recipient did to help the organization and how that’s important to the overall mission, vision and goals.
- Keep it brief. Earned corporate awards will be cherished for many years to come. Make them count by going the extra mile to plan ahead to make them meaningful.
