3 Ways to Enhance Corporate Award Ceremonies
GUIDE
As the leader of your corporation, it is your job to help your employees feel acknowledged for the hard work they do each day.
Corporate award ceremonies can be a great way to do just that.
Here are some fun corporate award ceremony ideas that will definitely enhance any party.
Celebrate Your Team
Award ceremonies don’t have to center around only handing out awards. They can be an excellent chance for your employees to get to know each other better. This helps build a strong team spirit in your business. Awards ceremonies are often a part of company Christmas parties, company picnics, and other employee appreciation events.
Our event production company has planned and executed award ceremonies for over 35 years. Here are our top three ideas for your award ceremony.
Idea #1: Plan a Field Day, Picnic or Party
One way to enhance awards ceremonies is through corporate field days. These events can bring out the competitive side of your team. They also help employees work together towards a common goal.
Take, for example, the films of the 80s that showcase the ideal company picnic. Employees train hard to master the events against (or with) fellow co-workers. This is just what your corporate field day can be. It can even allow you to hand out a whole new set of customized awards for their physical achievements.
Another way to build camaraderie and strengthen loyalty to your company is through competitive trivia. This is great for those with physical limitations. You can ask your employees questions about your company’s brand or image and award them based on their knowledge.
You could ask questions about the organization’s mission statement or corporate values. These questions can help you see how well your employees know your business’s goals and culture. Learn more on how to brand your brand at events or how to explore your work culture at events.
Idea #2: Rewarding Awards
When planning a corporate award ceremony, it is important to include all of your employees. You can create fun and silly awards for all different types of employees. An award for “Most Memes Sent to Fellow Employees” could be one of them. “Most Time Spent in the Breakroom” is another excellent award option.
Allow your employees to submit funny categories prior to the event. Add the top categories to your digital RSVP so employees can vote for each other. Finally, your event manager can have professionally made awards to give out on the day of your ceremony.
Consider hosting an unforgettable experience for your team with a red carpet. Award recipients can walk the carpet to grab their awards. Hosting an awards ceremony with unique employee choice awards can take the experience to new heights.
For remote teams, live-streaming the awards events can help engage them and boost participation. Have them vote in chat or on social media and post winners under a dedicated hashtag.
Idea #3: Personalize It
When you give out awards at your ceremony, make sure they are not generic or general. You must choose awards that can customize each recipient.
Give awards that match their personalities to make your employees feel special. One that celebrates a favorite inside joke can make it more memorable. Customizable award pins or printed award certificates are an economical way to celebrate multiple employees’ accomplishments. Consider opening photo booths for pictures of the award winners and their prizes.
Our 165 awards categories blog is full of fun award categories for employees.
Customizing the experiences at your award party is another great way to recognize your team. We always say that the guests shape the path the event takes. Taking inventory of what your attendees want or need from the celebration ensures its success.
Whether it’s a novel theme, some fun excursions, or a team building experience, knowing your team is vital. Building an event around their desires makes it all the more successful.
