Fun Workplace Awards to Help You Uncover Your Superheroes |
| |
|
|
Creating a culture of celebration, recognition, and appreciation is critical if you want to engage employees and foster a more inspiring workplace. And there are so many ways to recognize one another at work in fun ways, so to add to your ever-growing list, here are a few more
fun awards to consider doling out in your workplace:
The Houdini Award: For whoever magically makes a big problem disappear.
The Cat Herder Award: For whoever best "herds" meeting participants.
The Trivia Master: To whoever always has the weirdest, most arcane facts at their fingertips.
The GPS Award: To whoever can locate anyone or anything in the office.
The Jackass Whisperer: To whoever can best calm down or reason with a difficult customer. (Maybe don't let your customers know about this one?)
The Silver Medalist: For always finding the silver linings in challenging situations.
The Coach: To whoever is best at cheering people on and drawing the best out of coworkers.
The Batman/Catwoman Award: To whoever is mostly likely to actually be Catwoman or Batman.
The HA HA Award: To whoever keeps everyone laughing during a busy or stressful time.
Do you have a fun award you'd like to share? Drop me a line and I'll add it to the list!
