How Trophies Improve Employee Morale

Low employee morale can have adverse effects on retaining great employees and detrimentally effect productivity. There are many ways to improve workplace morale, such as increasing employees’ involvement and building employees’ self-esteem. Everyone likes to have their achievements recognized by others, and it is always more meaningful if someone else recognizes their success for them. There are some pretty simple and easy ways to do both at once! Here are some ideas that you can incorporate into your business.

1. Plan social and athletic activities.

For example, start a touch football league or a fantasy football league. This is a great way to create bonds between employees and have them interact with their co-workers in a setting beyond their work interactions. This will boost employee morale because it will give them something social to look forward to at the workplace beyond their work responsibilities.

Pro tip: Have a trophy to give to the winner to display on their desk or somewhere in the office. If you get one with space for multiple engravings, you can re-use it for many seasons to come.

2. Productivity awards

Recognize and reward top employees. If an employee is going above and beyond the call of duty- recognize and reward them for it. The most effective way to do this is to give them a trophy for them to place in their workspace. Not only will it boost their morale and give them tangible evidence that their hard work is appreciated, but it will show other employees that if they improve their productivity they will be rewarded for it. This is an easy way to ensure that your top employee will continue preforming exceptionally, and to incentivize your other employees to boost their productivity.

Pro tip: Give your top employee this trophy
