In more ways than one, a corporate world is like an ocean. At times, the winds are so rough and the waves so choppy that you need a collective effort from each and every member of your company to ensure that you bypass this torrid time effectively. At the end of such a phase, a recognition and reward program can help boost the morale of every employee in the company and also motivate them to perform to the best of their ability. Recognition awards can be given to a group for their exceptional performance or to an individual for his remarkable contribution towards the success of the organization in a year.

Methods of Recognition - The traditional method of recognition was for a corporation to offer gifts to their employees by means of selection out of a printed catalog. Today more and more companies are offering gifts to their employees via company branded websites.

Types of Service Awards - Many companies such as large pharmaceuticals and banks will present their employees with items that have their logo included. Other companies will offer gifts such as appliances, personal use products, jewelry or functional office gifts. Some will even offer a combination of logo items and non logo items. The gift selection depends entirely on the philosophy of the employer.
