Diminishing Office Stress With Funny Trophy Awards

By Tracy Haney

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

As good as it is, companies can do something more than just grant employees a pat on the shoulder to promote morale in this day and age of depressed and distracted manpower. Giving away a trophy especially prepared for the employee is a plain and affordable token that will produce lasting impact towards personnel motivation.

When you think of big sports events, there’s always a trophy at the finish line. A match without a trophy doesn’t look like a competition at all. Because it’s the ultimate aim in every match. It’s the symbol of what the contestants are vying for.

Trophies aren’t exclusive to physical matches. Even a local grade school gives away a trophy to the winner of their Spelling Bee contest. Cooking competitions, pie-eating contests, beauty pageants, talent competitions, and almost any match that measures skills and talents also use trophy as the ultimate prize.

And, believe it or not, there is also a need for trophies at the workplace. It doesn’t always have to be a prize for the game winners.

The management usually gives appreciation plaques to staff members who have done an exceptional work to show that their hard work is recognized and greatly valued. Whatever their position in the office is, they will strive to do more because they know they are respected members of the unit.

If plaques show appreciation and promote hard work, trophies can keep the balance in the workplace. A trophy doesn’t have to be about competitions all the time. It can be a source of entertainment for the employees, who, amid the stress in the workplace, need a reminder that they have to relax a bit sometimes.

An annual “awards show” can do the trick. Staff members can vote for their colleagues for humorous categories. Examples are an award for the most deserving worker who has drunk the most cups of coffee in a day and a trophy for the office Karaoke King and Dancing Queen for the talents they have exhibited during a previous office party.

That’s one way of creating balance in the work place. Although the whole year has been stressful for everyone, an “awards show” once a year will make it fun. Laughing with each other will help diminish the stress and tension in the office.

It’s not to wake up the competitive nature of the workers. The awards should not be serious at all, and should be amusing and inoffensive. With this awards show, workers will hopefully be reminded that even though they need to concentrate and give their best while working, they should also have time to unwind and enjoy their colleagues’ company. They may be in that place to work, but they are also working with their colleagues.

Corporate gifts, a professionally engraved plaque or a personalized trophy can express the appreciation you want to convey for someone’s work performance. Have one customized today!. This article, Diminishing Office Stress With Funny Trophy Awards has free reprint rights.
