Many companies use awards and certificates to recognize employee achievement.  Some purchase expensive plaques, while others use printed certificates that are often underwhelming and even insulting with the low quality of the printed certificate.  Matte watch can produce a quality certificate award design that is inexpensive, but impressive when viewed by the recipient.  My writable designs can give you a certificate style that looks great in print, or can be delivered as a digital image to recognize employee achievements with a quality unmatched by most cheap certificate stock.  Have a look at one possible style.

Do you want to make a good impression on the people who take care of you?  In a recent inspiration, I created an award to recognize the efforts of apartment maintenance workers for a local complex.  The award was sent to the leasing manager of the complex via email, and the response that was returned in the reply was, “That is so wonderful and much appreciated.  I will make sure to show maintenance the minute they come into the office.  THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”  How many unsung heroes do you know that could use a little encouragement?  With a Matte Watch award, you can afford to praise them all.  What can we do for you today?

In a recent get together between my grandson and my neighbor’s child, I put the boys to work as a team competing against me in a friendly game we made up rules for as we went along, always adjusting in the boys’ favor.  As the competition progressed, the enthusiasm for the game swelled, and my granddaughter added color by becoming the event announcer and keeping score on a white board.  When the volume started getting a bit high, I pronounced that our game should be announced a bit more like a round of golf.  When the boys soundly defeated me by a wide margin, there were lots of congratulations and some follow up interviews to gather the thoughts of the team members and what they would remember most about their victory.  Of course, such a monumental moment in the imagination could not be complete without a trophy for the winning team, so I put this image together for them to remember their triumph against all odds and a superior opponent.   The boys were pleased with their spoils.

Custom Digital Awards

Many different rich designs are possible with digital awards.

Most of the postings on this site are made up from my own photos as a way to give you an idea of some product possibilities rather than providing a strict template for how your work will be completed.  As we move forward, we may find that our approach needs to change, and shift our focus toward mass sales of replicated designs.  So, what is so special about our work?  The answer is the truly unique approach we use in custom designs from your photos.  You are invited to give this special service a try.  I think you will be glad you did.

One of the most under utilized areas for business improvement lies in the way companies recognize the accomplishments of employees.  In fact, employee recognition is an important part of morale building, encouraging achievement, and building productivity among workers.  There are many ways to recognize employee contributions through salary increases, promotion, and programs, but these methods can be costly when compared to the good old-fashioned concept of sincere praise and presentation.

Many companies use prints of homemade recognition certificates signed by a director, supervisor, or company officer to acknowledge a superior project achievement, productivity, product development, years of service, and other occasions worthy of note.  Unfortunately, the quality of these moments is diminished by the lack of care given to creating the means of recognition, and the impact is lost after the award is presented.  Awards of this kind do not give an employee something to cherish for a job well done, because the inferior quality speaks volumes about how little regard the accomplishment has been given by the company.  A poorly designed recognition certificate is no better than writing “Thanks!” with a signature on a dirty napkin. Poorly designed recognition awards will most likely wind up meeting the same fate as a pile of dirty napkins. 

With the quality of an award being just as important as the content, one might question how a cost-effective alternative can be made available to meet the requirement to improve end results.  One solution I found on a number of different levels was in creating digital award products.  Digital certificates or awards provide the ability to raise the quality of the visual image, whether awarded electronically, or issued in print form.  Digital awards provide the benefit of making compositions look richer, last longer, and provide a higher value of image for employees to share with others in showing off their accomplishments. 

Since starting my digital award designs, the feedback I have received from recipients has been consistently positive.  One person told me the award I made for them was more impressive than the one she received from the company she worked for in recognition of 10 years service.  In another instance, I made a joke award for a friend of mine that she printed and put up in her cubical at work.  She reported that she still gets people coming by to congratulate her for receiving such a nice award. 

The point to all this is that there is a hidden gold mine of employee appreciation waiting for companies that take the time to pay attention to detail when it comes to praising employees.  This benefit does not require a high cost investment to achieve.  Good digital award designs can cost the same or less than those homemade PC certificates, but have an impact that gives an employee the impression that they have truly been noticed.
