2 As a leader, building relationships with your team is one of your most important responsibilities. Think about the way you communicate and interface with them. Is it all just handing out assignments and setting deadlines? We hope not! After all, your employees aren t robots. They don t want to be controlled or programmed; they want to feel like they have a voice in the conversation. That there even IS a conversation. Giving recognition creates that exchange between managers and employees and provides the face time and interpersonal interactions that employees crave. And, it brings humanity into the picture. It says: you re important, you re worth my time, you re not just another number. ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS, WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE? It depends. Sometimes a verbal thank you or a high five is all that is needed. From there it can escalate to an ecard or handwritten note or a small appreciation gift. Trust your gut and go with what feels proportionate to the activity or behavior you re recognizing. Then there are awards. Awards are special. They mean something more noteworthy happened on your team, like an anniversary, a big win, or above and beyond performance. But the awards themselves are just part of the story. How you present them will make or break the occasion. Your goal is to make it. HOW WILL YOU DO THAT? Part of getting it right is understanding the weight of the moment. Overdoing it can be awkward; underdoing it can be disappointing. Determining if your award presentation should be formal or informal should be your first step. Informal award presentations are usually given for service anniversaries, points programs, and shortterm contests and initiatives. They can be given to individuals or groups in a casual setting on site or even in the employees workspaces. Formal award presentations typically happen at year end or on a specified date. Think: yearly awards, retirements, and, in certain instances, milestone anniversaries. They are more likely to be presented at a company party or in a ceremony-type setting. Once you know the format, then what? Present Like a Pro: A Practical Guide to Giving Awards 2016 RecogNation recognation.com 2

3 Giving Informal Awards Let s start with informal awards. They re simpler, yes, but you still need to prepare. THE PLANNING AND EXECUTION: 4 Identify who you are recognizing: An individual or a group For the same or different reasons 4 Decide if you want to recognize in a public (cafeteria or auditorium) or private setting (in the work area). NOTE: It s important to know your awardees preferences, so be sure to refer to the Tell Us About You forms you ve collected. 4 Make sure all of your presentation materials are in order and ready to give. 4 Write down some notes: Who is being recognized Why or for what reason How it positively impacts the organization A reminder to yourself to say thank you at the end 4 Gather your presentation materials. 4 Present in person, using your notes as a guide. NOTE: The presentation can be done by visiting the recipient s workspace, or by introducing them at a company meeting.
