Employee Recognition Wording Examples and Appreciation Award Quotes

Knowing the right thing to engrave on appreciation awards is hard. Depending on the achievement or the person being recognized, finding the right words to engrave on your trophy is important so that the award is meaningful, impactful, and treasured for years to come. Not all of us who are tasked with procuring trophies for an event or an individual are also gifted with the art of the written word, which is why Successories has created a list of the most meaningful award messages broken out thematically. Successories motivational themed award messages are a great way to recognize employees' commitment to excellence or team effort during your next award ceremony. Successories employee recognition awards also come pre-decorated with words of recognition or you can write your own message. If you're looking for something to keep your employees going after they receive their award, be sure to include one of our motivational posters.
