How to Create an Employee Recognition Certificate

Video Transcript

"Recognition certificates are one of the great ways that you can motivate employees to do a better job. My name is Gloria Campbell. I'm with Advantage Training Systems in St. Petersburg, Florida, and I want to tell you how to create a certificate of recognition for your employees. There's some elements that you want to make sure are part of your certificate program. First you want to make sure that your name, company name and the individuals name is on the certificate. You want to tell what it's for. For instance, Jane Doe for outstanding customer service. You want to put a date on there so that it would be August, September, and whatever date and year. Sign it. The power of having a signed certificate increases the value in the employees mind by about fifty percent. It means that you took some time, you actually put your signature on there. My personal favorite is to frame them. It's very inexpensive to do and it really gives the employee the value that you want to translate by giving them that certificate. The other thing that they'll do is it's very easy then to go and hang it on their walls in their office or their cubicles. Certificates of recognition are one of the least expensive ways that you can motivate your employees and keep performance going. My name is Gloria Campbell and I'm with Advantage Training Systems in St. Petersburg, Florida. Certificates that recognize employee's performance keep morale up and keep performance up."
