TOP 5 UNEXPECTED REASONS TO CELEBRATE WORKPLACE ACHIEVEMENTS 

5. BEING SAFETY CONSCIOUS
When employees and coworkers are being safety conscious they create a healthier happier workplace for everybody. Recognize the people who go above and beyond to participate in safety committees, or model safe behaviour and encourage their peers to be safety conscious. You will be surprised by the positive snowball effect that will be created.

4. RECOGNIZING & CELEBRATING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF PEERS 
A team that is supportive of each other's individual successes and accomplishments is more cohesive, therefore, resulting in greater collaboration and broader thinking. 

3. GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND
Customer service is so important in today's economy where people who choose to shop in store instead of on-line go for the human connection. When an employee goes above and beyond for a customer it makes a difference, so let them know you noticed!!

2. TAKING ON AN EXTRA LOAD TO LESSEN THE BURDEN OF OTHERS
This could mean a multitude of things. Perhaps they covered shifts on their days off or frequently worked overtime to ensure the job got done. These may feel like normal activities that are just expected, but they are not. When an employee or coworker agrees to help out beyond what is required in their job description they deserve recognition. 

1. BEING A TEAM PLAYER
No workplace could survive without the people who come together to make up the team. These could be the people who are leading projects or the people assisting on them. When they are reliable, communicate well, share their ideas, and help out wherever possible they are being a good team player. Show your appreciation by recognizing these actions. 

Now that you know why, the big question is how! That answer is simple. Give a personalized gift that really shows off how important you feel the recipient is.
