Steps To A Successful Awards Ceremony :
- Let Recipients know they will be honoured at an awards ceremony.
- Ask if the recipient would like to say a few words and give them the opportunity to make a few comments. Advise people within the company by email or company newsletter so that you underscore the importance of the presentation.
- Select someone to present the award and make sure they have all of the pertinent information to explain how his or her efforts have helped the company. Ideally this should be someone who is familiar with the recipient and his or her contributions.
- Ensure that the presenter avoids any off handed humour or unfavourable comments. The presenter should describe the awards and/or gifts significance and emphasize the company’s appreciation.
- Give others the opportunity to make a few comments. This may be colleagues who would like to make a few remarks in support of the recipients (not a “roast” type format).
- A presentation always works best when it is conducted in front of their peers and colleagues. This can be either a company ceremony (Annual Meeting) or simply a department gathering but make sure other colleagues are there to enjoy the moment as well.
- Take pictures and publish the photos in a company newsletter or post on the company bulletin board.
- Complete the presentation by saying a heartfelt “Thank You” to all of the recipients and the other people in attendance.
