Corporate Awards Banquet

When you are running a company, it is important that your employees feel recognized and appreciated for their hard work and for the unique qualities that they bring to the table. Not feeling appreciated can make people feel less motivated to be productive and they might even feel tempted to find another company. While it is always nice to hand out an award for the Employee of the Month, it can also be really nice to throw a corporate awards banquet for your company and your employees.

An awards banquet will really give everyone a chance to dress up and feel special. Your banquet and awards ceremony should ideally include a master of ceremonies, a variety of awards, and good food to eat. In order to plan the perfect awards banquet, you will have to pay attention to a lot of details.

First, you will need to pick a date and venue. Ideally the venue should not be too far from the area in which your employees work and live. Since it is an awards banquet, you can try to rent a space that has a stage or you can rent out a venue that has enough space for a stage. If the venue does not have a stage, you can have one put in by a rental company.

For the banquet part of the event, you will also need tables, chairs, and linens, Just Right Catering can supply your banquet with all the accessories. If you really want to, you can even set a theme for the banquet. A Hollywood or red carpet theme might get people really excited to wear their best suits and dresses. You might even want to have place cards made for the guests who are attending. Don’t forget to send out invitations in a timely manner. If there is a dress code, do not forget to mention it.

You will also want to keep your employees entertained. Before you give out the awards, you can have live entertainment in the form of a comedian or musical artists. Depending on your budget, you might be able to afford a celebrity or you can even hire someone local who is still talented.

As for the awards, there are many possible kinds of awards to choose from. A leadership award, employee of the year, perfect attendance, best in sales, and rookie of the year award are always great ideas for any company. If someone is retiring, then you can give them a legacy award. If the budget allows for it, then you should throw in additional prizes for your award recipients. They can be anything from gift baskets and gift cards to vacation getaways. You can even send each guest home with adult favor bags that are full of fun trinkets like chocolate, travel mugs, keychains, and mugs with the company name.
