Recognition and appreciation are fundamental human needs. Individuals respond to appreciation expressed through recognition of their innovation because it affirms their hard work is valued. When individuals feel their work is valued, their satisfaction and productivity increases and they are motivated to maintain, and very likely improve, the quality of their work as well as their level of contribution to the organization. Be wise… invest in individual contributors to show them you value their work and that they are important to the success of your organization. My passion for and dedication to innovation and technology began when I was in high school, which prompted me to pursue a career in teaching Technology Education at the middle and high school levels. That experience led to continuing my journey in the field of awards, recognition, woodworking and innovation when I owned and operated a wood shop with over a dozen employees. Today, close to 20 years later, providing customers with heirloom quality awards and gifts that communicate appreciation, distinction and elegance is my top priority. You can rely on my expertise and creativity to design awards that you are proud to gift and that your recipients will be honored to display for years to come. Whether you are choosing one of our many beautiful designs or I am working with you to customize an award product that matches your company's existing recognition preferences, you'll be 100% satisfied with our attention to detail, personal customer service care, fair price, and your final recognition product.
