Medals and Ribbons – In the military, officers have all manner of ribbons, medals, insignia, etc. on their uniforms that tell you what they are, where they have been and what they have done. Even military ships and planes have marking that tell how they have done in battle. Why not do the same things for our employees? Have a recognition symbol for things they have accomplished – big projects they were on, special projects, assignments at other locations. You could do it as an attachment to their employee badge or post it at their office, cubicle, or workstation. This has a dual purpose – first, to publicly recognize the employee for his service, and second, to remember the contributions he has made.
