Everybody likes to be rewarded for their good work — especially in an office setting. If you're looking for a lighthearted way to appreciate your employees, look no further than these 60 silly superlatives.

Awards for the Daily Routine

  1. Coffeepot's Best Friend - This employee can always be found where the coffee is — no matter the time of day. You can print this award on a mug to really commit to the theme.
  2. The Early Bird - Who's always first to the office? Isn't it time they got a little appreciation? Give them an alarm clock as a prize, or gummy worms to go with the early bird theme!
  3. Five More Minutes - This tongue-in-cheek award goes to the coworker who schedules his or her meetings on the hour even though you know they won't be there until at least five minutes after.
  4. The Empty Fridge Award - An award for the coworker who always seems to know when the good snacks are being delivered.
  5. The Honorary Mechanic - For your poor coworker whose car has been in the shop so many times he or she might as well be a mechanic themselves. A golden wrench should ease the pain of all that car trouble.
  6. Gold Medalist - We all have that coworker who exercises during his or her lunch break. They may not be an Olympian, but anyone who can work eight hours AND exercise deserves a gold medal in our book.
  7. Appointment Maker - Somehow, this person always has an appointment — from acupuncture to the veterinarian. Make them a little sign for their desk!
  8. The Private Concert Award - Whether it's eight a.m. or five p.m., this coworker always has headphones on — and you'd better believe they're rocking out, so gift them a music gift card as their prize.
  9. The Empty Desk Award - Whether they're in a meeting or out to lunch, somehow this person never seems to be at his or her desk.
  10. The Order Up Award - For that foodie coworker who's always trying to get you to try that new restaurant down the street. They love trying new food or ordering in for lunch.

Sample Sign Ups

“Our church hosts a huge one-day food packaging event requiring over 700 volunteers. All of them sign up through SignUpGenius, which allows for a streamlined, nearly flawless check-in experience at event time. I run a report at the last minute to show who signed up on what shift at which table and how many people are coming with them. I also run a separate report that shows me where any empty spots are need to be filled in. I don't know how this event could be run without SignUpGenius.”
