Coffee Buddy Award
This Award winner can have coffee in the morning, afternoon and night. Check them at the coffee station whenever they are not at their desk. Some are so good that they can tell you almost anything about coffee.
Lateness Is A Sin Award
For these employees, coming late to work or any meeting is taboo. You will likely find them minutes early and can count on them if you need something done at the office early.
The Toolbox Award
Some employers are exceptionally gifted when it comes to repairing things. Even though they may work in the accounting department or any other unrelated department, they are the go-to person to fix things.
Be it broken chairs, a faulty microwave, an unresponsive computer or the TV acting up, they will always find a solution.
Walking Encyclopedia Award
Consider this award for employees who have in-depth knowledge about almost anything. They have the answer for everything.
These employees are usually instrumental during the brainstorming and drafting a project plan. They usually offer their recommendation based on the understanding of different influencing factors.
Empty Desk/Invisible Man Award
You have to be lucky to catch these people at their desks. They are always away for one reason or the other.
They are seen one minute; in another, they are gone. This makes them very hard to locate whenever you need them.
Grammar Police Award
You need to double-check your grammar before speaking when around these people. They make it their responsibility to correct everyone’s grammar blunders, whether written or spoken.
The Chatbot Award
This Award is for staff that would do better than an AI-powered chatbot. They have the perfect emoji and gif response to almost every conversation.
They are usually the life of the company’s chat group.
Office Calendar Award
Many workers require a daily reminder to attend all virtual meetings. This is not the case for employees that deserve this award.
They know everyone’s birthday, wedding anniversary, and even employment date.
If they go out of their way to get cakes or gifts for the occasion, you can make it fun and appreciative by tagging it Parent Award.
Gastronomy Award
This award can be presented to employee that does not joke with their food. You decide if to make it funny or serious. If funny, you may only consider the employee that loves to eat most.

Present this award to a staff that can translate or speaks at least three languages.
Angry Bird Award/Stop Shouting Award
