Goodwill Industries of San Antonio Recognize Employees with Custom Award Lapel Pins

Published on December 7, 2011 in Custom Lapel Pins. Closed Tags: , , , .

Goodwill Industries of San Antonio Texas commissioned All About Pins to create a special series of lapel pins that hold employees in high regard in the workplace.  The lapel pins are colored fish that correspond to a certain act that would be given to the recipient who makes a noticeable effort to incorporate these practices into their customer interactions. Noticeably, the employee recognition award pins are attached to special cardstock too.

From an external point of view, the people interacting with Goodwill of San Antonio would experience a level of support that would make them feel cared about and special. This helps build a company’s reputation in a community and propels them into success. Workplaces that reward their employees for good deeds are statistically more capable to care for their customers as well.

Internally, employees present themselves in an optimal way and are better at serving the community, representing the organization, and improving themselves. This helps build trust within the business, reduces turnover, increases profits and efficiency, and eliminates accidents. Employees that feel appreciated are more likely to stay with a company for extended periods of time. This helps cut back on overhead cost by eliminating the need to train new employees.

The fish pins we created for the subject of this blog motivate workers to be the best. Employees are encouraged to “Make Their Day,” “Be There,” “Play,” and have a good “Attitude”. Each piece of custom cardstock contains more about each principle being promoted on the pins. This helps keep Goodwill Industries’ workers focused and informed about the company’s expectations of them.

The TSA Commissioned Us to Make a Lapel Pin for First 500 Employees

Published on November 23, 2011 in Custom Lapel Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , .

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) consists of 50,000 security officers, inspectors, directors, air marshals and managers who protect the nation’s transportation systems. Employees conduct a number of travel-related tasks.  In fact, it isn’t unusual to see them looking for bombs at checkpoints in airports, inspecting rail cars, patrolling subways with law enforcement partners, and working to make all modes of transportation safe.

The TSA commissioned us to make a lapel pin to honor its first 500 employees.  Their tenth year anniversary took place on November 19th.  Custom pins honoring the dedication and commitment of outstanding men and women make it possible for their accomplishments to be displayed each and every day that they are on the job.

Retain Employees with Employee Recognition Awards

Retaining your employees is easily done by recognizing their efforts and time. In return, you have a loyal and motivated employee and you save costs on hiring and training new workers.  This means you can focus your energy on other areas of your company like security, productivity, marketing, and human resources.

Good Employers Produce Excellent Employees

Employees that feel valued by their employer are more likely to go the extra mile each and every workday.  Not only are they more productive and less likely to be sick or absent, they’re also safer.  Fewer accidents on the job mean more profits for your company.

Custom Lapel Pins Have Long Lasting Results

It’s amazing how one little pin can achieve so much good in the workplace.  If you want a unique way to recognize long-term employees in your company, you’ll want to order custom lapel pins for them.  Durable and long lasting, they can be designed in a way that honors, educates, and promotes.  These employees can serve as ambassadors for your brand and company which will help you win over new customers very quickly.

Sheltair Aviation Rewards Employees with Custom Lapel Pins

Published on October 13, 2011 in Custom Lapel Pins. Closed Tags: , , , .

Sheltair Aviation built its reputation on high standards and decades of exceeding its customer’s expectations.  Created in 1963, founder Jerry Holland blended his own personalized touch into his construction company.  The result is a loyal customer base and an exceptional group of employees with lengthy years of service.  Sheltair is very unique as no other aviation entity offers the expertise to design, build, manage, lease, and operate aviation facilities.

Fostering Pride with Employee Recognition Programs in the Workplace

The company contacted us with a special request for custom lapel pins for an employee recognition program they were starting up.  They wanted to recognize the commitment of even their most “green” employees and they decided to silkscreen numbers on the pins to save on mold costs.  This allows for variations in design and years of service with minimal set-up costs.

Silkscreening Allows for Small Variations in Design and Greater Flexibility

Employees with less than 10 years of service are awarded a lapel pin with an airplane flying horizontally.  Employees with more than 10 years of service are awarded lapel pins with an airplane in the “take off” position.  Slightly different designs like the ones mentioned here help identify employees and the years that they served the company.  This is a great way to boost morale throughout the workplace.

Tokens of Appreciation Encourage Employees to Be Their Best At All Times

Lapel pins are a creative way to reward your employees for service to the company.  The time served at a company is something to be proud of and that pride can be worn every day.  This fosters a sense of goodwill throughout the company and encourages workers to be punctual, present, and safe while in the workplace.

Cherry Crest Adventure Farm Offers Quarterly Review Award Lapel Pins

Published on August 24, 2011 in Custom Lapel Pins. Closed Tags: , , , .

Cherry Crest Adventure Farm is a place where children and adults can have fun and learn something about agriculture.  Located in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, it offers over 50 activities for its guests to engage in including a five-acre corn maze.  Without its crew of exceptional employees, operations around the farm wouldn’t run smoothly.  That’s why the owners of Cherry Crest Adventure Farm decided to establish a tiered lapel pin award program to let their staff know where they stand and how their work is perceived come review time.

Employee Recognition Award Programs Boost Morale

Rather than feel stressed out when receiving their evaluations, employees can replace those feelings with a sense of accomplishment.  Those men and women meeting the mark by going above and beyond their job descriptions are awarded a custom lapel pin each quarter.  This allows them to see that their hard work is paying off.  Paired with a paper certificate or greeting card, these tokens of appreciation are money well spent.

Review Time Becomes Something to Look Forward to Not Something to Dread

Having a tiered program with a tangible and wearable award helps motivate others to work even harder to meet their goals.  Rather than see a quarterly review as a bad thing, employees will use it as a tool to pick up the pace, complete tasks more efficiently, and shine in front of their employers.  That way when the next employee evaluation is given, the man or woman gets what he or she deserves–a glowing review and a personal and memorable recognition award lapel pin to wear to work.

Using Creativity to Design Your Employee Incentive Program Pins

Perhaps one of the most rewarding tasks for our customers is coming up with a custom lapel pin design that motivates and simultaneously honors his or her employees.  In the case of Cherry Crest Adventure Farm, a number of different pins were created to represent the tiered recognition program that the company established.  This allows the best employees to shine and encourages their peers to do the same in anticipation of the next quarter.

From the pictured featured in the blog you can see two different pins represented.  The first, gold plated with a star and text that reads, “Outstanding Employee A+” is the highest award an employee can receive.  The second pin is silver plated and reads, “Exceptional Employee A” is the next highest honor given out by Cherry Crest Adventure Farm.  Having more than one award to hand out to employees helps build trust as well as a sense of anticipation come review time.  Each and every member of the staff will be eligible to receive a pin based on his or her performance.

Custom lapel pins are highly regarded because they are seen as a welcome gift.  If you want a quick way to improve efficiency, decrease the number of incidents of absences and accidents, and create a staff of long-term employees, you may want to partner up with All About Pins and have your own quarterly or annual review award lapel pins created.  Give us a call at 1-866-604-9462 toll-free or email info@allaboutpins.com today to discuss your ideas with us.

Hanging Bars for Your Years of Service Lapel Pins

Published on July 12, 2011 in Custom Lapel Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , .

St. Croix Casino needed an efficient way to award their employees and they decided that handing out years of service recognition award pins each year was the answer.  Instead of creating a new pin each year, they decided to stick with one design that included the casino’s logo.  They then created a large assortment of rockers that represented the different lengths of service.Once each milestone was accomplished and the employee made it to their anniversary, they handed in their old rocker and was given a new rocker to slide onto their pin.  This allowed everyone in the workplace to see what type of commitment they had made to their employer and customers.

Rockers Are Great For Employees and Volunteers

Rockers do not have to be made for just years of service lapel pins.  They can be customized for volunteers.  These recognition items can show how many hours each man or woman has contributed to the charity.  They can also be handed out to emergency medical personnel to award them for the different runs that they have participated in.

Different Fonts and Colors Make Pins Stand Out

Just like the lapel pin itself, rockers can be custom made by using different colors, fonts, and shapes.  This helps accentuate the appearance of the lapel pin and differentiate between the levels of achievement and service.  Small details like these make all the difference when it comes to custom lapel pins.

When it comes to custom lapel pins, we know how to make yours stand out.  Whether it’s through the design itself or the rocker that we create to attach to the base pin, one thing is certain.  Your business or organization will impress each person that you give the pins to.  This ensures that you have happier employees and volunteers and that they will be with you for a really long time.

Leave the designing to us.  Simply let us know your vision for your pins and rockers and we’ll get to work creating an appealing look for both of them.  Visit http://www.allaboutpins.com/artwork-gallery.html for inspiration.  You can also email info@allaboutpins.com or call 1-866-604-9462.

IATA Headquarters Has Custom Lapel Pins Made For Its Employees and Award Recipients

Published on April 1, 2011 in All About Pins and Custom Challenge Coins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , , , .

Founded in Havana, Cuba in April 1945, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has expanded to over 125 countries globally and consists of 230 airlines that make up 93% of international air traffic.  With the over 1.6 billion passengers that it makes happy, the 66 year old organization is obviously doing something right, something that we are sure is a trickle down effect from its head office.

Success Starts at the Top

With “creating a modern interdependent world” being the organization’s goal since its inception, having dedicated and committed staff is no doubt the secret of its success.  All About Pins was contracted by IATA headquarters, in Montreal, Canada, to create employee lapel pins for the entire office staff.

Simple Designs Send an Important Message

Having a simple, polished and professional look, is exactly what one would expect from an industry leader.  IATA’s commitment to ensuring that the airline industry thrives is very obvious in its lapel pin design.  Using nothing but the organizations official logo shows that it is focused solely on its goal. The eye catching and high polished silver finish ensures that its high profile employees will get noticed.

Company Logos Add Value and Consistency

Though company or  logo lapel pins are somewhat generic, they provide a wide range of flexibility when it comes to identifying employees in social and business settings.  For example, with the large number of organizations that attend national and regional conferences, logo pins are a small yet effective way to differentiate one company and its employees from another.  In addition, organizations that do not require their staff to wear uniforms or follow a dress code can benefit from utilizing company lapel pins because of the way to make any outfit, casual or conservative, more uniform like.

An additional benefit of designing staff pins in this way is that they can be used for more than just standard employee dress. Though IATA also had us create additional pin designs for different levels of achievement, the custom lapel pin shown here could also serve as employee recognition or award lapel pin.

Have you been trying to figure out a way to dress up or recognize your employees?  If so, All About Pins has the answer. Contact us at info@allaboutpins.com or by calling 1-866-604-9462 to submit your request.

Popeye’s Restaurant Managers To Receive Custom Award Lapel Pins

Published on March 22, 2011 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , , , , .

When it comes to legendary, flavorful, and extra crispy fried chicken, there are few, in any, restaurants that can compete with Popeye’s.  The well-known Louisiana based franchise, originally named “Chicken on the Run”, began in the suburb of Arabi, New Orleans in 1972. In its first decade, Popeye’s opened 500 restaurants with its first franchise located in Baton Rouge.  It went global in 1984. Now, a long 37 years later with over 1,000 restaurant location and numerous customer service awards, the famous Louisiana Kitchen chain is awarding its outstanding managers with custom award lapel pins.

Getting a Wing Up on the Competition

With the fast food restaurant industry having such a competitive market, it is only natural to assume that, in order to stay in the competition, an organization’s employees must be fully committed to driving the business.  Well, that is what the Popeye’s President’s Award lapel pin is all about.

Recipients of this appetizing employee recognition pin are Popeye’s restaurant managers. However, only those whose assigned location’s exceeded company expectations in regard to their levels of sales and performance were awarded.

Awarding Winning Staff Deserve High Praises

Examining the award pin above, the first thing one sees is the large, attention demanding and orange colored letter “P” in the middle of the pin.  For those who may not be familiar with the famous Popeye’s logo, the words Louisiana Kitchen surround it the flamboyant initial.  No one will be left wondering what these pins represent because an affirmation of the “President’s Award” is stated clearly at the bottom.

Popeye’s recognizes, just as All About Pins does and often shares, the fact that appreciated employees are happy ones; and it’s having happy employees that make a business successful.  Anyone who still does not believe this, we encourage you to take the lapel pin challenge.

All About Pins dares you to see for yourself the difference that recognizing and awarding your employees will make.  Contact one of our representatives at 1-866-604-9462 or info@allaboutpins.com to start your order.  We will even include a free digital proof, price quote and domestic shipping if you place your order today.

Rewarding the HR Department of Walmart with Custom Lapel Pins

Published on December 16, 2010 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , .

Walmart is thriving despite the struggling economy.  Recently the corporate giant contacted All About Pins with a request for their Human Resources Department.  They want to reward these talented employees for exceeding their goals regarding new hires.

We were able to do just that by creating three different lapel pins for them.  Each pin had its own different colored crystals to signify the level of achievement accomplished.  Elements like these add something special to the lapel pins which make their recipients proud to wear them on a day-to-day basis.

Goal Specific Accomplishments

Custom lapel pins are great for rewarding goal specific achievements.  Walmart wanted a memorable way to acknowledge employees with 100, 200, and 300 new hires.  They could easily alter the appearance by adding different text and gemstones to three different pins and have something to present to everyone in the HR Department that exceeded expectations.

Boosting Morale with Incentives

Walmart created their lapel pins with a couple of objectives in mind.  First, they wanted to show the public their contribution to creating job growth by clearing noting the number of new hires each HR employee recruited and trained.  They also want to encourage employees and boost their morale by recognizing the goals that were being met by different parts of the company.  This worked out to be a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Meeting and Exceeding Expectations

Walmart is a company with high standards.  That is why they felt like it was beneficial to recognize the men and women in the Human Resources Department that helped them to achieve their hiring goals.  Custom lapel pins are great motivational tools.  Employees can wear their award on a nametag or lanyard where everyone can see it.  This works out well for businesses of all sizes because it reflects high company standards and demonstrates the talents of men and women of all ages.
