Collection: Fun Awards for Office Teams

The employee with the most distinguished history with the office deserves a bit of recognition. The Old Timer Award is the award that does that. And well.

Meetings can be fun. Yes, fun... if you are into people-watching. Speaking of which, we’re sure you’ve seen this kind of person in your team. Someone who always has something to add! It is for such a person that we have the One More Thing Award.

Generally speaking, minding your P’s and Q’s is a good thing. This is even more so in an organisation. For the employee with impeccable manners, this is the award. Thank you!

Borrowing a pen can be hazardous. For there will always be someone among us who is prone to walk away with the pen! The Pen Thief Award is for that person (and habit).

People who work together can get close to each other. This is normal. What is not normal are people who get inappropriately close to you. And to the one who does it most often goes this award. And a gentle warning.

You know that workspace. Yes, the same one you can’t take your eyes off, but not bear to look at. Yes, it’s the messy one in your organisation we’re talking about. The Pig Pen Award is for them, the employee who thinks "messy" is the way to be!

Puns and wordplay are the ken of some people more than others. For the person who’s best at this kind of verbal dexterity and humourous salvos, we have the Punny Award.

This award is for the person who is always smiling and lights up the room with their positivity.

Not all new employees hit the ground running. Some do. And for the ones that do it really well, the rookies that turn out to be rock stars right from the get-go, we have the Rookie of the Year Award.

It’s not easy to please one’s boss and the peer group. Some don’t manage this see-saw act so well. But there are those who are masters at it. For the best of these masters, we have the See-saw Award.

The Smart Alec Award is for that colleague who is irritating because they behave as if they know everything.

Who has a quip for every little thing you say to them? The office smart ass, right? Well, the Smart Ass Award is the award to hand out to the employee who kicks ass at being a wise-ass!

To the person whose lunch makes its presence felt from miles away purely because you can smell it way before you have laid eyes on it, and continues to smell for hours after lunchtime, goes this award.

Every office has at least a few luminaries who can’t get enough of social media. The Social Butterfly Award is for that star employee who lives and breathes social media!

Get-togethers happen quite often in offices. Someone or the other has to take the initiative and organise them. To the person who takes the most initiative when it comes to organising group activities at the office goes this award.

The Stepped Out Of Bed Award is crafted for the employee who lives to dress down - to the extent that they seem to have come to office straight from their beds. You know the type.

Snacking while talking. Snacking in meetings. Snacking while walking. Snacking while sitting. Snacking, snacking, snacking all the time. Know someone like this in your organisation or life? This, the Super Snacker Award, is made for such a person.

This person never forgets to wish anyone on their birthday. It's a thing to be admired. It shows the person cares. This award is for such a person.

Caffeine and offices go hand-in-hand. And for the employee who can't take his hands off their caffeine fix we have created The Caffeine Addict Award.

There are some people who love to be provocative and get people hot under the collar. This is the award for them.

For every right wing troll, there's a pseudo secular liberal troll, who is just as uncompromising and aggressive. To such a person goes this award.

Every office has its lurkers, the ones that are there, but not there. To them goes The Lurker Award.

Every office has a person who is super cheerful in the morning never fails to wish everyone 'good morning'. This well-mannered soul deserves this award.

Motivators are needed in the office. Office life can get tiresome. It can get frustrating. It can be demotivating. For the person who is the consummate motivator, we have this award.

Office chat groups get populated with forwards. Some folks forward stuff way more often than others. To them goes this award.

Some folks just don't like to say much. They pretty much only deal in monosyllabic responses. This award is for such folks.

Some of us just love to sing. The Opera Singer Award is to recognize and encourage the most prolific crooner in your office.

No office can survive for long without a peacemaker. This is the award for the person who keeps calm, builds bridges, and strives to keep the peace.

Who is the most prolific doodler and creator of sketches in the office? Yes, you know that person. The Picasso Award is for them.

For every maker of plans, there is a quasher of plans. To this consummate plan breaker goes this award.

Some people just love to and are really good at making plans. This award is for them.

In divided times like ours, there's always someone or the other in the office who's posting bigoted material on the office chat group and aggressively pushing a toxic right wing agenda. This award is for them.
