What do you say if you are asked to be a presenter at your corporate awards event?

Make sure you say how glad you are to be there – it is an honor to be a representative at this very important occasion. Say how you’re happy to be part of ‘this wonderful display of talent’. Say that it must have been difficult for so many people to execute such wonderful performances and that actually everyone here was beyond brilliant. You also can add a few inspirational quotes, an anecdote or tell a short story. Telling a story can be quite effective!

Managers must be trained to make great presentations. They need to know who is being recognized and be able to talk about the specific contributions the employee made to the organization. They should focus only on the positive things that happen within the organization. Also, they should not tell “off-color” jokes or make discriminatory remarks.
If an award contains corporate symbolism, managers must be able to explain the symbolism and how it ties into the values and goals of the organization.

Employee Recognition

Corporate Award Organization Tip #1:

Choosing the Awards Ceremony Presenter
The right person needs to make the awards presentation. It does not need to be the highest-level executive nor does he/she need to acknowledge the recipient. The presenter should be the highest-ranking manager who personally knows the employee and his or her accomplishments. This person also needs to be able to use stories and examples to evoke an emotion in the recipient as well as all employees in the organization.
