Recognition and awards
Recognition and awards are acknowledgments of an individual's or group's achievements, efforts, or contributions. They serve as official signs of appreciation, highlighting excellence, dedication, or success in a particular area. Recognition can be informal, like a thank-you note, or formal, such as certificates or trophies. Awards typically involve a structured process, often with criteria and judging, to honor outstanding performance. Both aim to motivate, boost morale, and validate hard work, reinforcing positive behavior and inspiring continued excellence.
