Engraved Plaques and Power of Recognition

"The highest reward that God gives us for good work is the ability to do better." ~Elbert Hubbard

Think of  groups, organizations or specific person whom you'd like to award with customized or DIY (Design- It-Yourself) engraved plaques. Whose name pops to your mind first? Your mom or dad? Is it your passion-driven generous boss or the enthusiastic and down-to-earth church pastor? Your hardworking and understanding wife or husband maybe? Or perhaps the brave volunteer fire fighters in your area? It could be any group or somebody who has truly inspired you with their sincere endeavors. I already have a list in mind---and it's a long one:)

According to a recent *Globoforce survey, “Sixty-nine percent say they would work harder if they felt their efforts were better recognized. And seventy-eight percent said being recognized motivates them in their job.”
