TERRYBERRY SYMBOLIC AWARDS

Recognition Your Employees Can Hold Onto

A bonus gets spent. A Symbolic award gets displayed on a desk, shared on social media, and talked about for years. 

Terryberry’s employee recognition awards are perfect for occasions that matter most, including:

  • Employee service award programs from 1 to 50+ years
  • Career milestone recognition
  • Performance and special achievement awards

Talk with us today to see how symbolic employee awards can help you build a better workspace.

Platform notifications keep recognition visible in the moment, capturing the energy of instant appreciation. A symbolic award doesn't compete with that immediacy; it extends it into recognition they see every day.

Terryberry data shows employees are three times more likely to remember positive workplace experiences when symbolic awards are part of the program—and organizations that incorporate tangible recognition see a 12% boost in employee engagement.

For frontline, deskless, and long-tenured workers—the people least likely to open an app or check a digital feed—a physical award may be the only recognition that truly reaches them.

Terryberry Symbolic Awards are custom-crafted, designed to carry your organization’s values, not just your logo.

  • Custom-designed jewelry, pins, milestone awards, trophies, engraved plaques, and more

  • Employee service award programs covering milestones from one year to 50+ years

  • Retirement and career celebration gifts

  • On-demand branded recognition collections for multi-location and multi-entity organizations

  • President’s Club, Winner’s Circle, performance, and special achievement awards for sales and operations teams

A Symbolic award is tangible. It’s earned, not redeemed. That distinction carries real weight.

A Partner, Not a Vendor

“They’re not trying to upsell me. They’re trying to solve a problem. The biggest word is trust.”

That approach—no upselling, no pushing scope, no program that’s bigger than you need—is what Terryberry clients tell us sets us apart. And the results show up in ways no vendor pitch anticipated.

By being your trusted partner, Terryberry works closely with your team to create a Symbolic Awards Program designed to give employees a recognition experience they’ll remember—proudly displaying their meticulously crafted award and celebrating their achievement with others.
