Deep-Rooted Forms of Recognition

Many employees enjoy recognition that not only highlights their accomplishments, but also has some significance beyond the workplace itself. Growing numbers of employees are becoming increasingly passionate about the environment, and you can recognize these employees and their concern for the planet by rewarding them with a tree or trees planted in their names.

This reward is particularly appropriate for employees whose performance also contains an element of social responsibility. For example, for the employee who has done the most volunteer work in the community or has been honored by another civic organization for his or her support, your donation of a tree in his or her name is a very fitting piece of additional recognition.

There are numerous schools, clubs, cities, and parks that have programs in place to receive these donations, and the idea of having a tree planted in an employee’s name is a visual, long-term, and singular reward that recognizes the recipient on many levels.
