Creative Diwali-themed employee recognition award names for retail stores

5 minutes read

Retail stores and retail employees get extremely busy during the Diwali season. To make your retail staff’s work interesting and engaging during this busy season, you can gamify their sales activities.

However, it is this festive season when the true sales rockstars emerge and make your store’s Diwali sales highly successful. As a store manager, it’s your responsibility to provide appropriate recognition and rewards to your top performers. This would make them feel appreciated and happy in their workplace.

Since Diwali season calls for a Diwali touch in everything that we do, here are some creative and quirky employee recognition award names which you can use to make your store staff feel happy about their contributions during the Diwali season:

1. The Diwali Sensation: This award goes to the person who succeeds in selling more units of the Diwali promotional products than her peers

2. Champion of Diwali season: This award goes to the person who has given outstanding performance during the Diwali season

3. The Phuljari: Just like the Phuljari (sparkler) which emits sparkles consistently until the end, the receiver of this award also has consistently worked hard and produced great sales outcomes until the end of the Diwali sale season.
