What are Employee Recognition Challenge Coins?
It has become customary for military leaders such as platoon leaders and company commanders to reward their team members for extraordinary performance. They’ve found that rewarding excellence positively impacts a team’s overall performance and sense of unity. Like many other traditions, employee recognition coins emerged from military veterans transitioning back to civilian life.
As military personnel transition back into civilian life, they often get jobs with corporations or create their own businesses. Here, they lead teams and reward their employees or team members with employee recognition coins. In the military, challenge coins strengthen teams by rewarding individual members and creating a sense of unity. It should come as no surprise then, that the tradition of challenge coins would have a similar positive impact with corporate teams as there are many parallels between the two.

Some Appropriate Occasions for Employee Recognition Challenge Coins:
In the military, soldiers are often awarded a challenge coin for things such as important milestones and going above and beyond the call of duty. It’s very much the same in a corporate environment. Here is a list of typical occasions when employees are awarded with a recognition coin:
- Employee or company anniversaries
- Acquiring a significant business account
- In recognition of a raise or promotion
- Completing a training program
- Acquiring a new skillset
- Completing an important project
- Being recognized as “Employee of the Month”
- Achieving an important sales or production goal
- Going above and beyond
