Running a fashion magazine sounds easy on paper. All you have to do is task your writers with writing about something related to the ongoing trend that is currently the talk of the fashion world. You can edit the piece later on before publishing it. Your readers would enjoy reading anything you have provided them with and that would be all about it. On the face value, that is all to think about. But have you ever stopped for a second and consider just how challenging it would be for your writers at the time to come up with something fresh and new for your readers? In order that something fresh and new can be created, a person needs to have a dynamic mind and ever-growing creativity.

While there are people who seem to have unlimited creativity, it is a struggle to keep everything fresh, all on its own. As an editor, things are much easier for you because your job focuses on fixing and polishing materials to be published. As challenging as that might sound (you need to keep everything in line and perfect for consumption), it all boils down to you having to wait for the raw materials to tweak. Your writers, on the other hand, have to struggle with finding something within the fashion world that does not feel and sound too stale for the mass. One misstep and you may reject their materials, send them back to the drawing board, and this all will put everything in jeopardy because there’s deadline on the horizon.

With everything at stake, it is only logical that you pay a little tribute to your writers, the army that keeps the wheel of the company turning. And if a raise in the paycheck is too farfetched, award plaques could be your go-to option for paying a little respect to your co-workers so that they don’t feel as if their hard work is not recognized by any means.

You may think that plaques and awards are just too tacky. It’s easy to think that no one would be grateful for the plaques they have received. If you think they are not enough to be used as a means of respecting your co-workers, it is all in your head, something you see from your own perspective. As a matter of fact, something as simple as custom awards is quite enough. Well, a raise would be much more preferable, of course, but some recognition made physical through, say, photo plaques would suffice. You can hold a monthly event where you award someone with the title of Employee of the Month and that person granted the title will appreciate seeing his or her name hanged one the wall of fame. See, respecting and appreciating the efforts put forth by your co-workers shouldn’t be an assignment. It should come naturally and plaques are as natural a recognition as it can go. Try ordering some and place their name on the plaques and see the glow on their face.
