Want it or not, coworkers are the people you spend the majority of your time with. (Unless you are an entrepreneur and the 9-5 grind does not apply to you.) Heck, sometimes you know more about your coworkers than you do about your friends! Do you know what your best friend likes to have for lunch? Well, you don't, but you know that Mike from the cubicle on the right loves himself some spaghetti with a sauce he gets from Trader Joe's. And in fact, probably every coworker at your workplace has something distinct only to them. Hence, why not award their peculiarities with funny office awards?
Whether it's a quarterly office party or a lush work event that happens once a year, rewarding your coworkers with a little something, even if it's with funny corporate award titles, will undoubtedly show them that they are a part of the community. And that they are seen! And honestly, once the funny office awards categories are announced, it's a very fun guessing game to speculate to whom these funny award titles will go. The best part is that you can go wild with funny office award ideas; they can be as silly or genuine as you would like. Yet, don't go overboard since some employees can get offended. But for those who can take the joke, go all out with the funny award title ideas!
To help you come up with those, below, we've compiled a list of funny awards for office employees that you can borrow for your own Oscar ceremony at work! Loved any of these funny award names? Give them an upvote! Also, could you be the potential recipient of any of the awards below? Let us know which award your coworkers would likely nominate you for!
