All great people share certain qualities— commitment, diligence, loyalty. They are the tough people who

remain through the tough times.

They deserve more than a handshake. When you recognize your people,

tell them you’d hire them all over again.

Let them know that they are just as important as the performance.

An effective recognitionstrategy is meaningful

and memorable to boththe presenter and the

recipient—a relationshipmilestone. The most

valuable strategiesinvolve presentations

and awards which leadto enduring returns.

Overall, fewer than one in three North

American workers are fully engaged.*

Gallup research has shown that engaged

employees are more productive, profitable,

safer, create stronger customer relationships,

and stay longer with their company than

less engaged employees. This research

indicates that workplace engagement is

also a powerful factor in catalyzing

“outside-the-box” thinking to improve

management and business processes as

well as customer service.

The power of employee engagement How can having every employee involved and

focused have a positive impact within your

organization and to your bottom line?

Imagine the possibilities when you have

80-90% of your organization focused

and motivated!

At MTM we believe — Recognition…Lifts the Human Spirit®

Excellence thriveswhere it is recognized

*The new report, The State of Employee Engagement 2008, issued by global consultants Blessing White, also found that 19% are completely disengaged, and a further 13% are disillusioned and at risk for becoming disengaged.*Gallup Management Journal Survey of U.S. workers, October, 2006

Meaningful — Consistently reinforcing your

culture through all components of your recognition

strategy from communicating the opportunity, to

the informational website, to the product choices,

and ultimately to the moment of presentation.

Some say we add value, others say we are invaluable.

Memorable — To ensure a motivating influence,

the award itself should be aligned with the values,

goals and priorities that matter most. A good award

reflects a genuine expression of appreciation.

Value-added solutions — State of the art

technology for program integration, budgeting,

and tracking to simplify strategy management.

MTM Recognition is the One Company that offers comprehensive,

meaningful, memorable strategic recognition solutions.

Many companies can provide some of these services and products—one can exceed your expectations for all.

At MTM we believe in Symbolic Recognition. We

create beautifully crafted awards and jewelry items

that embody your organization’s culture and

branding.

Create your own program unique to your mission,

vision, values and goals highlighting your heritage

and tradition. Your recognition award choices

convey who you are to your employees and

Reinforce your culture with unique symbols of recognition

> McDonald’s Owners and Operators enjoy promoting their brand through unique designed karated jewelry, created by our in-house design staff and jewelry craftsmen.

What does your recognition program say about your company?

Symbolic awards are designed to create an

heirloom or elite status for their recipients

and the company they represent. These

awards typically symbolize leadership, excel-

lence or years of dedicated service. They com-

memorate an event or milestone and embody

a company’s heartfelt appreciation—a truly

unique,timelessandpersonalgiftthatwillbe

treasured for a lifetime.

MTM looks forward to working with com-

panies of all sizes to leverage our creativity,

experience, design, technology, and manu-

facturing capabilities to transform an awards

program into a powerful vehicle for employee

engagement.

Symbolic recognition, when complemented with significant and timely milestones, can reinforce an overall corporate communication strategy that helps to align individuals to your organization’s goals.

“I want each jewelry collection to be as exciting to each individual as if he/she hand-picked it. When I create a theme for each jewelry collection, I get inspiration from the company’s message, products or logo.”

–Denny Elliott, Lead Designer

“The NCAA was looking for suppliers that could

design and administer our championship awards

program and didn’t think we could find one

company to do what was required. We conducted

a site visit of MTM. I was impressed with their lean

processes, the cleanliness and order within their

facility and their commitment to lean manufactur-

ing. We made the right decision in choosing MTM

as NCAA’s Official Championship Awards

Supplier.”

—Michael King, NCAA, Director of Operations

We know first-hand how important recognition

is to the success of any organization. With

more than five million people participating

in our programs, we know what works.

We create program solutions that celebrate

achievement, reward performance and

honor years of service.

Our goal is to exceed expectations, do the

jobwellandaddvaluetotheworkplace. “Recognition is most appreciated and effective when it is individualized, specific, and deserved. . . Generic, one-size-fits-all awards don’t work. Neither does recognition that seems forced or false.”

How Full is Your Bucket, Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton, Ph.D.

At MTM our focus is to help people celebrate

achievements. Our team of professionals

design programs and processes that help

develop a corporate culture through pride,

motivation, achievement and loyalty.

“It was a great event. Standing ovation for Larry.

Larry and his wife were completely surprised and

moved to tears at the recognition. All of the drivers and

guests were extremely admiring of the award and

collage. It was a most memorable event and you and

your team really excelled at producing a winning com-

bination of awards! I would definitely say the team’s

efforts were “well received!”

— Elliotte Hill, Foster Farms, Vehicle Safety Department

“Of all of the recognition company vendors I have ever

worked with in 22 years, MTM Recognition is clearly

the best. Employees have commented to me that this

is the best selection and quality we have offered in

some time. We have all of the right ingredients!”

— Ron Scott, SPHR Chicago Title, Human Resources (Part of the Fidelity National Financial family of companies)

Much to our surprise, we received the first batch of

rings for our newest agents that very Monday! The

remainder of the rings arrived Friday morning.

Needless to say, our agents were surprised and thrilled

to receive their rings that afternoon. The best part

was that we were able to reward these agents for their

hard work and dedication by presenting them with

beautiful rings.
