What to say on Retirement Plaques?

Post Date: January 03, 2020

It can be difficult to come up with what to say on your retiree’s retirement plaque. Coming up with the wording, figuring out how to recognize them- these can both drain your creative juices very fast. Here at Martin Awards, we’re aware that time is money. So to help you save time, and thus saving money, we decided to write a blog post with all the resources you need in one place to accomplish this!

Regardless of what career or field your business is in, we can help you find the best possible wording and format that will suit your employee. Remember, this is a plaque that will likely hang or be displayed somewhere in their home. Therefore, you wouldn’t want your business to get a reputation for sending off their retirees with sloppily worded retirement plaques with very little sentiment to them.

Another great resource would be How to plan for Retirement with these 10 lessons.
