About this template
Here is a playful way to recognise the people who keep a team going: the Gold Ribbon Tidiest Desk Award, a template that suits office teams that like a laugh. Ranchers sets the title and Lexend carries the details, with a ribbon giving the page its character.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Employee of the Month, [Month Year]: [Name], for [Reason]. Thank you for raising the bar.
For [Name], who turned a busy month into our best one yet. With thanks from [Manager] and the team.
Presented to [Name] in recognition of outstanding performance and teamwork during [Quarter].
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the cable ties deployed and crumbs ever found fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. Colours are yours to change: try Oak & Ink, or match your own brand colours. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Reem Kufi.
Printing tips
A smooth, bright white card stock (about 65–80 lb cover) gives the cleanest finish. Print one copy on plain paper first to check the spelling and the margins. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
