About this template
Here is a clean way to recognise the people who keep a team going: the Plum Starry Employee of the Month Certificate, a template that suits managers, HR teams and team leaders. Look closely and you will notice scattered stars and leaves and branches, set off by Manrope lettering in plum. It works just as well as a certificate of appreciation.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Awarded to [Name] for exceptional work in [Month]. Customers noticed, and so did we.
For [Name], who turned a busy month into our best one yet. With thanks from [Manager] and the team.
Employee of the Month, [Month Year]: [Name], for [Reason]. Thank you for raising the bar.
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. The design comes with three colour schemes (Navy & Coral, Teal & Tangerine and Plum & Gold), and every single colour can be changed. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
A smooth, bright white card stock (about 65–80 lb cover) gives the cleanest finish. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
