While traditional office awards are tried and true, you may be wanting to spice things up with some relevant, clever superlatives. \u00a0Some consider this year quite the trainwreck, so let&#8217;s bid farewell with these office award ideas- 2016 style.<\/p>\n<h3>The Moderator Award<\/h3>\n<p>Coming to you from the presidential debates, The Moderator Award goes to the person in your organization that easily mediates issues between fellow employees or properly elevates issues so they get fixed.<\/p>\n<h3>Schumer Humor Award<\/h3>\n<p>Amy Schumer had a rockstar year in 2016. If there&#8217;s a funny lady in your office, give them this award.<\/p>\n<h3>The Final Five Award<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wj32RYIx164\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThis award should go to a team (ideally five) of employees that came together, worked hard, and got stuff done. Inspired by the goal medal winning USA gymnastics team, this is quite the honor.<\/p>\n<h3>The Eleven Award<\/h3>\n<p>This award is inspired by the hit show Stranger Things (if you haven&#8217;t seen it, do it!) The Eleven award could be awarded to someone who came from another business and adapted quickly or to someone who sent an evil client back to the underworld.<\/p>\n<h3>The Reboot Award<\/h3>\n<p>Inspired by allll the recent reboots (Fuller House, Gilmore Girls), this should be awarded to someone who was maybe stuck in a rut, but changed their attitude and came out a stellar employee.<\/p>\n<h3>The Mmm Tasty Award<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BK_fQ-XDoBP\/\" target=\"_blank\">@Goodful slays!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls Serves 12 INGREDIENTS 1 cup all-natural peanut butter 1 cup almond flour \u2153 cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract \u00be cup dark chocolate chips PREPARATION 1. In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, almond flour, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture thickens and sticks together. 2. Roll the mixture into balls half an inch in diameter. 3. In a small bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave no more than 15 seconds at a time. 4. Using a spoon or fork, dip the peanut butter balls in the melted chocolate and toss to fully coat. 5. Transfer the balls to a wax or parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate at least one hour. 6. Enjoy! NOTE: For this recipe, be sure to use a no-stir, all-natural peanut butter.\u00a0\u00a0Using a natural peanut butter that separates may cause the ball mixture to be too loose.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A video posted by Tasty (@buzzfeedtasty) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2016-09-30T19:35:32+00:00\">Sep 30, 2016 at 12:35pm PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\nIf you haven&#8217;t been bombarded with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/buzzfeedtasty\/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">delectable Facebook food videos<\/a>, you&#8217;re missing out.
