Why Challenge Coins Are Perfect For Your Business

Everywhere you find challenge coins, it’s easy to see how well they work as conversation starters.

The stories used to craft the design make each coin special, which is why so many companies use them to elevate their brand, impress clients, and award employees. We’ve made all kinds of coins used to promote important programs, but for Safety Solutions, LLC, they wanted to take it a step further by creating a whole series of coins to reward excellence and safety in the workplace.

Rewarding Excellence and Promoting Safety

Safety Solutions, LLC is a one-stop shop for oil field safety equipment and training. Their team members deal with oil drilling, fire extinguisher services, medical evaluations, and other vital safety training. The high stakes environment in which they work requires careful attention to detail and an abundance of caution.

That’s why they made it a priority to create a program to recognize the people on their team who are setting the example and going above and beyond. The company’s core values - Passion, Teamwork, Urgency, Safety, and Integrity - are all represented in a series of challenge coins embossed with the Safety Solutions, LLC logo.

When managers see a team member display one of the core values out in the field, they’re encouraged to award that employee with a coin. It’s a simple but effective way to remind everyone of the importance of each value, the impact individuals can have on creating a positive environment, and the appreciation the company has for their team members.

How to Represent Your Business Core Values With Challenge Coins

Your core values are integral to your business success, so the coins used to celebrate those values should be designed to tell a story and distributed with a clear goal in mind.

For Safety Solutions, LLC, the goal was not only to highlight their core values, but to award employees who are setting the example by going above and beyond. Each core value has its own bespoke design, differentiating the coins and emphasizing the importance behind each one. Creating a series of coins also encourages recipients to pursue a full collection. So the more coins handed out, the more employees will strive to embody each core value to earn a coin!

If you want to create a similar recognition program for your own business, the first step is gathering all your core values and consider ways of making a bespoke design for each one. The theming of the Safety Solutions, LLC coins uses the company’s brand colors of red and black, and each design coordinates with the assigned core value. A hard hat design was used for safety, a pair of scales to represent integrity, and a rushing clock for urgency.
