The whole recognition program must reflect your corporate values, cultures and preferences of your staff. The program will be more successful if you can pull together a recognition committes representing your employee demographics. Ask your team what they think will work best with their peers. That way you get buy-in from the team. Your employees will feel like it is their program and will look forward to the recognition for a job well done.
