Award for training participation

I am trying a different approach to getting my firefighters to participate more in training. I am thinking of awarding the firefighter with the most training hours in a year with an award. I want to keep it inexpensive but not "cheap." Has anyone else done this? If so, what award(s) are there? Any comments would be appreciated.

They appreciate them, if I miss something they certainly tell me and I add it to their records. It gives them a sense of accomplishment and I can put a copy on their files so I know exactly what they have done.; ▶ Reply to This
