What do awards actually do?

[pseud0]

I've gotten a bunch of awards, but I'm a bit uncertain about their effects.

Two of them are quite straight forward, the last one less so:
- Best Product seem to have the "reduced furniture decay" effect. I'm assuming that means that my furniture decays slower and maintenance have less to do.
- Most Profitable has "reduced dirt". I assume that's good to place in lobby rooms to lower any dirt pulled in by walkins.
- The best designer has the "reduced mental strain". I don't get what this one does. Is it like adding the Capacitor trait effect to the room? Help?

Also, I've yet not won the best employer award. What does that one do? And are there any more that I'm missing?

PS. I'm aware that you can sell them, but I'm keeping mine to gloat.

There are 4 best: product, designer, employer, most profitable product
They each reduce: dirt, bladder, stress, furniture decay
There is a big difference in Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, where Bronze is basically nothing, where Platinum gives full bonus.
Each is engraved for what is awarded, but there is no other difference.
I do not know if the effects stack (it should not), so put each of them in each of rooms, and sell the rest.

Unless I am mistaken the effects decay over time. It looks to me like different trophies give different benefits, but I could be wrong.

So is reduced mental strain equals to reduced stress? Because that would be very useful.

I would assume so, but I've never won that one. My designers have never been good enough to win it. Lol.
