Employee service awards have become a staple recognition offering. With almost 90% of organizations presenting rewards to employees on their work anniversaries, these rewards are often a cornerstone of any employee recognition program. Showing special appreciation for employees during these milestones helps boost employee engagement, productivity, and profits.
However, some companies can fall into a trap when it comes to service awards meaning they offer bland certificates addressed to valued employee or gift catalogs comprised solely of collectible vases and golf clubs. Also, there are the sorrowful sojourning tales of waiting for five years between anniversary celebrations something along the lines of I worked at this company for twenty years and all I got was a pen.
