Service award programs are meant to celebrate success, relationships, and promote recognition. However, some programs lack excitement and others may not be loved by the ones that participate in them. If your current years of service program is not engaging your employees, it’s time for a program upgrade. Discover how you can improve your years of service program from the traditional off the rack approach.
What are Years of Service Awards?
Years of service is commonly described as the working experience within an employee’s profession, however years of service programs should look beyond tenure alone. Instead of just promoting an employee anniversary with an obligatory gift, years of service programs and awards aim to appreciate employees for their talent, their value, and their accomplishments and successes throughout their career.
Benefits of a Years of Service Program
Years of service programs are essential for attracting and retaining employees that make a difference. Employees no longer just want good pay and benefits, they also want to be treated fairly and feel they are making a substantial contribution to the organization. Forty percent of employed Americans say they'd put more energy into their work if they were recognized more often. By utilizing our People Are Everything™ platform, you can combine years of service and workplace recognition to create a well-rounded engagement program.
