My Service Anniversary Program Has Fallen and It Can’t Get Up!

Many organizations
wonder if their
service award program
is relevant or not.


Often considered
a “tradition”,
service award
programs can be
viewed as
a corporate
dinosaur offering –
lapel pins
charms
pens
watches

Consider these ways to refresh,
revitalize and enhance your program
to make it appealing, fun and relevant
for your employees.


Evaluate your
award choices.

Reach out to your employees and
use surveys or focus groups to discover
what awards appeal to them.

Get Social

Consider a service
award supplier
who can help
integrate internal
and external social
media strategies
into your program.

To brand or
not to brand.
That is the question.

Branding can add considerable
cost to an award without adding
any value. In fact, some
employees may choose NOT
to wear or use the item because
the logo is on it!


Recognize
milestones
at lower
levels

Traditionally service
awards are given at
five year intervals.
Statistics show the
average American
worker stays with
one company for
just over three years.
Not long enough to
even earn the first
five year award!


Upgrade your
technology.

Your platform
also needs to
function on
desktops,
laptops, tablets
and
smart phones.


Your platform should also be able to
provide reports on-demand and deliver
the exact metrics you need, when you
need them.
