Every year hundreds of workers across the country will hit long new service milestones, showing unwavering loyalty to their companies and jobs whether it’s been 5 years or 20 years. They deserve to be rewarded, and that’s where we come in.
It’s more important than ever that HR and business leaders ensure their teams feel appreciated and valued in the workplace, especially in regard to individuals displaying loyalty to the company. The longer an employee has worked for a company, the more effort that individual has shown and therefore the bigger the returning reward should be. At the same time, shorter stints such as one year milestones should equally be celebrated, especially during the ongoing pandemic. Research has shown that long service award schemes are instrumental in reducing staff turnover by a whopping 20%.
In addition, memories say more than cash ever can and that’s why employees prefer physical experiences over monetary rewards. The simple act of acknowledging long service boosts team morale and promotes a feeling of positivity within the workplace. We’re here to offer a variety of ways that HR and business leaders can celebrate and acknowledge employees’ loyal service.
