Service Awards

Milestones Matter

Career milestones play a vital part of the employee experience. They are excellent opportunities for an organization to recognize an employee’s achievements, accomplishments and anniversaries.

70% of U.S. employees are not engaged at work.

Our Philosophy regarding employee engagement is to create a win-win-win outcome. For the employee, a win is defined by a memorable recognition experience as well as feeling that their contributions to the organization are appreciated. For the Manager/Supervisor, a win is having timely notifications of upcoming milestones, training tools and easy presentation tools to make an effective presentation. For the organization, a win is higher levels of employee satisfaction, tenure and employee engagement.

Service Awards are one of the many ways to improve employee experience by using workspace recognition. Online ordering makes it even more effective.

Studies are starting to show that more engagement at the beginning of an employee’s tenure leads to better long-term retention and productivity. Things like onboarding kits can be folded in with recognition efforts to give new hires a more lasting first impression.

Onboarding is the first step

Give them something to remember the day they joined your team. The employee onboarding experience is a way to introduce new hires to your company’s values, culture, and people. Onboarding through recognition, training and socialization gives your new hires the opportunity to learn the lay of the land – feel comfortable in their new role, understand how this role impacts the business and learn what type of behaviors are expected from them.
