Celebrate everyone.
Celebrate every employee milestone with the help of powerful automation that saves you time and eliminates manual mistakes.
Employee Milestones Worth Celebrating
Celebrate good times, come on! Work often feels like, well, work, but there's still plenty to celebrate. While the day-to-day may get mundane, you can mix it up by celebrating meaningful moments.
Modernize your milestones
Award service, not survival.
Does your reward programme include service awards? In the past, employee service awards consisted of a nice watch or a pin after several years of service. We customize the service award experience so that it’s much more memorable.
Instead of just handing over a plaque and saying “thanks for not leaving,” consider celebrating career milestones by curating an experience. Improve your service awards programme by offering tenured employees MemoryBooks (see below) and awarding points they can use to redeem for millions of reward options.
We save you time by automating the process. Our platform sends reminders, compiles recognitions and sends service awards automatically, all while connecting you to THE most extensive reward network (thanks to Amazon Business and our other rewards partners).
Memorybooks
Let's make some memories!
Include all the moments (and people) that matter in your service anniversary programme with digital MemoryBooks. This interactive form of peer-to-peer recognition includes messages and photos that are automatically compiled into a digital book. MemoryBooks remind people of all the value they bring to the team.
All Digital
It's easy to celebrate remote workers. Everyone can contribute no matter where they are in the world, and a reminder is sent automatically to team mates beforehand to contribute, boosting participation without you having to do extra work.
Downloadable
A MemoryBook is something employees will save and cherish. It's easy to look back at all the notes and photos they receive so they can remember all those warm fuzzies.
“I received a link from my company for a service award. One click and I was able to see all of my options. Couldn't be easier to use. A couple more clicks and the gift was on its way. Highly recommend!”
Automation
One less thing to worry about.
Do you have a bunch of employees and not a lot of time? We're here to make your life easier. We can help you set up automation for service anniversaries, birthdays, onboarding and more. You’ll never forget a special occasion.
Forget trying to secretly pass around a birthday card, now you can do everything digitally. Forget hunting down managers to do something for their teammates, instead send an automated email to remind them. Don’t let any reason to celebrate and appreciate your employees fall through the cracks.
Pairing automation with Smart Award Networks takes the headache out of reporting “Qualified Service Anniversary Programmes” to the HM Revenue and Customs, too.
Traditional Service Awards
They're classic for a reason.
If you want classy, branded deliverables for service awards, we do that too. From pins to certificates we can custom make anything you need. Celebrate the way you want with Awardco!
Frequently asked questions
What Are Service Milestones?
Service milestones are essentially work anniversaries, or an employee reaching a certain number of years or months of employment. These milestones are often celebrated with awards or other recognition.
What Are Examples of Years of Service Awards?
Service awards are typically larger or more expensive than your average birthday gift. They’re meant to show employees gratitude for a whole year of effort at the company. But that doesn’t mean there’s one right answer for what awards are best.
The important thing is to provide items and experiences that your employees actually like and want. Thanks to Amazon Business and our other rewards partners, Awardco offers access to the world’s most extensive rewards network.
When Should You Recognize Service Milestones?
It depends on your company culture, but common milestones include 3 months, 1 year, and 3 years of service. Other significant numbers include 5, 10, and 15 years. At Awardco, we use our Lifestyle Spending Account system to offer better rewards each and every year an employee stays with us.
It’s all up to you and your team. Whatever milestones you want to highlight, Awardco will have you covered.
Why Are Service Award Milestones Important?
Service award milestones are a way to say “thank you” to employees for their contributions and show them that their hard work and loyalty are valued.
Recognizing service milestones is an engaging way to boost morale and employee satisfaction. Employees are the folks who keep the engine running, so it’s essential to acknowledge the value they deliver to the company.
Can Employees Choose Their Own Service Award?
Some companies offer employees a choice of awards or recognition. With a rewards and recognition platform like Awardco, organizations can customize their service awards so employees have the power to choose their gifts. This approach creates a positive, simple, and memorable reward experience.
What Best Practices for Providing Service Awards?
Deliver impactful service awards by following these best practices:
Tailor awards: Make sure the reward reflects the employee’s preferences and interests. Gradually offer better rewards for longer tenure, as well.
Celebrate in a timely manner: Recognize milestones promptly to show appreciation.
Be respectful: Choose a celebration style that suits the employee’s comfort level.
Reinforce company culture: Use awards to highlight and promote company values.
Integrate awards: Make service awards part of a comprehensive employee recognition program for year-round motivation.
