Extensive years of service must continue to be rewarded. Showing your appreciation for the display of loyalty an employee gives you needs to remain an important part of your long service awards policy.

Whichever milestones you decide to celebrate, employees should be made to feel valued within your company. The longer the service, the more effort that employee has put in and the bigger the return on your investment in them. Why not show them an ROI of their own with a reward that provides them their choice of places and ways to spend?

Shorter stints of employment shouldn’t go unrewarded. Employees who reach one and two year milestones also ought to be recognised for the effort they’ve given your business during that period. Chances are they’ve made quite the impact. 

Recent Blackhawk Network research² shows that 75% of those who receive appreciation from their employer feel more valued, which we believe makes them more likely to continue putting in the effort (and ultimately stay with you longer!).

Physically presenting a reward to an employee is sure to leave a positive influence. Taking the time to publicly acknowledge their service to your business encourages morale and promotes a feeling of being valued within the company. 

Rewarding via digital channels allows your business a fast, easy method of acknowledging service. You can still publicly announce and celebrate an employees’ milestone, but use a digital reward that promotes a contactless exchange, no postage fees and a smaller carbon footprint.
