Recruiting and training a new employee can be a costly affair, so it is important to retain your staff for as long as possible.
Long service awards are no longer regarded as a precursor to retirement and awarded with a gold watch or clock. But instead seen as a standalone, positive aid to staff retention, by recognising long-term loyalty, service and commitment.
When's the best time to implement a long service award scheme?
The average time an employee stays with an organisation is decreasing. As a result long service award schemes have had to evolve to keep pace with changes in working patterns.
Nowadays schemes are starting much lower, with long service often awarded from 5 years, with more regular intervals such as every 5 years thereafter.
How do we ensure our long service awards are memorable?
By giving your employees the opportunity to choose a gift that they truly want and value, you can be sure that the source of their award will be remembered long after receipt of their gift.
Featuring a wide range of gifts and experiences, from the most desirable brands, our points based reward platform, Aspirations, is the ideal solution when implementing a long service award scheme. Available in both catalogue form and online, you can be sure there will be something for everyone from the brands they know and love.
How easy is it to implement a long service award scheme?
Very. Our schemes are simple, flexible and very easy to set up. You decide the amount you wish to spend; we then create the scheme around your budget, ensuring your long service award scheme stays cost-effective, whilst also remaining relevant.
And, for that extra personal touch, you can also brand your scheme to your corporate identity, ensuring your scheme is instantly recognisable.
