Years of Service Award Programs

Making Mountains Out of Milestones

Custom Years of Service Programs from QIC

Innovation and Creativity Are Needed to Avoid Unsustainable, Higher Costs for Turnover, Recruitment, and Training

 

Most companies incorporate some form of tenure-based employee recognition into their overall engagement strategy. But now more than ever, employees are willing to change jobs or walk away, and this trend is likely to continue. In response, businesses must innovate and produce creative solutions through a years of service program or risk unsustainable, higher costs when it comes to turnover, recruitment, and training.

Breaking out of the traditional “every 5 years” work anniversary cycle and celebrating career achievement between the organization, employees, and peers will help to keep things fresh. Failure to invest in new recognition strategies can lead to apathy and unnecessary costs. Being proactive is imperative, and QIC has the cutting-edge expertise tailored specifically for the unique demands of today’s business climate. Read on to learn how years of service recognition programs can benefit your business.

About Our Years of Service Recognition Programs

One of the goals of a custom years of service award program is to reward employees for longevity and commitment. Rewarding and celebrating career milestones shows that a company truly appreciates its employees and leaves an indelible impression on the entire workforce. Even if an employee can’t envision staying in one place for decades, recognizing and rewarding career achievement says “thank you” in a tangible and meaningful way, creates positive morale, and promotes teamwork.

We are committed to helping you celebrate, reward, and engage your employees via effective service recognition programs. In a no-cost consultation, we can help you design a meaningful recognition solution that pairs our decades of experience with your company culture and unique situation.

Our team brings the latest in techniques, technology, and services to ensure accessibility and a positive experience for your employees and drive positive business results for your organization. For our custom employee milestone programs, we can provide:

  • A custom approach designed for your specific needs and budget requirements
  • Customized, branded presentation materials
  • Program management through IncenTrac®, our proprietary, cloud-based engagement platform
  • A dedicated account management team and in-house client services team
  • Expert rewards fulfillment featuring thousands of unique lifestyle rewards

Employees will receive a customized, branded service award packet on or around their career milestone date. The award packet includes redemption instructions granting access to your branded redemption website.

The participant is able to browse the reward offerings and make selections from the lifestyle rewards available. Selected rewards are then shipped to the employee’s home.
