“Anniversaries DO matter.”
We often take for granted that organizational longevity equals success. But how is that success defined? There are as many definitions of success as there are employees in your company. It may be one singular contribution to the top line, a series of actions benefiting the bottom line, or even small, ongoing sacrifices that helped the team. The power of a Length of Service program is that it recognizes all of these equally by focusing on the importance of an employee’s loyalty to the organization, whether that employee is in year 5 or 30. A meaningful Length of Service program is built on many of the same values as an Onboarding program. Employees want to be recognized for their contributions. They want to feel appreciated.
“The average cost of a new hire is 50-200% of the position’s salary; and up to 250% for managerial and sales positions.”
- Susan Tolle, Senior Vice President of Talent
TharpeRobbins’ Length of Service program is an opportunity to reward loyalty and recognize achievement. When an employment anniversary award is managed effectively, with the right product and a meaningful presentation experience, the award becomes an integral part of the overall effort to enhance employee engagement. Rewarding loyalty through a formal, centralized program is not only the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do:
- Higher employee retention drives organizational learning, customer satisfaction, and product/service quality.
- Lower turnover translates directly into revenue growth, cost savings and higher profitability.
- Valued employees feel that they are important, thereby helping with future recruitment.
- Managers typically spend over $100 on items that do not maximize value or support corporate messages.
- Companies want to centralize employee gift expenditures to better manage costs and improve effectiveness.
- Tax and governance regulations make it crucial to track spending of employee gifts.
