An effective\u202femployee value proposition\u202f(EVP)<\/a>\u202fengages and delivers inspirational experiences throughout an employee\u2019s entire career, from the excitement of receiving a job offer and that first day agenda to daily wins and major accomplishments for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspirational experiences that are very much a part of an EVP are also exceptionally important when it comes to recognising\u202fservice milestones<\/a>. Known as your\u202femployee\u202fservice value proposition<\/strong>, it is the focus you put on making each milestone memorable for your employees with thoughtful\u202frecognition<\/a>\u202fand meaningful engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 51% of employees have been in their current job between 1 and 9 years. Leading companies are realising the need to amplify their\u202fservice awards programs<\/a>\u202fbeyond traditional milestones to retain employees and keep them engaged, inspired, and connected to their company culture. Here are four milestones to consider including:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1st day welcome:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

More and more companies have added\u202fonboarding gifts<\/strong>\u202fto their service awards programs. This can include a custom card and branded gift to set the tone and reinforce to new hires they made the right choice to join the organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short service celebrations:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

27% of employers give recognition for\u202f1 and 3-year anniversaries<\/strong>. Many companies are celebrating these milestones with a thank you message and a branded gift or a charitable donation on behalf of the employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

90% of companies recognise recipients at these important anniversaries.\u202fMake them even more meaningful by letting employees select a lifestyle gift\u202f<\/strong>that\u2019s just right for them. Pairing a celebratory message with a gift of their choosing will increase their desire to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retirement recognition:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
