Service Anniversary

A meaningful approach to recognition

Celebrating service should go beyond counting years – it should honor impact and embrace the feeling that employees belong and matter.

Service is more than just time.

Employees bring more than tenure; they contribute skills, support, training, achievements, and leadership. When we recognize service, we celebrate the journey, not just the time. We believe every year should be acknowledged and milestones should be celebrated.

Acknowledge every year. Celebrate milestones. Drive engagement.

Every year of service matters. HR leaders play a critical role in fostering a culture of appreciation. When you recognize each year of commitment, celebrate key milestones, and acknowledge growth, you reinforce loyalty, motivation, and a connection to the organization.

Why this matters for HR leaders:

  • Strengthens employee engagement and retention
  • Aligns with Total Rewards strategy
  • Reinforces an employee-first culture
  • Creates meaningful, memorable moments

What makes our Service Anniversary programs different

We transform time-based transactions into moments employees value and remember. We celebrate time and personal impact to create a stronger connection between your employees and your organization. With flexible award options – from curated collections to point-based marketplaces – and global execution, we help you build loyalty and elevate the recognition experience.

Account Support

More than awards and a platform, we provide partnership. A dedicated account team helps your team make informed decisions, and provides ongoing guidance across the globe.

True Global Presence

We have employees in international markets, which allows us to provide localized support, duty-free delivery, and in-country invoicing for tax advantages. Tailor your program to meet regionalized needs while ensuring equitable experiences, compliant disciplines, and broad organizational oversight.

Impactful Programs

Transform how people perceive and connect with your culture in a positive way. We study human behaviors, understand what motivates and matters, and then apply those theories to our solutions, recommendations, awards, and technology.

But that’s not what we’re asking.

    Recognition’s impact on company culture

    When we think about companies with outstanding cultures, we often imagine trendy office spaces with exposed brick walls, open layouts, free drinks, and foosball tables.
