Service is more than just time.
Employees bring more than tenure; they contribute skills, support, training, achievements, and leadership. When we recognise 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 recognise each year of commitment, celebrate key milestones, and acknowledge growth, you reinforce loyalty, motivation, and a connection to the organisation.
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 programmes 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 organisation. 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 programmes
Transform how people perceive and connect with your culture in a positive way. We study human behaviours, understand what motivates and matters, and then apply those theories to our solutions, recommendations, awards, and technology.
