Modernizing Your Service Award Strategy


In today’s evolving workplace, there’s an opportunity for traditional service award programs to reinvent themselves. As work cultures shift, particularly in the wake of hybrid models, employee expectations around recognition have changed. With the majority of the U.S. population using social media to stay connected and informed, it stands to reason that work anniversaries and years of service recognition should include a social element to better resonate with today’s workforce.

Modern employees crave meaningful, timely, personalized acknowledgment that reflects their career progression and values. Incorporating social recognition, whether through one-on-one or more community-oriented messaging, can create a more engaging and relevant experience that aligns with the evolving needs of employees.


Learn some best practices around modernizing your service award program.

Strategy + Technology

Companies continually invest in technology and software – that’s not a surprise. Clearly companies invest in software and recognize the importance of engaging employees. But why spend money on something if you don’t have a roadmap for how to use it? Why buy software or technology without a strategy behind it to maximize its potential?

It’s not about strategy OR technology. It’s both. It’s about leveraging technology, not relying solely on it. You need strategy, you need technology, and you need a business partner who understands how to use these together to build a comprehensive recognition approach.


Learn how to integrate strategy and technology to improve your recognition approach!

Keeping Recognition Human

AI, Predictive Analytics, and Human Intelligence.

AI (artificial intelligence) has effectively permeated our lives – and it’s the latest buzzword in business articles today. Simply put, AI is the science of making machines think like humans. The technology can process large amounts of data and do things like recognize patterns, make decisions, and judge like humans. Additionally, there’s predictive analytics, which is using data to predict future trends and events. We connect the two because AI can “do” predictive analytics by collecting, organizing, and analyzing data quickly.

Learn how you can effectively use these technologies to enhance your recognition strategy!

Back To The Basics

Back to the Basics: Recognition, Appreciation, and Employee Engagement

Recognition and appreciation should be the foundation of your employee engagement strategy and at this moment in time, it should be at the top of every CEO’s priority list.

According to Gallup’s most recent survey published in January of 2023, “employee engagement in the U.S. saw its first annual decline in a decade — dropping from 36% engaged employees in 2020 to 34% in 2021. This pattern continued into 2022, as only 32% of full- and part-time employees working for organizations are now engaged, while 18% are actively disengaged.”1  What does this tell us? It tells us it’s time for change and time to step up your recognition efforts… so your company doesn’t become a statistic.

So how do you start? What do you need to be successful? Click here to learn how to get back to basics with five easy steps.

The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

Now is the most wonderful time of the year… to show appreciation!

Ahhh, the end of the year – Q4, the home sprint, time to take a breath. There’s a natural cheer in the air and uplifted spirits with feelings of progress. For many employees, the end of the year is synonymous with holidays and a time for reflection, giving, and sharing thanks across all areas of their lives – at home and at work. For others, the holidays may be difficult; employees may feel added pressure to close sales, wrap up inventories, use budgets, and some may be faced with the general anxiety that the holiday season may bring.

In either case, now is the perfect time to pause and share appreciation with your teammates. The closing of the year gives us the opportunity to celebrate accomplishments, recognize individual and team successes, offer special thanks, and inspire motivation for the new year.

Check out some tips for ensuring your employees know they are valued, showing them you care and inspiring them for an amazing 2022!
