3/25/25 Tip Tuesday – Personalizing Service Awards

While traditional service awards have their place, let's elevate them! To truly make employees feel valued for their dedication, personalization is key.

Instead of generic gifts or plaques, tailor service awards to individual employee preferences. This shows you see them as more than just a number.

• Gather Information: Involve managers to learn about employees' interests and hobbies.
• Offer Choice: Provide options for employees to select a reward that resonates with them. (Awardco's partnership with Amazon Business can help with this!)
• Add a Personal Touch: Include a handwritten note or involve the employee's team in the celebration.

Why It Matters:

• Increases feelings of appreciation and value.
• Demonstrates that the company is attentive to individual needs.
• Creates a more meaningful and memorable experience.
