Hello business operations community, I am looking to gather some input on what you do to recognize employee's when they reach their 5, 10, 15 and 20 year work anniversary dates to ensure that we are in line with industry standards.

Thank you from Visit Eau Claire

Hi Jill. We do recognition in 5-year increments.

Hi Jill,

We have two employees that reached the 20-year mark and one that is about to approach the 10-year mark and one that retired at the 20-year mark. I am meeting with our board to update some of our cultural policies around vacation to address gaps in years of service. For instance our vacation day increments are 1 year = 5, 2 year = 10, 3 year= 12, 4 year=12, 5 year=15, President = 20. We have a big gap between 5 to 20 years of service for vacation rewards. We do the social post for big milestones, a small staff party to recognize the employee's special day for big milestones, I take the employee out on their anniversary (personally I do this) either for lunch or after hour beverage. It gives us time to celebrate and reflect on their accomplishments and goals in sight, our staff signs an anniversary card to recognize each anniversary with positive messages and a small gift card of $25 to a local area restaurant or shop to enjoy. My co-worker loved this bobblehead that I gifted her when she reached 20 years. You can get this produced online easily.
