A New Vision for Milestones Reimagining the Service Anniversary Experience

We all think we know what Service Anniversaries are. Our pre-conceived expectations have

put milestones into a box. One with a gold embossed, engraved cover, which rarely gets

opened. Have you ever thought about what milestone awards could be if we lifted that limited

definition and really imagined the possibilities?

Service milestones have become about thanking someone for not quitting. But think about it.

They could be an opportunity to celebrate, inspire, increase satisfaction and happiness, and

strengthen ties among workers in your company.

There is a revolution happening in service anniversaries. Are you prepared for it?

Imagine a whole new approach to milestones…

My anniversary was a moment for me to stop

and reevaluate my job and career and the

relationships I’ve built here. If I were offered

my job again today, I’d accept it. My milestone

experience made me recommit to my company.

Milestones can renew your contract with your employees.

I’D ACCEPT THE JOB ALL OVER AGAIN.

I LOVE YOU GUYS.

When my coworkers came together to share

my milestone-experience, I realized that my life

would be a lot less rich without them. I spend

half of my life here. It’s a great feeling to know

that you really belong.

Milestones can be about celebrating your work community.

REAL PRIDE OF WORK.

My work anniversary included a retrospective of

my achievements. I was so amazed and proud

to see all of my recognition accomplishments in

one place. I’ve revisited it a few times now and

even shared it with my family.

Milestones can build an employee’s confidence and pride.

I used my anniversary reward to buy a new

bicycle I’ve had my eye on. Every time I hit the

open road I think about what a great company

I work for. This was the perfect gift for me,

because I chose it.

Milestones can show how much you value a worker as an individual.

MY OWN NIRVANA.

My service award experience helped me to see

exactly how important I am to this community

and the work we do. It was my own ‘It’s a

Wonderful Life’ moment. I suddenly had all this

insight into the real contribution I have made

over the years. It was powerful.

Milestones can create a sense of achievement and meaning.

I’VE MADE A DIFFERENCE.

I didn’t realize how much I’ve put down roots

here. When my co-workers started sharing those

stories, the memories came flooding back and

I got tears in my eyes even as I was laughing.

I could never leave this place.

Milestones can reinforce an employee’s emotional commitment.

THE AMAZING POWER OF MEMORY.

It was so easy to contribute a story to my co-

worker’s Service Timeline. I got a reminder that

helped me to not forget and it was really simple to

put up a message. While I was composing it,

and then reading what others wrote, I got a bit

choked up. I was really reminded me what a

great place this is to work. I can’t wait for my

next milestone.

Milestones can have a huge impact on everyone who reads them.

IT WASN’T EVEN MY ANNIVERSARY.

I’M ON TOP OF THE WORLD.

I got my service award while I was on a project

in Tibet. It was amazing that my co-workers

could reach out from all around the world and

suddenly make me feel surrounded by their

love and appreciation. The power of technology

is amazing.

Milestones can use technology to connect everyone, everywhere.

Service awards have tremendous power to highlight and reinforce the

connections that make our companies strong. Our employees are all part of

a mosaic of commitment, energy and emotion—supporting, inspiring and

driving one another toward success.

The service anniversary should never be a simple pat on the back and thanks

for the past. It should be a moment of reflection and a recommitment for the

future. It should be an acknowledgement that together we have accomplished

much, and together we will go on to accomplish so much more. It should

be an invitation to remain with your company and with your community and

continue that record of success.

How we think about service awards has changed forever.

Are you making the most of yours?

Expand beyond the manager.

Bring together an entire community of colleagues.

Create a rich, memorable, personal experience.

Reflect on the years of valuable contribution.

Offer a meaningful and limitless reward choice.

Automate processes to ensure no one is forgotten.

Integrate into the broader social recognition experience.

INTRODUCING SERVICE TIMELINES FROM GLOBOFORCEService Timelines is not a years of service

award. It is a revolutionary milestone

celebration experience.

By inviting participation from all of

your employees’ work circles, you can

effortlessly assemble a career retrospective

to illuminate the years of contribution

that your employee has dedicated to

your company.

This multimedia experience will remind

your workers of the strong community

they have created together—reinforcing

ties to managers and peers and to

your company vision, mission and

values through shared stories, images

and congratulations.

The milestone anniversary celebration

culminates in a choice of an award

to commemorate the moment—based

not on a catalog, but on what will be

most meaningful for your employee.

infrastructure with advanced analytics,

compliance and support, our technology

will continue to evolve and engage your

workforce—everywhere in the world .
