1. Use a presentation box
Make your service
anniversary lapel pin look like a gift by presenting it to the recipient in a
velvet presentation box. The presentation box makes the pin look its best! The dark velvet material of the box will make your pin shine!
2. Personalize the pin with the recipient’s name.
When you add the recipient’s name to their anniversary lapel pin, you increase the perceived value of the gift. The pin is now exclusive for the individual, and it shows that you put extra effort into making the gift special just for them!
3. Give the recipient a certificate, too.
When you recognize an employee’s anniversary, it’s important to include an item that they can display. Create an
award certificate that thanks the individual for his years of service and display it in a certificate folder that displays the certificate. The additional display item will serve as a lasting reminder of the employees’ accomplishment and your appreciation.
4. Present the pin in front of the team.
To get the most motivation out of your anniversary lapel pin, present the gift in front of the team. This way, the recipient receives congratulations and recognition from more co-workers.
5. Make it a big deal!
A
2010 study conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic found the average employee tenure to be only 4.1 years. That number is certainly a lot smaller than it used to be! If you want to retain employees for 4 years and beyond, honor their first few years of service by making it a big deal. Celebrate employee anniversaries to express your appreciation for their contributions and loyalty. Hold anniversary parties on a quarterly basis to shine the spotlight on employees’ years of service, praise employees in the company newsletter, and present meaningful gifts like anniversary lapel pins!
