All too many times it is forgotten how important it can be to recognize our employees and their contributions to our organizations. Whether the contribution constitutes as an anniversary or growth at a company, it should be recognized and rewarded. My company, for example, offers lots of great rewards for employees at the start, duration and end of their time with our company. We also offer incentives for employees who show professional growth. These are very positive and motivational for our employees. Showing your appreciation for these individuals not only brings up company ethic but also boosts a shared corporate culture.

I posted on it a while back ( http://tinyurl.com/ndasrw ) I think the concept of rewarding time is a fading concept and we should be looking at rewarding and validating growth within the organization. For most of the upcoming leadership in an organization - time in the saddle is seen as a negative not a positive. If you've been with the company or more accurately, with the company in the same position for a while you're a dinosaur. As with everything since the internet started getting ingrained in our lives - time is speeding up - service anniversaries need to be rethought - I think.
