The Service Awards add-on can automatically recognize employee employment anniversaries and onboarding milestones (ex 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, etc) with a pre-written wall post.
Here is an example of how service award recognitions appear on the wall:
Good to know
- Financial or perk rewards can be attached (if available): You configure the reward amount or select up to 3 perks for the recipient to choose from
- Service award recognition posting dates are calculated using the start date stored in employee profiles
- The service award recognition is posted to the wall at 11am in the recipient's time zone
- Managers are given 30 days' advance notice of upcoming service awards, and can be given the option to decline an upcoming award or pre-load a congratulatory message that will post below the recognition on the award date
Note
Once submitted, pre-loaded congratulatory messages cannot be edited
- Colleagues (same manager) can be notified about long service awards
- Service awards can be pinned to the top of the wall for up to 5 days
- Service awards can be printed for handing out at a ceremony or hung in a frame
- The service award will get posted to the wall and Workstars TV along with other recognitions
- Contractors can be prevented from receiving a financial reward with their service award
- Contractors cannot be prevented from receiving a perk reward with their service award
