On the Edge takes a swipe at Service Anniversary Programs

Here’s a couple of questions for you… "Should we reward employees for loyalty based on the time they spend at a company or on a wider range of criteria?  Have Service Anniversary programs run their course and be replaced with a different reward program tied to a different definition of loyalty?"

Hop over to the Incentive Magazine web site and see my thoughts this month in On The Edge.

A preview:

"Future service anniversary programs should be linked to the growth of the
employee versus the time the employee has been with the company. In other words,
let’s celebrate changes in the employee, not the fact that they didn’t change
companies. Service anniversary programs should be buried and allow its
successors to move into the spotlight."

As the kids say these days… "I’m just sayin’."
