On the Spot Recognition
Recognizing employees doesn't have to wait for once a year. Taking the time to recognize someone "on the spot" can make a huge difference in employee engagement and appreciation. One great way to send appreciation is through our all new CARDGrams! Send an instant email of thanks or congratulations.
Milestone Recognition
Staff are recognized twice a year for reaching their service anniversary, which begins at 10 years of service and continues every five years after that.
