Mcdonalds pins value 30th year1/2/2024 There, is always a danger of backlash when putting a monetary value to someone’s loyalty. It’s a great opportunity to recognise hard work and motivate and engage your team. Lower value, more frequent workplace anniversaries may be more appropriate and we expect to see a move away from the traditional 25 years’ service award towards 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 years recognition. According to insurer LV, the average length of service for a UK worker is around 5 years. Today’s employees are less likely to stay in a job for 20 years at a time. However, the nature of long service awards is changing in line with attitudes to long service itself. It is clear that companies such as John Lewis and Tesco who all employ thousands of staff put a huge emphasis on recognising their staff for their loyalty. Employees were more likely to value bespoke, personalised awards over money.The timing of rewards is important: employees want to receive rewards spontaneously and for good work (47% and 38% respectively) over traditional calendar events.Annual leave and public recognition are the most popular work-related awards: 43% of those surveyed picked annual leave as the work-related benefit that would make them feel most loved at work.Among the handful of organisations marking 50 years, the typical payment is £500.Įarlier this year (2018) we conducted our own research of nearly 2,000 employees on work-related rewards, which provided some interesting findings when viewed in the context of long service awards.One organisation gives employees £200 to donate to a charity of their choice. Other generous awards include one month’s salary, and four weeks’ paid leave. Payments for 20 years’ service are also worth £300 at the median, although in one organisation this rises to £7,500.Rewards on offer include a one- or two-night stay away, two weeks’ salary, four weeks’ paid leave and lunch for two. At 15 years’ service, the median value of gift is £300.Awards range from a certificate, badge or pin, to a Rolex watch, a free flight (within a specified list of destinations), a gold coin, three months’ paid sabbatical and lunch for two. At 10 years’ service, the median gift value rises to £150.Non-monetary awards include a company pin, badge or letter dinner with company directors or managers champagne and one month’s unpaid sabbatical.
