Working across many industries, we often see clients jumping ship from one company to another. So we get very excited when we are tasked with organising events like Long Service Celebrations and Awards Ceremonies to recognise employees for their hard work and loyalty.

"When done right, employee recognition creates a workplace culture that helps people thrive" – O.C Tanner.

Awards and Long Service Celebrations can be integral for staff in the workplace because they can: 

1. Improve employee engagement - Employees who feel recognized and thanked for their hard work are more likely to be engaged and connected to the company culture. 
2. Increase productivity - Recognition programs can motivate employees to perform at their best, which can lead to increased productivity and organizational performance. 
3. Improve retention - Employees who are rewarded are more likely to stay with the company. 
4. Foster a positive company culture - Recognition programs and awards can create an environment where employees feel valued and appreciated, which can lead to better teamwork and collaboration. 
5. Boost employer brand - A recognition program can make an organization a more desirable place to work. 

When implementing any kind of Awards Programme or Long Service Celebration it’s important to;

1. Make this a general part of the company culture, not just for exceptional results. 
2. Consider the roles and needs of different employees when choosing how to reward them.  
3. Make service awards meaningful and memorable. 
4. Reward employees for actions that align with company values.

We can of course help you with all of these points at the briefing and conceptualisation stage to ensure your awards and celebrations are impactful and memorable experiences.

These events can be anything from a Private Dinner, Awards Ceremony or even a completely immersive, unique, VIP experience to ensure employees feel valued and special. Recently we worked on a Long Service Celebration proposal for 30 people in the UK which included bespoke experiences such as; Chartering a Luxury Train with unique dining experience, Horse Racing Day with full Hospitality Package, VIP Driving Track day at a renowned F1 racetrack and Private Museum Tour with overnight stay at a luxury 5* hotel and spa on an exclusive basis. We can also arrange overseas reward programmes – See our Incentive Travel page for our tailored experiences. 

Whatever the style of Awards and Celebration event, location and budget, we always like to add a little extra Rockitfish Magic to create a truly bespoke experience to ensure your employees are rewarded in an unforgettable way that they deserve!
