Why personalised gifts mean so much more.

I went to a meeting with my accountant yesterday. He works for one of the biggest accounting firms in the world.

While we were talking about our unique employee rewards he started talking about what the firm he works for gives for long service awards...

A plaque.

With their name on it - number of years in service and - er, that's it.

not very impressive...

The fact is that INDIVIDUALS work for you. INDIVIDUALS are your employees and INDVIDUALS spend their lives making your company the success that it is.

So why on earth would you give them something standard, unpersonalised (and most likely ugly) when they leave.

Don't you want them to put it up on their walls, be proud of them?

Anyway - I think my accountant said it best.

"People looked at it, and said - Oh god, I spent 10 years of my life here - for this."

If you want a real employee reward go to www.employee-rewards.org.uk and reward differently.
