We’ve been helping North American companies recognize their employees since 1979. We provide in-country product fulfillment in over 63 countries, supporting 16 languages.

We have over 300 clients in a cross section of industries including retail, entertainment, energy, technology, healthcare, financial/insurance, construction, manufacturing and distribution.

1. We offer an amazing Service Awards program. We’ve been recognizing service anniversaries for a long time and do it really well. We are the only partner that offers non-monetary social recognition that touches ALL employees. We also offer a total recognition system with points, a stand-alone onboarding program and a huge choice of rewards.
2. We are entrepreneurial by nature and pride ourselves in solving problems and tailoring programs to our clients’ needs and budgets. We aren’t a boxed solution.
3. We are lean. We are very cost conscious in all our activities (including marketing) which allows us to pass these savings along to our clients. We can do what the big players do, for a better price.

A traditional Service Award program typically takes 4-6 weeks to set up. A Service Awards program with social recognition tools might take a couple extra weeks. A total Recognition points program usually takes 6-10 weeks.

Traditional recognition companies and Incentive companies attempting to be in the engagement and recognition space.

Over the last ten years, tech startups have emerged that understand technology quite well, but most often have minimal experience on how to budget, design and implement effective recognition programs that drive engagement and ROI.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer as many factors come into play.

• Your objectives
• Number of employees
• Your compensation for target audience. The industry often dictates if you’re in a high or low-margin business

A good rule of thumb is about $100/FTE with 1-2% of base pay not being unrealistic.
