Length of Service rewards - new zealand

Recognise long serving employees

Retain experienced staff

Reduce staff turnover and reduce recruitment costs

In the current employment marketplace in new zealand it is more important than ever to ensure that valued employees with experience in the fields required by your business are retained on your staff as long as possible. There are a lot of reasons why staff leave a job, but one of the most common reasons for staff churn is that employees do not feel their efforts are being recognised or valued by their employer. Long serving staff accumulate a lot of knowledge about many aspects of a business that is often not well documented, if at all, and with their departure that knowledge can simply disappear.

It is expensive to recruit new staff and they can take a long time to get up to speed in a new job. In todays employment environment in NZ it may be very difficult to find a suitable replacement and compromises may have to be made.

The bottom line is that businesses should take every opportunity to show employees they value their work both through communication and in a tangible way. Many employers are increasingly looking for ways to encourage their employees to relax in their out of work hours although for those with young families this can be difficult, so incorporating some lifestyle rewards into the long service reward range can assist.

Should the awards be tied to length of service or some other factor such as employee birthdays?

Should the award be for a specific gift or will the recipient have some choice?
