Shivani,
in stead cash awards, they can be presented with momentos (silver or gold plated), wrist watches engraved with company logo in the dial, etc plus certificate by CEO or top official. However cash incentive may be in addition to the gifts. The long service intervals may be after 5 ys, 10 yrs, 15 yrs, 20 yrs, and so on.

Long service award is an excellent platform for recognising the loyalty & contribution of employees over the years.It can also be used as a brand building tool for new employees to demonstrate the organisations spirit of showing care & concern for their long serving employees.
the scheme would revolve a lot on the following parameters:
-no of employees
-% of employees who will be entitled to such rewards(linked to attrition levels )
-organisation commitment to the cause in letter & spirit
-white collared vs blue collared staff strength
-budget
The reward should be substantial & an employee should be able to feel that he has been recognised for his loyalty & contribution.Thus here one needs to think from an employees prespective as well.
Paying out cash rewards ( these may not impress employees at Sr level as it would involve TDS which may eat around 30% of the reward). Moreover keeping in mind the salary levels /grades of employees the quantum of reward may not excite them.Thus we could use a combination of the following:
-handling over of gold/silver coins ( Eg 10 gms,20 gms,25 gms) linked to no of years .This would also aid the family during their time of need and for childrens marriage.
-sponsor family holiday for domestic/international locations depending on no of years of service
-give Bonus leaves linked to no of years in service say 10 days extra leave for 5 yrs completion & so on
-give away the awards at an annual gathering in presence of the family of the said employee,infact the couple should be called up on the stage and jointly awarded the same.I am sure we will agree that the family is an equal contributor to the employees success & tenure.
-A citation /trophy along wiht a framed family photograph capturing the said proud moment .
-make the family of the member feel important by sending a car to pick up the family from home for attending the function & then drop them back at home.The best way to touch an employees heart is to give special consideraiton to ones family as ,how you make an employee feel is more important than what you say to him.
-send a flower bouquet to an employees residence thanking him for the faith he has put in the organisation over the years & has continued his professional journey with it.
-link certain perks/benefits with tenure in employment ( scholor ship for childs education, subsidised loans,soft furnishing benefit,white goods,etc)
-extended medical benefit coverage linked to tenure
The list to make an employee feel special is un-ending and a lot depends on an organisations budget & willingness to contribute & appretiate.
Having said this such rewards should be implemented keeping in mind the response of the employees as he needs to feel special on receiving the said recognition & the bottom line being that the reward should make him feel valued .
