O.C. Tanner, the global leader in the appreciation and recognition business, is offering a complimentary webinar, “The ROI of Service Award Programs” featuring Dr. Trent Kaufman, Executive Vice President and Partner at the Cicero Group.

Dr. Kaufman will review the results of global, cross-generational research, conducted by Cicero Group and commissioned by O.C. Tanner, which reveals that years of service award programs fulfill a critical role in company culture and employee engagement:
– On average, employees stay two years longer at companies that have a service award program versus those that don’t.
– Years of service award programs improve the degree to which employees experience feelings that the company cares about them, that they fit in and belong in the organization.
