Service Timelines reinvents years of service programs through personalized stories and videos from employees’ closest colleagues, the relationships that have mattered most over the years. This delivers a deeply personal and memorable anniversary experience that reminds employees of all of the ways they have inspired others at work. “Service Timelines unleashes the power of real human relationships in the workplace,” said Eric Mosley, CEO of Globoforce. “Every company is a collection of communities, of human beings, bonded by their connection to each other through their work. We’re moving service anniversaries from an antiquated approach into an inspiring, rich tapestry of human experiences.” With Service Timelines, companies can transform their approach to service anniversaries by:
The unveiling of Service Timelines is well supported by the findings of Globoforce’s most recent Workforce Mood Tracker survey. Service Timelines and the new approach to service anniversaries has already garnered acclaim from the HR analyst and influencer community: “Our research shows that employees prefer recognition that reflects their unique contributions. By enabling an employee’s social circle to collectively share their favorite memories, products such as Service Timelines give employees a chance to reflect on the experiences and impact they have made with their colleagues and customers. Such a service can transform the age-old service award into a living, breathing celebration of a person’s professional contributions and personal experiences at work.” ~ Stacia Sherman Garr, vice president, talent management research, Bersin by Deloitte, Deloitte Consulting LLP “The relationships we have with our co-workers has a proven effect on our level of happiness. Globoforce has invented a product that truly captures the importance of these relationships and their impact on individual and company achievements. Companies that recognize the potential in reinventing years of service programs by incorporating more social and personal methods of honoring a person’s career will be rewarded with a more motivated and dedicated workforce.” ~ Madeline Laurano, vice presidentand principal analyst, Brandon Hall “With Service Timelines, Globoforce has created a product that taps into the hidden potential of service anniversaries and the power of peers—leveraging colleague relationships to increase both individual and organizational social capital—and in turn helping to promote a culture of collaboration, mutual support and innovation.” ~ Michael Moon, research director, HCM at Aberdeen Group “Changing the way years of service awards are celebrated is a welcome disruption in the HR industry. Current approaches to honoring service anniversaries are failing to meet their potential in terms of energizing employees. Collecting stories, videos, and past recognition moments from an employee’s colleagues is a game-changing idea that can change the way people view years of service programs.” ~ Holger Mueller, vice president and principal analyst at Constellation Research “Celebrating someone's work anniversary in a way that truly reflects their achievements and relationships is a black hole in HR. With Service Timelines, Globoforce is empowering employees to thank each other for the role they play in their everyday and work lives. I highly recommend HR leaders take a closer look at this innovative program if they seek a real business return on their years of service programs.” ~ Laurie Ruettimann, HR consultant, influencer, and author “Recognizing the milestones of employees is a critical component to helping organizations in the mission of employee satisfaction. Globoforce enables a new generation of software to engage employees that will improve loyalty and contributions of every individual in a company.” ~ Mark Smith, CEO and chief research officer, Ventana Research “New social techniques and SaaS innovations are rejuvenating legacy HR processes long in need of change. HR leaders have a unique opportunity to rethink how they approach the redesign and improvement of service programs. The use of video and crowdsourced recognition can make an impact on employee morale, retention, and amplification of your organization's culture and brand values." ~ R "Ray" Wang, principal analyst and founder at Constellation ResearchAbout Globoforce Globoforce is a leading provider of social recognition solutions, helping companies build strong cultures of engaged employees through the power of thanks.
