service awards

Tenure achievement plaques

Service awards are recognition given to employees for tenure or loyalty, typically at milestone intervals—five, ten, twenty years with an organization.

They may take the form of certificates, plaques, pins, or gifts: She received a service award for her twenty-five years with the company.

The term also applies to recognition for exceptional service in other contexts, such as military or volunteer work.
