EDCO Unveils Top Employee Service Award Ideas in Extensive Guide

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the year wraps up and organizations prepare to celebrate workplace milestones, it’s the perfect time to honor your team’s dedication. Whether you’re planning your annual awards ceremony or looking to add new recognition categories, having the right ideas can make all the difference.

A work anniversary is about more than just a static milestone. Your employees keep your organization running all year long. When someone has been around for 5, 10, or over 20 years, they deserve a thoughtful, meaningful award. However, it can be tricky to come up with unique employee service award ideas. At EDCO, we specialize in producing the highest quality custom trophies and awards on the market.

Reward the hardest workers on your team with personalized inscriptions on beautiful awards, trophies, and plaques from EDCO. Use this as a guide for trophy ideas for the best employee service awards.

Top 50 Service Award Ideas and Employee Years of Service Trophies

There are a variety of employee years of service awards that you can use to tangibly show appreciation to your team. The categories we most often see include:

Work Anniversary & Years of Service Numeric Awards

Every employee has an important role to play in your company’s operations. It’s time to celebrate the years they’ve put in with Years of Service Numeric Awards. These gorgeous, high quality trophies offer a meaningful token of recognition that your employees will display for years to come. You can also opt for a Years of Service Plaque instead of a trophy. These timeless pieces complement employee offices, homes, and display cabinets within your organization.

You should also consider work anniversary plaques. Anniversaries are just as important as the total number of years an employee has served your organization. Keep hiring and enrollment dates in mind to better recognize your team’s anniversaries.
