Hi Mona...
Its generally very difficult to celebrate the day any employee completes his/her 3/5 years in the company.
I would suggest to recognise them at your Annual function every year....
Give them Some gifts in front of the entire staff...the newcomers feel very motivated with such gestures and obviously the one who is getting will also be happy to be recognised in front of everyone...
Gifts such as....Silver coins(embossed with 3 years or 5 years) whatever is applicable.
Cash or cheque: Rs.5000/-for 3 years
Rs.7500 for 5 years
Mementos embossed with 3/5/7/10 years of completion
Holiday package for the entire family for 3 days, 5 days whatever your budget suggests...
and many more...
Hope it will be of help......

Hi Mona,
Very good suggestions are given by Archna & Bhaskar.. I fully agree to recognize their long association of services on Annual day as suggested by Archna.
One more thing i want to add.. apart from gift vouchers, Holiday Packages, Momentos, medals etc. you can give them the certificates also signed by your Managing Director, or may be some Higher authority in HR.

Dear Mona,
Your plans are very noble & they will go a long way in employee motivation. In our company we print Certificates mentioning the no's of years they have completed which is endorsed by the senior management team.

Dear Mona,
In my company i.e. SAIL we recognise 25 years & have a function know as 'Long Service Award' on SAIL Day i.e. 24th of Jan. every year. That day we give the employees a Salem Steel's stainless steel dinner set. Also a cerificate, high tea & a group photograph with the senior officers of company.

In our company we give gifts for completion of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 & 40 years !
Earlier there was some gifts from which they could choose. Finally, we found it is better to offer a chance for them to buy (equivalent to.... fixed amount) including tax in company's name, so that billing is easy ! Staff liked this idea and still continueing it. We issue a letter in which we specify the no. of years completion and amount offered and billing pattern.

Hallo Mona,
I agree with suggestions offered. In our institution, we started the practice last year. Various awards were given, Employee of the year Award, Long services awards, ie 5 years received Ksh. 5,000 & 10 years received Ksh. 10,000( the institution has been in existance for 13 years) We also gave them a Long Service Certificate signed by CEO and Board Chairman with the institutions seal, a letter congratulating and appreciating their service, and a photo with the senior executives. I also agree for better results, the awards should be annual and in the presence of other employees. It is such a great motivator. Most employees are motivated by appreciation & recognition more than their package.
All the best
