For my 5th year I picked a gold chain. All their awards have the company imblem (spelling?) so the chain came with that charm already on it. The clock also has it on the gold plate. You can select luggage, clothes, jewelry, golfing stuff... stuff like that. They are always sending out safety awards. We got a watch several years ago for 2 years without a loss time injury so that is why I didn't want the watch for the service award.

Not long ago we got a really nice T-shirt and cap with a new logo that they held a contest on for the employees to come up with a newer image and they got a wonderful one, had it put on the shirts and hats for us and sent all the employees one (they were extra nice ones too!). We get safety bonuses every 4 months $$$$, all kinds of perks.

I think it is great that they do that, it lets us know they realize what we give up to work for them, what important things we miss and just showing they care means a lot! Of coarse we get P o'ed from time to time by a new rule or new idea someone comes up with like everyone does on any job but these "tokens" encourage you a LOT!
