As a family-led business, building a sense of community is incredibly important to us, and we are committed to delivering the best care and advice for our wider community.”
Longacres values are…
“We believe in providing the highest quality customer service and take pride
in our wide range of unique products. We strongly value our sense of
community which pushes us forward as a team.”
Each Person’s Employee Recognition Scheme
Each Person offers a more personalised, flexible, and transparent approach with authentic thank
yous, encourages healthy spending habits through our Epoints store, and even has the ability to
fund eco-projects by donating trees. Our mission here at Each Person is to provide employees with the ultimate ‘feel good’ package to help increase employee engagement, motivation, and job satisfaction.
Wendy Menking, HR Manager at Longacres, says, “Community is a key part of our culture at Longacres; therefore, we are thoroughly excited to offer our people the chance to share their appreciation for each other through the Ecards feature. As a company, we want to recognise the dedication of our people, and Each Person offers us the opportunity to do so while supporting their mental and financial needs.”
Tom King, Customer Success Manager at Each Person, adds, “We are thrilled to welcome Longacres to our Each Person family and are looking forward to seeing them recognising their people. As their value of community aligns with our own, we hope they will particularly enjoy sending personalised Ecards to show appreciation on every occasion, big or small. I also look forward to seeing how they personalise the platform and make the most of the features.”
Taking Recognition by Storm With Longacres
Longacres spans six centres in the UK, offering first-class customer service and a wide range of
products and services. From plants, flowers, and pots to furniture, gifts, and food, Longacres
provides high-quality items across the board as well as services such as floristry and a plant finder. Opening in 1979, the leading garden centres have expanded from a small nursery into a widely favoured choice in communities across the UK.
Wendy Menking, says, “Showing our people that they are valued is incredibly important, not just in terms of recognising their hard work but also through supporting their wellbeing outside of work. We care about the mental, physical and financial wellbeing of our people, and Each Person gives us the opportunity to look out for all elements of our employees’ lives. Recognising people in multiple ways means they can come into work feeling positive, ready, and supported.”
Matt Norbury, CEO and Founder of Each Person said, “The importance of building a positive work
environment supported by recognition is often overlooked, resulting in high turnover rates and unhappy employees. We are over the moon to be supporting Longacres in taking their leap into effectively recognising employees. I hope they will appreciate the ‘Donate a Tree’ feature on the Dashboard and feel the benefits of knowing they are doing their bit to help the planet while building each other up through recognition.”
