Employee Appreciation Day, which occurs on March 3, is a great way for management to show appreciation for their employees. When employers give gifts to their workers and acknowledge their hard work, it helps increase the workers' productivity and make them want to stay longer with the company. Therefore, choosing the right gift ideas can help boost the workplace morale.
Promotional products with the company logo displayed on them make easy and practical gifts for employees. These branded items can include t-shirts, coffee mugs, pens and pen holders, tote bags, and notepads. Don't forget to include remote employees, who might appreciate tech accessories such as headsets and wireless chargers to use for their home office. Be sure to include a personalized thank-you note with all gift items.
Be creative with the branded items. Besides the company logo, add a positive message to motivate the employees or show them that they're appreciated. "You Got This!" and "You're Awesome" are great examples of positive messages.
Another popular idea for gifts for Employee Appreciation Day is food and drinks. Boxes of chocolates and other sweets are a favorite for many people. A smart alternative is sampler food baskets that contain snacks as well as healthy foods such as fruits and salad containers. For drinks, you can give tea sets and small bottles of wine. For those businesses on a budget, maybe consider baking cookies or bread and bringing them into the office for everyone to share.
Management doesn't need to give physical gifts to employees; instead, they can show appreciation in other ways. They can host a luncheon at the office and possibly combine it with an award ceremony. Remember to thank all the employees for their hard work and include remote workers in a virtual meeting. Give incentives to workers like "leave work an hour early for a week" or a paid spa day. Help pay for most of the costs of those employees taking continuing education courses.
