Although most employees would prefer a bonus as a reward for a job well done, the end of each year is a perfect opportunity to bond with your workers and colleagues. That said, you don’t have to remove the financial part. Besides the incentive, a lot of employees will appreciate a thoughtful gesture of getting a gift from their company. Finally, gifting your employees can also benefit your business as well.
Unless you own a small business and work closely with your employees, there’s a high chance you don’t have a clue what they want for Christmas or New Year's. In these situations, money is the perfect way to avoid rocky roads.
Whether you opt to give only cash and gift cards, or you decide to give dedicated gifts, your employees will be grateful for anything you take the time to give them. Make sure they feel appreciated when you do decide on a gift.
You may think that gift-giving only benefits those on the receiving end, but that's not entirely true. Of course, every gift-giver will have the moral satisfaction of making someone happy, but there are some situations where you can use gift-giving to promote your brand. For example, you can buy high-quality hardwood cutting boards with your company’s logo on them for a useful and elegant gift.
The advantages of buying in bulk are manifold. Namely, you’ll save a lot of money while getting a unique gift for your employees. What's more, you’ll get your workers a unique gift they will be used for quite a while to promote your company and raise your brand awareness.
Although gift giving isn’t mandatory and doesn’t actually happen in many companies, you want your company to stand out from the crowd. Getting a gift, paying for a team-building trip, or merely giving a job well-done bonus will mean the world to your employees, and they will definitely appreciate it. Branded products, like the bulk cutting boards we mentioned, clothing items, or even tech equipment can be a good idea to raise your brand awareness while showing your employees how much you appreciate their work.
The holiday season is storming in, and even though we’re aware that this particular time of the year is approaching, most of us feel unprepared when it actually comes. Don’t make that mistake this year. Make sure you plan the gift-giving process properly and make the holidays special for all of your employees!
