Here Are Some Amazing Appreciation Gift Ideas To Please Your Work Squad
Remember the first time your teacher appreciated you for getting an A on your school test or your coach for scoring a winning goal for your football team?
You probably do, because everyone remembers that brief time of happiness where they feel appreciated. It happens not just in schools or games but also in personal relationships and, of course, in employment arenas.
Did you know that 63% of employees say that they wouldn’t change jobs if they like the workplace?
So it eventually all boils down to how satisfied and happy your employees are in your company. Moreover, a high employee churn rate is not a good look for your company, so if you are looking for a way to reduce it, you have come to the right place.
When To Show Your Employees Recognition? And Why?
There are many reasons to show employees recognition. It can be their achievement in a project; it can be reaching a milestone, or winning over a tough assignment.
On the personal front, it can be that they are new parents or just got married; it all comes down to the fact that you appreciate them.
Here are some great employee gift ideas to make them feel valued.
Spa Coupon
Sitting behind the computer in a 9-5 can be tough on anybody’s back. What can be more relaxing than to get those tight knots off your back? A spa day will allow your employee to unwind and relax.
What’s better is that they can come the next day being rejuvenated and content.
A Plant
Did you know that according to studies, the human mind functions better when there is a plant nearby? And people seem to be more calm and relaxed around plants?
Studies even show that the attention span has also increased by over 20% – amazing! Given that a normal person’s attention span is currently just 8%.
So why not gift a plant; like a succulent which is easy to maintain plus it also looks great on a plain jane work desk.
A Chocolate Bouquet
A sweet treat for appreciating your employees is a no brainer idea. Instead of going the usual way of choosing a flower bouquet, go the unconventional route by getting them a chocolate bouquet.
You can go for a single flavoured one or go for an assorted array of different flavours.
Gift Card
If you are not sure what you should give your employees, then a gift card is a great way to clear the air. Gift cards are available easily in every retail outlet or online store. If time is a crunch for you, you can opt for getting an online gift card; it is fast and simple.
A Gourmet Gift Basket
Yummy and delicious gourmet snacks are everyone’s weakness. Who wouldn’t like chocolate-covered caramel popcorn! Or an array of assorted cheese from blue cheese to soft feta, chocolate-covered strawberries- pure perfection!
If talking about it makes you salivate, imagine the happiness of the person on the receiving end.
Many companies provide such exotic gift baskets, so you don’t even have to build a basket yourself. Hurray! You can place an order at the comfort of your home probably at 2 am and still be sure that it’s going to be an amazing option.
Fitness Class
Yes, the pandemic has made us all stand still in our tracks (literally), and the summer body goals are a far cry because gyms are closed. What you can do is gift a virtual gym membership because that way, your employee can take help of it and remain strong and healthy.
Conclusion
It is known that valued employees perform the best and if you want your workforce to be more productive, making them feel appreciated is important. Through the ways given above, you can show them that you care and appreciate them.
