Actually, Employee Appreciation Day is the first Friday of March, but why not go above and beyond this year? Recent events have put a tremendous strain on both employees and company resources and what better way to celebrate your hard-working crew than to turn the entire month of March into a celebration of them? After all, without your employees, you wouldn’t have a business at all!
With that in mind, and again, given current conditions, managers and business owners should probably spend some serious time figuring out ways to recognize and acknowledge their remote employees because let’s face it, right now and for the foreseeable future, many, if not most of your employees will fall into that category.
One of the simplest and best ways of acknowledging the contributions of your remote employees is via your existing recognition program. If you already have one, then you’ve already got money in the budget to purchase gifts to serve as rewards for various purposes. If you don’t yet have such a program in place, now is a great time to consider launching one!
Employee Appreciation Month Gift Ideas
Regarding gifts for employees to serve as tokens of recognition, the sky really is the limit here, but broadly speaking, there are a number of categories of ideas you can’t miss with.
These include things like:
Home Office Décor – Here, you’ll find items like attractive planters with seedlings to add a splash of green to your employee’s desk, and a wide range of inspirational artwork from our award-winning series.
Drinkware – Everybody needs to stay hydrated and most people like to enjoy their favorite cold or hot drink at their desk while knocking out the day’s work. What better way to help them do that than with a custom bit of drinkware from their new favorite boss?
Snacks – While this category isn’t for everyone, most people have a sweet tooth and enjoy a wide range of sweet and/or salty snacks. Again, we offer a wide range of gift packs catering to just about every preference, so it won’t be hard to pick out something that everyone will love, even if your staff has wildly varying tastes.
Best of all, and with the thought in mind of turning Employee Appreciation Day into a month-long celebration, why not plan to send out a gift box each week to your remote employees, during the month of March? You could pick something from a different category each week and create a whole month’s worth of pleasant surprises for your team, which will cause morale and productivity to soar.
We make it easy to do that because we offer a multi-ship option on our site, which allows you to bundle purchases for several employees into a single order and have each order shipped to a different address, keeping things delightful.
