Check out some of Successories most popular employee gifts. Below, we\u2019ll outline a number of ideas you can begin implementing immediately that will help take your recognition program to the next level.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Weave It Into The Fabric Of Your Organization<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What we\u2019re really talking about here is corporate\nculture.&nbsp; Your recognition program can\u2019t\nbe just this thing you do at periodic intervals, like a slot machine for\ngoodies that get spit out now and then in a mechanical nature.&nbsp; It has to be more than that.&nbsp; Recognition has to be an integral part of\nwhat it means to be in and work for your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognition should be a cause for the celebration of\nmilestones and specific jobs well done.&nbsp;\nIt should be shared on social media and featured on your company\u2019s home\npage.&nbsp; This is what makes it meaningful.&nbsp; In that respect, recognition isn\u2019t about the\ngifts and awards you hand out, it\u2019s about publicly acknowledging the\naccomplishments of your star performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tailor Recognition To Specific Employees<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is huge.&nbsp; Some\nemployees don\u2019t like the spotlight.&nbsp; They\ndon\u2019t want to be called up on stage and recognized in a loud way that they\u2019ll\nfind obnoxious.&nbsp; Recognizing an introvert\nis a very different thing from recognizing an extrovert, who will no doubt\nthrive on the type of attention we mentioned above.&nbsp; Be mindful of that and take the needs and\ndesires of your individual employees into account when recognizing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be Playful And Allow For Playtime<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gamification is one of the most powerful, transformative\nforces you can employee to fundamentally change how people feel about your\ncompany and working for you.&nbsp; Gamify your\nrecognition program if you aren\u2019t already doing so.&nbsp; Make it fun.&nbsp;\nMake it playful, and most importantly, make it memorable.&nbsp; Again, the specific gifts and awards you\u2019re\nhanding out are secondary to this.&nbsp;\nPresentation matters, and if the presentation isn\u2019t fun and compelling,\nyour recognition program won\u2019t be as effective as it could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Know Your Employees<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on how many employees you have, this could feel\nlike a daunting task.&nbsp; It doesn\u2019t have to\nbe though.&nbsp; Leverage existing technology\nto keep and maintain a tickler file that includes employee names, birthdays,\nanniversary dates, names of children and their birthdates, favorite colors,\nlikes and dislikes, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing this helps to ensure that you never give an\ninappropriate gift to any employee.&nbsp; It\nwill keep you, for instance, from giving a box of coconut cookies to someone\nwho is deathly allergic to coconuts, which, as you might imagine, will not be a\nwell-received gift, no matter how heartfelt it may have been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hand Write Thank You Notes!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a small thing, but it\u2019s incredibly important.&nbsp; When you\u2019re sending out holiday greeting\ncards or other nods of recognition, take the time to make it personal.&nbsp; Too often, busy business owners send\nChristmas cards with either no message at all written inside, or a completely\ngeneric message that could be applicable to any and everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do more than that and be sure that when you include a\nmessage, you write it by hand.&nbsp; It\ndemonstrates that busy or not, you care enough to take time out of your\nschedule to do it right and that\u2019s something that\u2019s going to be remembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you implement even one or two of these ideas, it will\nkick your recognition program into overdrive and you\u2019ll be much happier with\nthe results.&nbsp; If you implement all of\nthem, you\u2019ll be absolutely amazed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have an employee recognition program in place?&nbsp; Have you been underwhelmed by its effectiveness to this point?&nbsp; The problem could be rooted in your implementation of the system you have in place.&nbsp; Recognize Your Team With Employee Gifts Employee gifts are a great way to recognize your team&#8217;s excellent work.
