It’s almost that time of year again! The time of sparkling Christmas lights, Christmas sweater day at the office, and the moment to surprise your employees with an original year-end gift. But maybe that’s where the problem lies? You want to do something different, but you have no inspiration at all?
We gladly share some tips so you can show your employees in an original way that you appreciate their efforts. In these challenging times, connecting with each other is more important than ever, and a nice gift can help. This year, go for an original and healthy year-end gift that conveys your message well to your employees. Give them a heartfelt thank you and strengthen the connection with your team members.
1. Let’s get personal
With a standard, impersonal gift, you actually send the wrong message. It almost seems like your employees aren’t important enough.
So choose a gift where you can add a personal message so your employees truly feel appreciated. At the boxes from JustBite for example, you can add a personal card so your team members feel immediately addressed when opening their box.
Receiving a gift with a personal message makes all the difference, doesn’t it?
2. Branded experience
With all the remote work in recent months, it’s hard for employees to feel connected to their employer. Give them a useful and handy gift with the company logo so they feel connected to their employer again.
Strong employer branding can seriously boost employee engagement, involvement, and job satisfaction. The year-end gift is a great way to reconnect your employees with the unique values and company culture.
We are happy to give you some concrete ideas for branded gifts here!
- One trendy, eco-friendly water bottle with the company logo helps your employees reach sufficient daily water intake. But it also gives them that feeling with every sip that they are part of the company community
- Wireless earbuds with your company logo making phone walking meetings as easy as can be
- One branded fidget cube to help all those creative ideas flow during the next brainstorming session
- Your own company quest game: a game box with your company as the setting. How cool is that?
- One personalized box full of healthy snacks tailored to you and in your corporate style
3. Healthy
Who says you have to overload your employees with packages full of chips, candy, and alcoholic drinks for a successful year-end gift? Choose a healthy alternative and let your employees feel that you not only appreciate them but also care about their health and well-being. Don’t just use words but take action and wish your employees good health in the new year by sending them a healthy gift.
Taking small steps together to live healthier every day can be motivating to fully commit to a healthier lifestyle. And healthy people are happy people. Give your employees that first push with a healthy gift.
The JustBite snack boxes as year-end gifts, your employees will definitely be surprised and enjoy it in a deliciously healthy way. Moreover, they are customizable and contain tips for healthy breaks at work. Go for healthy this year, because health is more important than ever.
4. Out of the box
Step away from the beaten paths and choose something different than the usual bottle of champagne or wine. Think out of the box for a moment. Your employees will be surprised and the gift will definitely have its effect, because they were expecting another bottle of champagne, yay. 😉
Give them a gift that is fun and unexpected and make sure you stand out as an employer this year. How about cinema tickets now that we can go outside again or a wellness moment so your employees can fully recharge. Let your imagination run free and truly make your employees happy this year.
Or literally think inside the box and give them a snack box full of responsible treats for a healthy break. JustBite got you covered!
5. Do something together
Now that more activities are allowed again, a fun team building as a year-end gift can work wonders for team spirit and your employees' well-being. It doesn't always have to be a physical gift. Going out together can definitely count as a gift too!
Awaken some healthy competitiveness and fun with a round of electric karting and treat your employees to a healthy snack during the break! Or go out together and choose a delightful team building: let loose during a percussion workshop or go for a game of laser clay pigeon shooting!
The winner will, of course, receive eternal glory on your office wall of fame!
So go for a very successful year-end period and treat your employees to a nice year-end gift they won't soon forget.
