Think about the last time you received a thank you gift for your performance at work. How did it make you feel?
Gifts have the power to unleash powerful reactions and sentiments. Tokens of appreciation, whether big or small, can convey gratitude, love, kindness, and comfort. Beyond providing a serotonin surge, in the workplace these symbols of thoughtfulness have been shown to improve engagement and deepen relationships with employees, clients, and other important business contacts.
Take Advantage of the Power of Recognition with Gifts.
The benefits are undeniable:
· A John Templeton Foundation survey found that
70% of those polled would feel better about themselves if their boss were more
grateful, and 81% would work harder.
· A Gallup poll revealed that
companies that have high employee engagement scores outperform others by 14% in
productivity, 18% in sales, 23% in profitability and 66% on wellbeing.
But there is a challenge. Office
rules have changed, but the importance of recognition hasn’t. You need to
look for ways to create a culture of recognition and engagement that is
future-proof. Don’t let the lack of corporate office time impede your employee
appreciation program. By implementing creative solutions, you can keep
motivating and engaging your employees through remote gifting and team building
– allowing employees to develop stronger bonds while working apart.
According to a survey by Terminal, 77% of leadership had never
managed a fully remote team prior to the pandemic. Leadership has risen to the challenge of
fostering remote relationships, maintaining productivity while still being
empathetic to employees’ needs, and inspiring them to continue delivering
strong work.
