Employee Appreciation Day, which is March 7 this year, is a time for companies to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of their workers.
Employers showing appreciation for their staff helps them to feel valued, enhances relationships and the work environment and can even increase productivity. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to say “thank you” to those who help make your business run we suggest considering these thoughtful options:
Flowers
You can never go wrong with flowers. If you’re worried about it being too personal, don’t be. There are flowers for every occasion.
You are also able to include a message for each arrangement to indicate your message. We also offer add-ons such as “Thank You” balloons and our “Thank You Plush Flower” to help share your gratitude.
We recommend these arrangements for employee appreciation day:
Plants
Plants are especially a great gift if your employees have offices with natural light. Adding a plant to office environments has been shown to increase concentration, decrease stress levels and improve overall worker satisfaction.
These plants are perfect to enhance the office environment:
Snacks
Powering through a work day is fueled by many with coffee and snacks. Help your employees keep their energy up and give them a gift they will love by supplying the snacks.
We have many different snack options that are great for thanking employees:
- Happy Flower & Candy Set – Thank You
- Chocolate & Mug Gift Set (This set gives them something new to put their coffee in too!)
- Snack Basket
Tea
Some people prefer to get their caffeine for the workday through tea. If your employees prefer tea, consider gifting them a box of Tea Forte tea.
Different types of teas have also been proven to reduce anxiety symptoms, which can be especially helpful in a high-stress work environment. Gifting tea to employees shows you understand the pressure they are under and care for their mental health.
A “Thank You” Figurine
Some people love to decorate their space at work to make it feel more comfortable and inviting. If you notice your employees have a lot of items on their desks, such as figurines, pictures, etc., they will probably appreciate something new to include in their workspace.
Willow Tree figures are very popular gifts with meaning. Each one corresponds to a message for the person it is being given to. Gifting one of these decorations will show your employees how much they mean to you.
We recommend these thoughtful Willow Tree figures:
It’s important to make sure your employees feel appreciated all year, but it’s nice to take a day and specifically shine a light on their hard work and dedication.
