Employee Recognition
Anniversary Gifts
Upscale keepsakes and collectibles are a great idea. Products made of high-end materials, like a crystal clock or etched-crystal dinner bell are a classy touch.
New-Hire Welcome Gifts
Don’t forget to welcome the newbies with treats like desk sets, fun paperweights and fresh-cut flowers. Yes, even men appreciate buds (and they can always bring them home and tell their wives they are for her).
Award Programs
Next, there are various awards programs: Sales contests, President’s awards, Employee of the Year and so on. Ideas should vary just as much as the awards programs do. Something less expensive and fun, like a light-up martini glass, could work for reaching a smaller sales goal.
A pricier, yet-sure-to-be-appreciated award will be proudly displayed by the Employee of the Year and President’s award recipients. Money and gift cards are welcomed by any employee who goes the extra mile with an advertiser, let’s say, or a subscriber, or even a production manager who tracks down just the right printer for the magazines, or an editor who makes an extremely tight deadline. Be sure you have plenty of quality envelopes to hold cash and cards.
Retirement Gifts
Thank long-time loyal employees who are retiring with a special remembrance, such as a high-end crystal award. A less-expensive alternative could be a luxury pen set in a wooden gift box.
