What is Employee Appreciation Day?

Employee Appreciation Day is a holiday dedicated to showing gratitude and recognition to employees for their hard work and contributions. It's typically observed on the first Friday in March, which means the date varies each year.

The day was first created in 1995 by Bob Nelson, a founding Recognition Professionals International board member, as a way to thank employees and recognize their efforts. Since then, it has become a popular way for companies to show their appreciation for their employees through various activities, gifts, and recognition programs.

Employee appreciation is often underutilized in organizations, which can lead to higher turnover and lower productivity levels. Instead of falling victim to the same problem, put some action behind your words and showcase your appreciation with branded employee appreciation daygifts!

Small Employee Appreciation Gift Ideas

For Virtual & Remote Employees

With the rise of remote work, employees spend more time staring at computer screens, which can lead to eye strain, headaches, and fatigue. Blue light glasses help to reduce the harmful effects of blue light emitted by computer screens, which can improve productivity and reduce eye strain. Virtual employees may spend a lot of time on conference calls, video meetings, or listening to music while working. A bluetooth speaker can help improve their audio experience, making it easier for them to hear and be heard during meetings, and making it more enjoyable to listen to music while they work.  When working remotely, employees may not always have easy access to electrical outlets or charging stations. A power bank can help ensure that their devices stay charged, allowing them to stay productive and connected throughout the day without worrying about running out of battery.

For Healthcare Employees

Healthcare professionals often work in high-stress environments and deal with challenging situations daily. An electronic diffuser can help create a relaxing and calming atmosphere in the workspace, which can help reduce stress and promote mental well-being. Healthcare professionals are often focused on the well-being of their patients and may neglect their own health and well-being. A wellness journal can help them track their physical and mental health, set goals, and reflect on their daily experiences, which can promote self-care and improve their overall well-being. Candles can create a warm and inviting atmosphere, which can help healthcare professionals feel more comfortable and relaxed in their workspace. Additionally, scents like lavender and peppermint have been shown to have calming and stress-reducing properties, which can benefit healthcare professionals who work in high-stress environments.

For Large Staff

This stoneware cup is a practical and useful gift that employees can use every day. It can be used to hold their favorite beverage, and it can also help reduce waste and promote sustainability if it is reusable. Plant gift sets are not only fun and unique but can help improve air quality, reduce stress, and boost productivity in the workplace. They can also add a touch of nature and beauty to the workspace, which can help create a more pleasant and inviting environment for employees. Additionally, plants are a long-lasting gift that can continue to provide benefits to employees for years to come. Blankets can be customized with the company logo or a personal message, making them a thoughtful and practical gift.

The Importance of Staff Appreciation Gifts

Recognizing the individual achievements of employees is significant, but it's also essential to celebrate and strengthen the sense of team unity. Staff appreciation gifts that focus on fostering team spirit can have a profound impact on collective morale, collaboration, and productivity. The following ideas are tailored to help you build a more cohesive and enthusiastic team.

Nothing brings people together like food. A basket filled with a variety of gourmet snacks is not just a gift for an individual, but also an invitation for the whole team to take a break and bond. Shared food experiences foster casual conversation and create opportunities for team members to connect in a relaxed setting—turning a simple snack into a team-building moment.

Investing in team building activities is a powerful way to incorporate staff appreciation gifts as well. Organizing fun team activities opens up an opportunity for employees to bond with each other and also to give away custom employee gifts to winners. By organizing events that require collaboration and strategic thinking, you're providing not just appreciation gifts for employees, but also a way for your employees to learn more about each other's strengths. When you invest in your team's development, you send a message that their growth and future are important to you. 

Overall, staff appreciation gifts play an important role in the corporate world. Corporate appreciation gifts offer an opportunity to show employees that they are worth something at their company, leading to a healthier and more positive work environment. This contributes to long-term brand loyalty and also helps staff members bond through activities, creating better chemistry and more productive work in the future. The opportunities with employee appreciation gifts are endless.
