Here are 5 ways to show your employees youâre thankful for all their hard work during the holiday season. Perfect for remote teams!
Effective leaders know how vital employee appreciation and recognition is in the workplace. Acknowledging (and rewarding) your teamâs accomplishments, offering robust benefits packages, and ensuring a healthy work-life balance are just a few ways to get the job done.Â
However, the holiday season is an ideal time to amplify your efforts! â Read on for 5 ways to show your team extra gratitude during the holidays.Â
Employee gifts are a great way to give thanks â why not let your employees show their coworker appreciation with a handpicked gift? Thatâs exactly why a secret gift exchange is a great way to give your employees a little holiday fun (just donât buy someone an iPod, okay?). đ
Randomly pair team members using DrawNameâs gift exchange generator. With it, your employees can even create holiday wish lists to make it easy.Â
If youâre feeling the festive spirit, consider giving your employees a gift allowance. That way they donât have to go out-of-pocket, but can still get in on all the fun.Â
Bring on the holiday cheers with a virtual happy hour! đ„
You can give your team the gift of (boozy) knowledge in a winter-inspired virtual cocktail class or keep it classy with an evening virtual wine tasting party. Either way, theyâll definitely be in high spirits.Â
Things are always sweater when youâre together. đ§„ So bring on the itchy wool, tulle trim, and blinking reindeer eyes â itâs ugly sweater time. This event is a unique way to show off your teamâs humor and creativity!Â
đ„Host a contest to determine the biggest abominable abomination. Consider adding other superlatives, too, like âBelongs in the MoMAâ or âMost Festive.â We also think this event pairs perfectly with the remote happy hour weâve mentioned.Â
As you know, team building is a great way for employees to connect with each other â especially if they donât often work together. But itâs also perfect for showing your appreciation, too.Â
Loop your employees in on the planning, get their opinions and see what activities stand out to them. Maybe theyâre creative, DIY-types whoâd enjoy a virtual paint and sip class. đš Or maybe theyâve got a sweet tooth, and would much rather engage in some holiday baking fun. đ©đł They could even be game fanatics, and would much rather go head-to-head in a rousing game of Winter Charades. đ
Send them over to our curated Winter Collection and let your team tell you what theyâd like! We can take it from there.Â
Your employees deserve your gratitude year-round. But itâs fun to lean into the holiday spirit and show them a little extra appreciation. đâ
