5 Tips for Better Employee Gifts

Employee gifting may be costing you more than you think.

23% of corporate gifts are thrown away immediately after they are received. Not only is it filling up your trash, it’s wasting your company time and money.

Top talent isn’t easy to find and employee retention is top of mind for many employers. Cutting corners on employee gifts might seem like no big deal in the moment but to the employees on the receiving side, it speaks volumes about how they are valued within an organization.

Here’s our advice for giving better employee gifts:

1. Don’t go cheap. Skimping on employee gifts is a bad look, especially at profitable companies. Tech-giants like Amazon get consistent dings from their employees all across social forums for their gifts. Don’t be like Amazon; your future employees are watching.

2. People are picky about their swag. Buzzing threads on Reddit reveal that employees don’t really want more branded swag. The TLDR: cheap corporate goodies are giving employees more clutter and less satisfaction.

3. Let employees choose their own gift. By adding in an element of choice, your team can pick out something that they’d really enjoy without you having to do any mind reading about what they would prefer.

4. Little moments can have a BIG impact. Taking into consideration your organization’s unique demographic can help you initiate more meaningful gifting moments from personal milestones to professional celebrations. Showing extra support for team members means getting to know what matters more to them.

5. Make it more personal. In a time where automated workflows are taking over and gifting budgets are increasing, giving something a smidge more personal can make or break how the gift is received.
