5 Easy & Useful Tips For Buying Gifts For Staff
Here’s a quick tip to guide employers looking to find the perfect present; remember that you’ll also have to use your judgement to pick an appropriate gift.
- Know Your Employees: Take the time to get to know your employees you seem them every day at work. Their hobbies, interests, and tastes can give clues about what they might appreciate. For example, if an employee is a coffee lover, a bag of fresh coffee from their favourite cafe could be a fantastic idea.
- Consider Their Needs: Consider what your employees might find helpful in and out of the workplace. This could be anything from a high-quality planner to help them stay organised to an insulated mug to hold their coffee or tea and keep it warm.
- Quality Over Quantity: It’s not about how many gifts you give but the thought and care that goes into selecting them. The perfect gift can have more impact than a bunch of less personal items or gift cards.
- Be Aware of Cultural / Religious Differences: Be mindful of the cultural backgrounds of your employees. Something that might be considered a great gift in one culture could be less well-received or even inappropriate in another.
- Seek Input From Their Peers: Colleagues often have unique insights into what a person might like. If you need help with what to give, feel free to ask for ideas from your peers. They can offer suggestions you haven’t considered.
