How to Celebrate Your Staff This Holiday Season

Holiday gifts don’t have to be limited to annual bonuses or swag. Here are some ideas to show your team you care.

Let them pick their gift.

This approach allows your staff to select something suited to their preference. It can also save you time researching gift ideas that may not appeal to everyone. Create a catalog of gift options within a specific price point to keep your budget under control. Giving your staff the freedom to choose their gift shows them you value their opinions and want to provide them with something they value. You may also consider a poll or survey to gauge interest in gift ideas.

Give the gift of time.

New Year’s resolution season is approaching, so give your team a day off to focus on their goals and self-improvement. An extra vacation day can be more meaningful than any present, especially if it gives your staff time to spend on themselves or their loved ones.

Give the gift of local.

Support your local communities and small businesses and consider gifting your employees a unique gift from a boutique, a gift card to a local restaurant, an arrangement from your florist, or a gift certificate to their preferred salon or barber.
