In all your profit making business the asset that matters the most is your employee. Most of your internal business environment consists of employees. You are the one whose head in charge to get the best and the most out of them. Like your machines, they need timely consideration as well. The key words that help you maintain your HR are – Motivation, Recognition, and Appreciation.
The question that comes next is; how to go about it? Simple, by gifting and rewarding them at different stages, to basically show that their work is not being neglected. Gifts in the case of employees are of two types- the first type is festive gifting. The festive gifting relates to the work place culture and aims at binding the company into one big family. Most businesses go with festival bonuses but the trend these days is of gifting customized mementoes. These generally include customized key chains, desktop accessories, clocks, diaries and organizers etc. with the company’s logo or name on them. Small businesses sometimes also go with the traditional way of gifting Indian sweets and dry fruit packets.
Second type of gift relates to employee appreciation. These are mainly given to individual employee depending upon his/her productivity and contribution to the business but they can even be distributed to all employees in case company is enjoying large profit. All of the above are essentials for motivation and work recognition. The live example of employee appreciation is the sixth pay commission declared by central government. Salary increment is the most common type of employee appreciation. In cases when salary increment is not possible companies go for gifting trophies, discount coupons, shopping vouchers etc. If you are working at a company with a big name and fame you can get gifts like pen drives, laptops, MP3 players, packaged tours (national or international) and so on.
So if you want to nurture your business you can got to feed its people right. Gifting employee is not something optional but a next level to workplace safety and improving the quality of workplace environment. So if you are heading a company set your bag of goodies to treat your employees.
