Browse these corporate gift ideas for your employees to show appreciation and win over top talent.
Employee gifting increases happiness and shows them they are valued, improving their well-being. It can also help you boost employee engagement, building a motivated workforce. And from a management perspective, it goes beyond spreading joy—it becomes a business move.
Did you know that over 85% of employees say they are not engaged at work – and that just a 2% boost in employee happiness can directly impact revenue growth? Employee retention rates also soar (by up to 54%) when people feel acknowledged, appreciated, and essential.
This blog post will explore the meaning of corporate gifting and the best corporate gift ideas for employees. Knowing how to choose the right appreciation gift and when you should gift for maximum impact is essential.
Choosing the perfect company gift for your employees doesn’t need to be complicated. We recommend sticking to these three categories when picking an employee gift.
Practical: One goal of gifting is to provide your employees with gifts they will use. Premium stationery, notebooks, water bottles, and wireless headphones are great examples of useful gifts. They will use these things often and act as a daily reminder of your appreciation.
Personal: Understanding your employee’s likes, dislikes, interests, and hobbies goes a long way in choosing the perfect gift for them. Handpick a thoughtful gift that speaks to their unique qualities. Better yet, pen a thank you note to include in the package. This personal touch will help forge a deeper connection.
Unexpected: Your gift should put a smile on your employee’s faces. It’s not just about the element of surprise but also creating a fun and unique gifting experience. Choose unique and delightful gifts like puzzles and games.
The art (or science) of selecting the perfect gift doesn’t have to be complicated. The &Open platform lets you pick from truly unique gifts inspired by your employee’s interests, tastes, and hobbies.
Every customer is signed up to the &Open gifting platform. You can choose from two different gift catalogs based on whether you are on the Free or Enterprise tier. Our gift catalogs offer unique and exciting choices, carefully selected to tell their memorable stories.
Gifting just a few people? On-Demand is perfect if you want to send an instant gift directly from your chosen brand. This is great for occasion-based gifting, like birthdays or weddings.
Enterprise is the way to go if you’re gifting whole teams or companies. With Enterprise, you can also customize a range of gifts, adding your company branding and logo. We will customize the gift recipient experience to match your brand and can also make personalized packaging for a complete branded experience. Your gift recipients can also choose their own physical gifts, as well as digital gifts and cause gifts.
Still not sure how to pick the right company gift for your employees? Follow these rules for giving a good gift. Below we will list the best corporate gift ideas for employees that will inspire, delight, and drive impact.
