The employees of a company are a major asset to any business. The performance of your employees has the potential to increase or decrease profit. Showing appreciation to your workers increases morale, and prevents high turnover rates. Consider these great gifts to show your employees how much you appreciate their efforts.

Free Lunch

Providing lunch for your employees is an excellent way to show appreciation. Many restaurants take reservations, and provide group discounts. If certain issues prevent your employees from eating out, there are many companies that provide catering services. It’s also a great opportunity for team building exercises.

Movie Tickets

Movie tickets are a great way to show your employees how much you appreciate their contributions at work. Whether an employee is young, or reaching retirement, most people love going to the movies. Movie passes allow employees to choose the film they want to see, and gives them freedom to use the tickets whenever they like.

Gift Cards

Gifts cards are a very popular way to reward employees for their work performance. Prepaid visa and master cards are accepted everywhere, which gives employees the freedom to use the money however they like. Gift cards for restaurants are also a popular option. Employers can choose a gift card for a specific restaurant or customize a gift card to give employees several selections. It’s also common for employers to give gift cards for popular department stores such as Target and Walmart.

Bonus Checks

Surprising employees with bonus checks is an excellent way to show appreciation of their work. Many bonus checks are issued at the end of the year, but some employers choose to give bonus checks out monthly. Bonus checks motivate employees to deliver better results.

Office Supplies

Providing employees with high quality office supplies is a good way to show appreciation to your workers and also promotes efficiency. Giving calendars for the New Year helps employees prioritize their work load, and helps them be more organized. Cheap calendar printing companies can be found online or in the yellow pages. Other great office supply ideas include writing utensils and notepads.

There are many gifts employers can give their workers to show appreciation for their work. Simple gifts such as a free lunch or office supplies are inexpensive and can be given often. Gifts with monetary value such as movie tickets, gift cards, and bonus checks motivate employees to deliver better results.
