An important element of a successful business is the staff who work within it. In these uncertain economic times, businesses can not afford to lose staff or have de-motivated employees. One of the best ways to maintain staffing levels and a degree of workplace satisfaction is to reward employees regularly. Employee recognition and reward programs can be a very inexpensive yet clever way to engage staff loyalty and their performance. There are several ways staff can be successfully rewarded throughout the year. Employers should consider celebrating staff birthdays as this form of acknowledgement does not just highlight the "best of the best" employees but recognizes that all staff can and do make a valuable contribution to the workplace. A small or large gift hamper filled with delectable treats would certainly make any staff member feel appreciated. Gift hamper companies can assist with this type of reward. They can source a wide variety of products to say "Happy Birthday" including their own signature cake, confectionery, gourmet products and giftware. The gift can be packaged in a variety of ways including their own signature hamper box which can be easily carried home at the end of the work day or box ware designed in the corporate colors of the business giving the hamper. Gifts for staff birthdays can be tailored to meet the budget of any business and a reputable gift/hamper company can keep track of staff birthdays for the employer and dispatch gifts at the appropriate time. Thus ensuring that no employee birthday is missed. Another method for rewarding staff could be highlighting a job well done. Once again a gift hamper would certainly be an excellent way to inspire and encourage staff and it can be designed to be shared with many. Financial rewards, whilst appreciated, are not always the best form of motivation. A gift hamper requires some thought and effort and is often unexpected. Therefore, it can be a tremendous surprise often changing employee behavior and perhaps when given long term, the culture of an organization. A professional hamper company would have several options for an employer wishing to say thank you, well done or great job! These hampers range from "i love your work which is filled with sweet and savory options", "i love cookies with over 20 delicious cookies", "i love Cadbury with approximately 1.5kg of chocolate" to "i love licorice containing ten different licorice products". Hampers can also be custom made to suit the individual tastes of employees. This is definitely a way for employers to demonstrate not just their appreciation but also their understanding of who their employees are. Rewarding staff and demonstrating that they are valued all year long will create an environment, which is productive and satisfying to all who work within it. Gift hampersare an excellent way to achieve this as they can be designed for any budget and to suit any occasion whether it be a staff birthday or an acknowledgement of their hard work.
