We all love to receive gifts. Whether it’s for your birthday or for the holidays, unwrapping a present that was picked personally for you is plain ol’ exciting. But, when you think about it, what did you actually do to justify getting that present? You were born? It’s just a standard time of year to give gifts?
This is what separates a work-iversary from all of those other present-worthy occasions. Employees actually accomplish something in order to get their hands on that well-deserved gift! They tough it out, work hard all year, and remain loyal to their company. So, obviously, recognizing employees with a work-iversary gift is a definite must.
Not only do these goodies show appreciation and recognition for their efforts and commitment, but they also help to decrease turnover and foster the sort of work culture you should want to cultivate. In fact, an American Psychological Association survey found that half of all employees who report that they don’t feel valued at work intend to look for a new job within the next year. Even further? 93% of employees who report actually feeling valued and appreciated in the office say they are incredibly motivated to do their best work.
Clearly, recognizing employees with a work-iversary gift is undoubtedly important and beneficial to your organization. But, that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Finding the perfect gift to perfectly illustrate your gratitude and appreciation involves some thought.
But, don’t stress! We’ve rounded up 13 awesome work-iversary gifts that are sure to get the job done—just like that hardworking employee!
