Say it with fun food:

Ask people what their favorite snacks are. Then surprise them by mailing those treats home or bringing them to work. The nice thing about this type of appreciation is that it’s a good way to create appreciation moments all year round.

Personalized gifts:

Show your people you value their individuality by giving them gifts that represent their interests. They don’t need to be expensive; personalization is what’s important. For example, curate a catalog of gift cards for employees to choose the gift that meant most to them, including a charitable donation.

Tap into the quiet season:

While finances never take a rest, tax seasons do! Take advantage of the quiet seasons, for example, summertime, and give employees a four-day work week for a certain amount of time. Let them choose between a Wednesday or a Friday and coordinate so that you have enough people in the office. This promotes working together, communication, and showing appreciation all wrapped into one!

Craft compelling offers:

Are your employees chomping at the bit to be part of the larger executive leadership? Tap into that by rewarding all the hard work with extended invites to C-suite meetings. Most employees don’t get much face time with their senior leaders. Many may never attend a meeting with their CEO. So, invite them to one. Better yet, recognize their accomplishments in front of the C-suite.

Get out of the office:

Take your team out to lunch. Use the time to catch up. Don’t just talk about work — check in with them personally. Have fun with it.
