We've
all gotta eat. And most of us love to eat something that feels like a
real treat, especially at Christmas. Whilst giving staff a nice bottle
of whisky or a case of wine can be a little contentious (unless you're
absolutely certain about who is or is not teetotal), giving the gift of
food can rarely go wrong. Christmas
is, for most of us, a family time. Acknowledge the significant people
in your employees' lives this festive season by giving a gift which can
be shared. How about a gift card for a local restaurant? Or a family theater pass? Flexible-use tickets can be a wonderful surprise,
especially for those with young families. Be creative by thinking beyond
the individuals in your workplace to see the lives that surround them. If
you're on a budget, don't feel pressured into breaking the bank when it
comes to giving your employees presents this Christmas. After all, it's
the thought that counts. A pair of fun socks or a silly t shirt can
serve as the perfect boost for spirits which won't leave your organization counting its pennies in panic come January.
