How to Celebrate Your Employees in a Work-From-Home Environment

 How to Celebrate Your Employees in a Work-From-Home Environment 

The pandemic made the transition to online a must for many businesses and when your business is online, it's all too easy to forget to praise your work-from-home employees for their hard work and dedication. Your employees are doing excellent work in a tough environment so here are five ideas from a local awards shop specializing in personalized gifts on how to reward employees that work from home! 

1.) Trophies and Plaques 

Plaques and trophies send a clear message that you value someone's hard work and dedication. Therefore, we're seeing plaques become more popular than certificates as the chosen method of employee recognition.  With so many customizable choices for trophies, you can find one that fits your recipient perfectly. Customize the figure of the trophy to match the role of your employee. For example, an employee who keeps customer service standards high might be given a pedestal with an eagle on top while creative employees are often given globes or paintbrushes as their bases.  

2.) Custom Drinkware 

Drinkware is another great option for employees who work from home. With custom mugs and glasses, you can add a fun twist to your employee's morning coffee (and/or afternoon tea!) and remind them with every sip that they are appreciated!  

3.) Paid Time Off 

Many people work from home full-time. If you have a few employees that fall under this category, it's important to recognize not only their hard work but also the fact that they gave up time with family and friends for your company. Show them how much you appreciate them by giving them additional paid time off. It's not something you can do often, but it certainly makes a difference in employee morale when you do it! 

4.) Gift Cards 

With gift cards from Amazon, Starbucks, and other retailers, you can gift the perfect item for any of your employees while giving them an extra boost of motivation to do their best work.  

5.) Custom Desk Accessories 

Desk accessories are something that most employees will use daily. It's the perfect reminder of how much you care about their performance while also being functional enough to be used every day.  Desk accessories can include desk name plates and signs, desktop calendars and organizers, etc.
