How will you thank your employees?

This morning I surprised my employees by donning my red apron bright and early and making banana split pancakes for everyone as they arrived.  Whole wheat pancakes adorned with sliced bananas, coconut/pineapple and peach frozen yogurt and topped with fresh blueberries and strawberries.  There is just something special about starting a summer day with ice cream (or a healthy alternative to ice cream).  It was a hit and everyone was thrilled.  We love to surprise our employees – sometimes it’s gifts, sometimes it’s food, sometimes it’s a new shirt to celebrate a great win or a new season.

Showing appreciation to employees leads to higher employee engagement:

Employee engagement is the emotional commitment an employee has to the organization and its goals, resulting in the use of discretionary effort. - Kevin Kruse, Contributor, Forbes

Employees with high engagement levels care more, are more productive, give better service, and even stay in their jobs longer. All of that leads to happier customers, who want to work with your company and also refer your company to others more often.  It is something that we strive to achieve with every employee.

Labor Day is just around the corner on September 1^st.  What a great time to recognize and thank your employees!  And it is even better when they least expect it. We have so many great ways to thank your employees – great coolers, awesome drinkware they will use every day, lunch boxes, ideas that makes their job easier and apparel that build pride.  Employees are proud of where they work and love to show off their logo’ed attire.  Food is great and employees do love it, but it’s also great when you can pair it with something they use everyday.  Your gift will be a constant reminder that they are appreciated and recognized for their hard work.  It builds pride, teamwork

and a sense of belonging.

We would love to help you put together a great plan to appreciate your employees!  Let us know how we can help.
