How to Make Your Employees Feel Appreciated with Corporate Gifts

While benefits and incentives are great motivators, a gift presented at the right moment warms employees' hearts. Here's a list of the perfect gift ideas for employees for every occasion:

Welcome Gifts for New Employees

Nothing makes a good first impression like a welcome kit during the employee onboarding process. It sets the tone for the kind of experience a potential employee will have working in your organization. More importantly, it excites, inspires, and reinforces their resolve to join your company. Some of the most loved items in welcome kits include:

• Branded hat: Branded hats are not only promotional products but also an all-season gift. They match almost any outfit and are customizable, so you don't have to worry about getting the correct size.
• Branded 6 in one pen: This pen can be a level gauge, ballpoint, ruler, scale, and stylus pen for touch screens. It is the best multi-purpose tool and gift idea for employees who enjoy DIY projects.

• Tumbler: A custom tumbler is the perfect welcome gift for employees as they can carry fluids in it to keep hydrated at work or home.
  
  

Gifts for Safety Incentive Programs

Safety programs are incentives given to the most safety-compliant employees in an organization. They're meant to minimize work-related incidents, especially in risky jobs such as construction, where many accidents occur. They include:

• 6 in one pen: This is an ideal multi-purpose tool for employees. It has a ruler, ballpoint, scale and level gauge suitable for employees involved in construction work.

• Hoodies: Custom hoodies are a popular corporate gift idea for employees in this era of working from home. Plus, they're warm and last longer than most other gifts.
  
  

Topping Out Gifts

Topping out gifts are like thank you gifts given in topping out ceremonies for a job well done by employees. They help end a project on a high note and set the pace for other subsequent projects. The most popular topping out gifts include:

• T-shirts with the building rendering: Architectural rendering t-shirts are a great way to remind employees of the excellent work they've done and are capable of.
• Mini plier multi-tool: The stainless steel mini plier with a knife, bottle opener, smart plier, and double-sided polishing tool is a preferred gift for employees.

Holiday Appreciation Gifts

Giving your employees gifts on special days such as Christmas, or Thanksgiving makes them feel valued and appreciated. However, you must be aware of each employee's culture and the true holiday meaning before picking a suitable corporate gift. Generally, you can get:

• Custom mugs: Mugs are an excellent gift for employees who love drinking tea or coffee. Plus, you can customize mugs to fit an employee's personality and passion.
• Nylon-covered hot/cold packs: These hot, cold ice packs help heat or cool down the muscles around the ankle region.
