From the managing director to the secretary, a company’s image and efficiency depends largely on the quality of its employees. If your employees are hard working and they have a passion for their job you can rest assured that the company has all the necessary support from inside. Apart from the employees, another factor that will determine the success of your business is the satisfaction of your customers or clients. Where the employees make the business run, it’s the clients that bring in the money and make sure that the company can grow positively and that the revenues will keep on climbing. To ensure that the performance drive of employees and the loyalty of clients continue to excel, many companies are making use of corporate gifts and awards to inspire greater levels of commitment.
The idea of giving corporate gifts and awards does work on a psychological level. For employees, it gives them something to work for, something tangible that they can attain. It is very effective in raising the performance level of employees by introducing some healthy competition. From a young age we grow up in an environment where we crave external confirmation of our achievements, and this psychological need still carries over into our adult lives. It feels good to be rewarded, to be acknowledged for the work you have done. In a corporate environment, employees sometimes feel like they are working as cogs in a greater system, and where their presence or absence makes no difference. Thinking like this is extremely demotivating, and sometimes it is necessary to remind employees that they are in fact valued.
What better way of showing appreciation to your employees than having a nice little function for them. At the end of the year, or at the end of a big contract, it will lift your employees’ spirit if they receive the royal treatment from their employers. Having a get-together over food and/or drinks will give employees the opportunity to relax and bond with each other on a more informal basis. And having an awards ceremony at such an event will raise the game to the next level. By receiving something as small as a stylish desk penholder or something as big as a holiday in an exotic location, there are many corporate gifts and awards that can be given to employees to make them feel appreciated and give them the will and drive to perform for the next year.
For loyal clients, it’s also good to show recognition by extending some form of gift on occasion. Even a hand-written Christmas card will show that as a company you value their dedicated commitment to your establishment.
