Put your team under Social Media spotlight

Let’s be frank about it. Anything is spread fast and quick in the virtual world than the real world! So, why not turn the social media into a great marketing resource and a  perfect place to showcase your top team members. Whether you have an exclusive post on them, a snap shot of the corporate holiday or the weekend luncheon party and you’re almost screaming from the rooftops how much you appreciate them.

It will give your clients and followers a rare glimpse of the behind the scenes activities in your organization, which in turn is a key part of brand storytelling. So, social media posts will not just make your team feel valued and popular but will enhance your brand loyalty.

Custom gifts

Get some special custom giveaways that are imprinted with your inspirational messages, artwork or even your team anthem or slogan that will make the team really proud. Choose from a wide range of gifts right from office staples like writing instruments to team apparels or tech accessories to cater to the needs and tastes of your employees.

Events and Nights Out

A planned event or night out will be a great option  for the employees to put their feet down and relax after their hard work while it gives a great opportunity for you to show your employees that you appreciate their effort. It is a great team bonding activity as well and a great opportunity for the members to mingle freely beyond the formal settings of their office.

Whether you have the happy hour drinks, karaoke nights or team building activities on cards, it will give a perfect platform for the employees to unveil the hidden talents in front of others.  It is a proven way for improving employee engagement because those team members will feel like part of the business family. With more people working remotely than ever, you can even host virtual events and nights! Events have a magical effect on your employee retention rates.
