A little appreciation can go a long way, and when you recognize achievements and give credit where it’s due, employees will feel acknowledged, improving overall morale and strengthening workplace bonds. One great way to show your appreciation is by gifting in the workplace, whether it’s for a birthday, farewell, congratulations or a job well done, group gifting is an effective way of creating an atmosphere of motivation and happiness.
Group Gifting is a team-wide effort that builds a bigger and better gift. It’s simple, straight to the point, and can be started by anyone. By inviting your coworkers and colleagues, you can offer the recipient a wider range of options, a more substantial gift, and essentially, more happiness!
Let’s explore 3 reasons why you should be promoting group gifting at work!
1- Bigger Gifts, Better Impact
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, promotion, farewell, or simply wanting to show your appreciation, group gifting offers a convenient and powerful way to digitally pool resources and create a more meaningful gift. Group gifting simplifies the physical process by allowing online contributions and instant digital gift delivery through email and SMS.
With platforms like ours, you can easily organize and collect contributions from the team to purchase a HappyYOU Multi-Brand eGift Card. These versatile cards offer the recipient a wide range of options from over 900 brands, ensuring they can find something they truly love, at their own convenience. Bigger value means the receiver has the flexibility to spend the gift card on multiple brands, at their leisure, increasing happiness and motivation in the workplace.
2- Managing Cash is No More!
Traditional group gifts are often messy and chaotic, making the organizers run around collecting cash, keeping track of who chipped in, among other things. Digital group gift cards offer a much simpler alternative to collecting cash. Instead of the hassle of coordinating payments from people in different departments, the YOUReward Group Gift organizer can easily create a digital gift and invite contributors online in no time.
3- Improved Culture and Office Relationships
As opposed to regular rewarding, the perks of digital group gifts go further. For example, the group gift comes from your coworkers, rather than a branded gift, making it much more personal and thoughtful. This strengthens office relationships and creates a fun atmosphere anyone can participate in. Motivation and productivity increases with effective rewarding, as we’ve seen here, and as happiness increases among the workforce, the more retention you get.
We’ve implemented Group Gifting on the YOUReward platform, making it easy and convenient for you to begin the journey with a few clicks.
