In addition to party ideas, we have an array of digital assets from emails to graphics to help fill your employees with holiday cheer! Now let’s party…
🤝 Inclusivity
In order to be inclusive of those who don’t celebrate certain holidays, you can refer to it as “the holiday season” or an “end of the year celebration.” Choose a celebration that works for your organization depending on location, size, culture, weather, and budget.
🗓️ Digital advent calendar
Spread little holiday surprises throughout the month of December witih an advent calendar! Here's one you can use to create your own, full of messages of appreciation, fun photos, and more.
📦 Send a care package
This is a great option for remote teams. You can include anything from gift cards to games to company swag to winter gear. (Or you can include an AwardCode in each box, giving your employees points to use on their own gifts!)
🎅 Give Back
“Adopt” a family, or several depending on the size of your company, and get them the things they need to have a Merry Christmas. You can deliver the items as a group and either sing carols or leave them anonymously.
You can also partner with a charity to do a general toy drive. Set up a collection bin and work and invite whoever can to donate toys. If you’re remote, encourage employees to find organizations close to them that may need donations.
❤️ Holiday-themed recognition contest
Encourage team members to send the most creative holiday shoutouts or participate in a festive challenge. It’s a fun way to get everyone engaged and celebrate the season together.
🎁 Gift employees points
You can award points to help out with some of the holiday spending. A lot of spending happens all at once for people at the end of the year and extra spending money can be put towards presents, holiday dinners, or travel.
⏱️ Plan Ahead & Schedule Recognitions Early
Timing is key when it comes to the holidays. Sending your Holiday recognitions/awards out early ensures that everyone receives their gifts on time and can enjoy them throughout the season. Plus, it helps your team members feel appreciated before the holiday rush sets in.
