Staff Appreciation Day March 2022

The last few years have taught companies to practice recognition in the workplace and thank employees for their hard work and efforts, from the new concept of welcoming new starters with gift packs to postal gift boxes right through to clap the NHS.

Now the UK is following suit with the USA and picking up on the National Staff Appreciation Day – scheduled for the first Friday in March every year (get it in your diary as an annual reoccurence to avoid a grumpy team). Some companies choose to celebrate all week or even all month, so don’t panic too much about timing.

Working from home has made companies think creatively about recognition and rewards to increase job satisfaction and motivation. No longer can a round of pizza’s at lunchtime be a treat for all when remote working or flexible working is in place.

Recognising and rewarding your employees regularly will maintain trust between employer and employee.

We all like to receive a thank you and won’t turn down an early finish, but that isn't what staff appreciation day is about. It's the perfect opportunity to thank every employee by creating recognition experiences that are heartfelt, fun and memorable.

Take a look at our top 5 employee recognition gifts to show your employees you care.
