Say thank you with memorable corporate gifts

Celebrating employing appreciation day at Sycal

This year, we celebrate 27 years of Employee Appreciation Day.

Established in 1995, the first Friday in March has been known to many organisations as Employee Appreciation Day. A day dedicated to recognising and rewarding our employees for their hard work and tireless efforts over the last 12 months.

For three decades, Employee Appreciation Day has slowly been expanding its message across the globe and is now celebrated in the US, the UK, and throughout Western Europe… and it seems like it’s needed now more than ever.

At Sycal, we don’t believe that showing appreciation to colleagues should be limited to one day a year, but should be a constant tool for motivating and rewarding hard work. In 2018, research conducted by recruitment website Monster.co.uk found that 54% of British employees feel underappreciated at work. Although it would be easy to attribute this sensation to salaries, studies have shown that it actually reflects the sense of value an employee feels from their employer. This isn’t a radical notion, in fact, 40% of bosses interviewed in the study actually acknowledged that there’s not enough praise given in their workplace.

Although it may not be the answer to all problems, receiving a gift from an employer can help increase the morale of staff members and lead to a better sense of appreciation within the workplace, and that’s where we come in.

Something for the office

Whether your colleagues are working from the office, at home, or are hybrid working, the last couple of years have taken their toll on employees across the country. Right now, there’s no better time to let your employees know that their hard work has been appreciated. That’s where we come in.

At Sycal, we create ranges of custom branded gifts, designed to put smiles on faces and your company branding in their mind. From low-cost branded products to premium gift options, there are no limits to how you can reward your employees in 2022.

One of the easiest ways to make an employee feel like a valued member of the team is with branded products designed to be used within the workplace. Whether it’s a small trinket like a custom branded pen, notebook, or mug, or something more premium feeling like Bluetooth earphones or a smart backpack, we can help.

Over the pandemic, we were able to supply these goods to employees in the office, as well as at home. Working with CCF, we created a gift pack featuring a range of custom branded gifts, including clothing, drinkware, notebooks, confectionery and more. To see our case study, click here.

Rewarding hardwork with custom branded awards

If you really want to say thank you to your employees, why not consider rewarding their hard work with a range of custom branded trophies, awards, and plaques.

Whether you’re hosting an awards event or a celebrating over Zoom, there are some fantastic opportunities to say thank you to your hardworking employees. With the option to ship the awards directly to the winners, we can help ensure that your brand stands out and your employees receive the appreciation they deserve.
