Employee Appreciation Day is just around the corner on March 4th and we are here with fun ways to celebrate it.
Employee Appreciation Day is just around the corner on March 4th and we take it very seriously. Assembly strives to help companies build an engaging and happy workplace and appreciated employees are a huge part of that.
On Employee Appreciation Day is it common for employers to celebrate their loyal workforce and show appreciation for their hard work. With the remote or hybrid setup, Employee Appreciation Day has more meaning and value this year. Most of the year everyone is incredibly focused on achieving company goals and metrics. It’s been proven over and over that recognition can not only lead to happier employees but actually impact the overall business goals. Happy and valued employees lead to happy and loyal customers.
Virgin Group founder Richard Branson once said: “Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.”
So take the day to show your employees that they come first and make it memorable. Go beyond just a gift card and message. Make Employee Appreciation Day a part of your culture rather than just an HR holiday. Go beyond an email to the whole company with the ‘Happy Employee Appreciation Day’ as a subject line. And after all, spending a day showing your employees how valuable they are, is a day well spent in our book.
To help with making this day truly awesome for your company, we’ve rounded up some fun, unique, and easy-to-implement ways to celebrate the day. BONUS: free pre-made but the fully customizable template is included in each. You’re welcome.
Most companies have some version of a team-centric core value that they care about and it is not an accident. People need other people to survive, whether it is in a jungle or at work. Teamwork makes the dream work so to celebrate the ones that exemplify it the most. Launch a Team Player Award within the whole organization or department, and allow people to nominate and vote for their peers that truly live with the team-first mentality.
Use this Team Player Award template, customize the questions if you would like, make sure the right people are included, and voila. Once employees have a chance to vote, do a celebration and recognition awards call with your company currency as an award.
Managers make a break in an employee experience. As the quote goes: “People don’t leave jobs; they leave managers”. That is why it is important to celebrate the managers that set the mark high and empower their reports to be the best they can be. How do we do that? Easy-peasy. Use this Best Boss Award template to have the employees vote for the ones that inspire and guide them. Adjust the questions, including the right teams, and launch. Make sure to announce the results at the company all-hands or a celebration meeting.
The experience of an employee while at the company goes through many stages, learning curves, and all the things that make work rewarding at the end. Regardless of how long or short someone has been working at the company, they are likely to have some favorite moments. Could be anything from a customer call gone wrong to that time the company closed a Series B. Bring all those memories together with the Favorite Company Moment Flow and let employees vote on their favorite ones. Silly and fun moments make the culture stronger and remind everyone of the journey they’ve been on together.
Do you know what is a great way to make sure people keep recognizing and rewarding each other? Having rewards that people are ecstatic about. This is where Culture Rewards truly shine. More and more employees love to redeem their rewards for fun Culture Rewards like a lunch with a CEO, crazy hair for the boss, half a day off, etc. Find out the rewards people would love by launching a quick survey with this New Reward Idea template. Have people submit the new reward idea, vote on their favorites, implement it and watch the recognition explode.
If you are one of those companies that are ahead of the game with their commitment to company culture and already have a Culture Committee then this is a great opportunity to make their life a breeze with a simple Flow. Have a single place for all creative Culture Committee ideas, future events, discussions, and more. Gratitude from the team is guaranteed. Try out this Culture Committee Flow template to make their life easier and your company culture better.
