Virtual Ways to Thank Employees at Year End

  Reading Time:

Organizations can reflect on team achievements at the end of the year and honor all of the efforts made by their personnel. Hope for the new year is beginning to emerge as the craziness of the previous year has finally faded into the distance. Businesses have demonstrated their tenacity and ability to weather the uncertainties of operating in a far-off land.

Despite obstacles, employees have virtually contributed and received the praise they merit. It's crucial to end the year with gratitude for those who went above and beyond as we get ready for the new year.

Here are some virtual gestures you may use to express your gratitude to your staff as the year draws to a close:

Promote Peer-to-Peer Recognition

It may be tremendously gratifying to hear praise from a coworker during a period of turmoil and isolation—possibly even more so than from their supervisor. Peer recognition of employees over the holidays encourages an atmosphere of gratitude and generosity. Employee appreciation strategies include developing a peer-to-peer recognition program and encouraging acts of peer thankfulness at company gatherings.

IceHrm's performance module makes it easier for you to get peer feedback with just a few clicks.

Employees are encouraged to live and breathe these principles by connecting recognition to the company's objectives and goals, which creates a sense of community throughout the firm. This strengthens a sense of belonging and promotes teamwork inside the workplace.

Provide a long weekend or day off for the staff

Employees may experience fatigue and disconnection due to the boring and repetitive nature of working from home during a pandemic. Many employees are reluctant to use vacation days or ignore communications because they worry about being behind or losing their manager's confidence. Giving employees an extra day off and emphasizing the value of vacation may go a long way toward letting them know their work-life balance is a top priority.

Employees may unwind, spend time with family, and reduce stress before returning to the workweek by being given a long weekend or extra day off over the holidays. People who are juggling childcare responsibilities or who are simply feeling overburdened by the regular barrage of bad news in the media will find this extra time to be extremely helpful.

Send an Individualized Thank You Note

Since the adoption of COVID-19, most communication between managers and employees takes place online. A handwritten note of gratitude is a unique and appreciated gesture that makes the recipient feel even more special. Include a personalized statement that emphasizes their achievements over the last year to raise morale and show appreciation for the employee's commitment and hard work. You may also include a gift card to a place you know the employee enjoys visiting as an added incentive, such a nearby eatery, bookshop, or coffee shop.
