It’s time to celebrate an employee’s birthday or work anniversary. The perfect occasion to make them feel extra special. Perhaps you already thought about showing appreciation for your employees on their birthday or work anniversary, but you don’t know where to start. Maybe you’re not sure what to give them? Or you’re scared of forgetting someone? Research* shows that the most popular present is a gift card. With Kadonation’s Happy Birthday service, giving birthday gift cards is a piece of (birthday) cake.
“4 in 10 employees like receiving a gift for their birthday or work anniversary”
After holidays and retirement, birthdays and work anniversaries are the occasions when employees most like to receive a gift from their employer. But they hardly ever get a birthday gift. Kadonation research* shows that 37% of employees would like to receive a gift from their employer on their work anniversary, and 42% on their birthday. Unfortunately, only one in ten actually gets one. A birthday or work anniversary is a special day and employers showing a little extra appreciation on that day alone leaves a really good impression on employees.
Why not give… a gift card
But what do you give someone on their birthday? According to research, the most popular present is a gift card. But at least 7 in 10 Belgians indicate that they would prefer to receive a gift card for different shops. The best part about a gift card is that the employee can spend it how they want.
Hassle-free Happy Birthday Service!
