Webinar: Appreciation During the Holidays
A "No Win" Situation?
The holiday season brings with it a lot of expectations within our culture. One historical expectation for many is that employers should communicate their employee appreciation in some way – either tangibly through a gift, stopping by to say ‘thanks’, or via a staff party. Challenges arise from these expectations. On the one hand, if nothing is done, the employer (or manager) is seen as being heartless and uncaring. If only a card is given (possibly with a small gift card), the employer could be viewed as stingy by only giving a token gift. But giving every employee a substantial gift may not be financially feasible or even practical. So what are employers and managers to do.
