Should you give staff rewards in a recession?

 Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

The current economic climate means companies more than ever before are feeling the pressure to re-evaluate expenditure and cut costs and overheads where they can. Whilst reducing employee benefits might be seen as a quick fix, the reality is that in the long term it’s a false economy.

Employees are the lifeblood of any organisation and looking after them and rewarding them is therefore crucial to enable any company or organisation to thrive. This is especially important during times of uncertainty and change, and employee benefits are one tangible way employers can show they care.
A good employer should want to look after their staff and reward them. As a result employees feel valued by the investment made in them and are more motivated to give their best. The health and future success of all organisations depends on its employees – so looking after them should be a top priority.

Using corporate gifts to reward and motivate staff is a tried and tested promotional tool; encouraging motivation and building loyalty. Of course, in times like these it’s hard to resist the temptation to cut back on business incentives, but corporate gifts can provide returns for in excess of their relatively low cost; a budget of £5, £10 or £20 spent on each member of staff will create much more then £20’s worth of increased productivity, increased morale and increased loyalty.

Unisex Corporate Gifts

Against the current economic landscape, there is one bright, promising prospect – there has been an increase in the number of FTSE 100 companies that have opted for more than one token woman on their boards. Thirty-nine companies have appointed multiple women to their boards. In 1999, only 13 FTSE 100 companies had more than one woman on its boards.

• A study from Cranfield School of Management showed:
• A huge pool of talented women
• Women are ambitious for board directorships
• Women holding company secretary and HR director roles are consistently over-looked as potential NED candidates.

A report launched by Ernest & Young in January 2009 entitled:” Groundbreakers – using the strength of women to rebuild the world economy” concludes:” that it is the time to use the resources of women to rebuild the world economy”.

So with executive incentives at executive and board level being traditionally male orientated, in the future you will need to source your corporate gifts to appeal to both male and female executives.

Here are The Corporate Gifts Co’s top 10 unisex gifts:

1. Sterling Silver Photoframe

2. Shoe Horn with Lint Brush

3. Aluminium Tokyo Luggage Bag
