Corporate Gifts To Beat The Credit Crunch
The value of corporate gifts cannot easily be dismissed as research shows us that companies who incorporate them into to their business practice, produce happier and therefore more effective workforces.
In the midst of the economic crisis however squeezing that extra money out of your already tight budget might look a little foolish at first glance.
After all firms are making wholesale changes simply to stay floating and that implies cutbacks and streamlining. Whilst your company should be building bridges it is burning them down creating stress and afterwards an unhealthy office where harmony and synergy should be flowing.
Naturally one of the implications of cut backs is low morale among the workforce and when this occurs your business itself can take a massive hit. This is where the corporate gift can become active.
The true charm of a corporate gift lies in its name. It’s a present from the company to the employee and who doesn’t like presents. By customizing the present you make the worker seem appreciated an element which has been proven to increase productivity by 50 percent.
So spending a little can produce long term gains as you build up your business’s culture and reputation which not only sends out a positive message but pulls better employees searching for a suggestive working environment.
Anyone that has worked in a call-centre will tell you the importance of those promotional packs, stress balls or fun-sized comedy dart boards.
The employee can use them as a crutch and remain both calm and professional at the same time. Thus everyone becomes a winner as a happy employee is much more likely to appease a disgruntled customer and your company saves face.
Of course the size of the gifts depends on your company’s budget. Yet not being able to kit out your whole workforce with company present packs is not the end of the world as there are thousands of ideas for each budget.
Whether it be a custom engraved box of Belgian chocolates to woo your overworked and understaffed help-desk or an insulated mug for your field agents, the options to connect with your employees are many.
One thing is for sure though, the message you send out as a company will be received with gratitude and that troublesome telephone call or customer will seem like a small problem to your worker rather than a nightmare chore.
So be it a bigger conglomerate or a little local economy research shows that company gifts can supply a thoughtful and cheap solution to bridging the opening between employer and worker making the all important transition from mere employee to company man in one dropped swoop.
Of course, as the expression goes, it is the thought that counts and that can only be taken as positive as studies show us a worker who feels valued is a valuable worker.
how synergy can be achieved between companies that are part of the same corporate conglomerate.?
By eliminating duplicate functions. Only one accounting department, not two. Only one HR group, not two. Only one sales force, not two. Most synergy savings comes from reducing personnel costs.
