Gift Ideas for Employees Returning to the Office in 2021

In early 2020, COVID turned all of our lives upside down.  We were all left scrambling to adjust as kids were sent home from their classrooms to attend school virtually at the same time many companies transitioned their employees from the office to the home.  

More than a year later both employers and employees have learned a lot about working from home.  In some cases employees and companies have thrived in this new virtual environment and in other cases productivity and employee morale has taken a hit.   With the biggest vaccine rollout in history well under way and COVID cases on the decline, companies are trying to decide how and when employees will come back to the office.   

Whether everyone returns at the same time or employers chose an hybrid model with employees splitting time between home and the office, it will be crucial to help employees feel safe and comfortable as they return to the office.  A recent survey show that 43% of employees would like to stay working at home even after the threat of COVID has passed.   


Back to the Office Gifts

As you consider gift ideas for your employees it might help to first identify your gifting objective.    We have worked with many companies, both small and large, the last few month to start designing back to the office gifts.   It seems that most organizations have two objectives with their giftinging campaigns.   First, help my employees feel safe working from the office again and second, show my team appreciation for everything they have done the past year.  To help get  you started listed below are creative gift ideas for both objectives.

GIFT IDEAS TO HELP EMPLOYEES FEEL SAFE IN THE OFFICE

Branded Face Masks

Branded Face Masks

While most of us already have a stack of face masks at home, a company branded facemask can be a great way for employers and employees to show their company spirit.  Even if your state doesn't require masks for employees returning to work,  you can help your employees, vendors and partners feel safe in your offices and other facilities with these masks and appropriate mask policies for your company.

 

Branded Hand Sanitizer

Branded Hand Sanitizer

Branded hand sanitizer is an easy way to bring peace of mind to employees as they return to the office and start touching shared surfaces such as door handles, copiers, etc.   Available from 1 oz bottles with clips to larger desk size bottles with pumps.  Hand sanitizer has become a staple item for all offices in 2021.  

Branded Sanitizing Wipes

Sanitizing wipes can still be hard to find at your local supermarket and your employees will really appreciate these wipes for use at the office or home.    Available single wipe packs or larger 10+ wipe packs.  Look for wipes with a 75% alcohol content if possible.
