Gifts to Boost Office Morale and Employee Happiness

Gifts to Boost Office Morale and Employee Happiness

In today's technological world, it is easy to let the daily office grind take over. Employees are spending more time on their computers or phones than they are talking to each other. In order to maintain a healthy work environment and boost morale, there must be ways for staff members to interact with one another outside the office.

The best way to encourage connections and cultivate happiness is through an experience gift! Experience gifts are a fun, thoughtful way to connect with others and provide your employees with a memory they will never forget. Experience gifts can be anything that allows for a shared experience, from a day of surfing with friends, to attending a concert. The possibilities are endless! In order to find the perfect experience gift, it is important to have an idea of what your employees want and need. This will help you create a personalised experience that best suits them! If you already know what your employees enjoy, finding a personalised experience gift will be easy. But if not, we have carefully selected our favourite experience gifts for every type of team.

For young teams

Young teams have a lot to offer. All too often, young employees are put on the back burner or stereotyped as being just "kids." However, many younger staff members have a fresh perspective that can really benefit the company.

An easy way to boost morale amongst younger employees is with action-packed, active experience gifts. Young employees love nothing more than an exciting adrenaline rush and are craving the chance to have a blast with their co-workers. Rock climbing, abseiling, bungee jumping and zip-lining are just a few of the many experience gifts that will thrill your younger staff members.

Younger employees are often the life of the party, so a walking bar tour is a fantastic option. This spirit-filled experience will have them exploring hidden bars, sampling exciting cocktails and getting to know each other in a whole new way.

Not only do young employees love experience gifts because it’s something new and exciting to try, but also because it allows them to create and strengthen connections with their peers. You'll see great improvements in productivity and morale by giving them an experience gift!

For mature teams

Mature employees have seen and been through a lot. They are often seen as the "wisdom" of the company and can even be put on pedestals for their years at the company. However, this doesn't mean that they don't need team-building time or new experiences to keep them feeling fresh and happy in the office.

A dinner and drinks cruise is a great gift experience for mature teams. There is no better way to rekindle camaraderie than by spending an evening onboard a luxury boat, mingling with colleagues. Their night will be filled with delicious food, stunning scenery and live entertainment. It is a wonderful way to bring the team together and foster a sense of community.

If your mature employees enjoy experiencing new things or would like to get back in touch with nature, a kayak tour is a great gift idea! This unique experience will take them down the river on an evening or morning paddle. The gentle kayak and beautiful surroundings are sure to provide a much-needed change of pace. The calmness and serenity will do wonders for their stress levels and you will see their productivity, creativity and happiness soar!

For adventurous teams

Adventurous teams are the ones who never stop pushing themselves to try new things. These people have a sense of adventure that can often be contagious! They are always looking for the next thrill to keep them on their feet.

An experience gift like bungee jumping or sky diving would be perfect for this type of team. These gifts will give them the rush they are craving and it is a great way to bring people together in one activity.

Teams who are always on the go, a stunt driving experience would be another fantastic option. They will get to try their hand at some of the most iconic vehicles and complete a circuit of twists, turns and stunts. This is not only an exhilarating experience for your employees but it will also give them an opportunity to challenge themselves and work together as a team.

An exciting snorkelling expedition is another great experience for adventurous teams. I mean, who doesn't want an adventure under the sea? They'll get to explore a whole new world with their friends and have loads of laughs as they snorkel on the reef.

An adventurous gift will not only be loved by your team but also appreciated because it is a way for them to spend time with others outside of work and enjoy what they love doing most- being outdoors!

For busy teams

Busy team members are often spread too thin and don't have time to take care of themselves. They can be found at work, making dinner, taking care of the kids and managing their personal lives.

The gift experience that best suits this type of team is a spa day! A spa day is a great way to recognise their hard work and restore balance in their lives. This experience will allow them to reconnect with themselves and their colleagues in a blissful environment. Spa days are filled with relaxation, pampering, massage therapy and so much more so they'll be feeling refreshed and rejuvenated in no time.

It is often said that we feel better when we are in tune with what surrounds us, and this is never truer than for people who work in an office all day. A relaxing hike in nature is a great gift idea for strung out teams as it will allow them to recharge and refresh their minds without the distractions of work or family. They will get to experience the natural world and be one with nature for a day- now that's relaxing.

An experience gift voucher is a great way to recognise your team's hard work, encourage connections and boost employee morale. With so many experiences to choose from you are sure to find the perfect one for your type of team. We hope our suggestions have given you some ideas and inspiration for the next experience gift for your team.
