Celebrating Safely: How to Show Appreciation for Your Team During the Holidays

As we head into the holidays, things may look different this year, but you still can and should celebrate your successes! This year has been difficult for everyone, and it is important to show your gratitude for your team’s resilience and willingness to adapt. If you’re looking for ways to celebrate your wonderful team, SmileMakers is here to help with a few ideas. 

Thanksgiving

Plan a Remote Holiday Meal for Your Team

Thanksgiving

Nothing says “the holidays” like coming together for a warm meal. However, this year it may not be possible to gather around a table all together. Something you can do instead is host a socially distanced virtual meal for your team! Choose a local caterer and offer your team members the option to either pick up their meal and join virtually via a video conference or to enjoy in person while following social distancing practices.

This gives everyone on your team the choice of how they would like to celebrate while staying safe. Those who are looking for in-person socialization can come, and those who would rather enjoy a meal from the comfort of their own homes can do so. Remember to arrange a designated time for your employees to come pick up their pre-packaged, catered meal and provide them the link to hop on the video conference so you can all enjoy the delicious food together.

Send Out Care Packages

Thanksgiving

If you feel that a virtual holiday meal is not the best fit for your team, another option is to send out care packages to show your appreciation. Need ideas for what to include in your care package? Here are a few to consider:

  • Aromatherapy candles -- Help your team unwind and relax after a stressful year.
  • Box of goodies and treats-- Consider helping out a small business by asking a local bakery to make your order.
  • A house plant-- An easy-to-care-for plant like a snake plant or pothos will help spruce up their home environment.
  • Face masks with your logo-- This lets your team know you are thinking about them and also care about their safety. They’ll be proud to sport a facemask from their wonderful place of work.

After you’ve boxed up all of your goodies, you can either mail out your packages or drop them off individually for an added personal touch.
