I'm thinking about giving them coffee kits since everyone seems to love drinking coffee in the office. The kit will probably include coffee beans, a mug, and still thinking of other things to fill in the extra box space.

Usually a $50 gift card. I wish it could be good news like a higher salary adjustment other than the 3%... At least it is better than nothing.

We typically just give out gift cards worth $50, but last year we wantrd to change things up a bit so we decided to give our employees Christmas care packages which included a box of chocolates, a scented candle, hot cocoa bombs and a voucher. They were all pretty pleased with it!

I would go for a gift card, not too much pressure on me as the one gifting and I wouldn't have to burden them by giving them something they cannot use. Win-win situation!

I do not gift all my employees as I have way to many. I gift some of them. I usually give them some tech or maintenance gifts because those are the departments i head.

Can I ask how you select who gets a gift?

Hello! We initially made a survey about their Christmas wishlist. Most employees answered gift cards, tumblers, and planners. We'll probably stick with gift cards this year.

This is a great idea!

I recently discovered that most of my team are bookish, so I opted to gift them books/novels that I thought they might find interesting depending on their personalities. I think it's a great way to make it a little more thoughtful than the regular old gift cards.

I recently joined a company of 400 people as the only Talent Acquisition Specialist. I feel like the role I'm doing is so much more than a Specialist level. I feel I'm being underpaid and my title doesn't actually align with what I'm doing. I feel like a Manager. I'm trying to recruit on 15+ different positions while trying to manage so many other ongoing projects and requests. How do I bring this up without sounding like I'm complaining? Is it worth saying something?

I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.

Hello HR folks. Overheard a conversation at work and am curious what is the norm.
If an employee goes out on FMLA, obviously the benefits person sends them the STD, FMLA paperwork etc. But is it the maagers responsibility to maintain communication with the person out on leave and to get a timeline on their return or would that be the benefits team? Or maybe the HRBP?
