An extra day of PTO for every year worked. It would automatically be added to the pto allotment on Jan 1. Even if you started Dec 31 you would get the extra pto day on Jan 1.
Ooh I love this idea. I used to work for a company that did this and I loved it. Thank you for sharing.
Birthdays are a paid holiday (Friday or Monday of their birthday falls on the weekend) and a $50 gift card to our company store (shirts, hoodies, some non-company things like jewelry, electronics etc.) and I personally send my team $20 DoorDash or Starbucks gift cards for their birthday lunch because we’re remote. My supervisor comes up to see me for my birthday and we just go to dinner. Work-aversaries get department recognition, $50 to 100 to the company store and usually we do an expensed zoom lunch once a quarter to celebrate all the anniversaries that quarter. We’ve done zooms baby and wedding showers as everyone has everyone’s addresses. We like to celebrate everything even if we can’t be together.
I don’t celebrate birthdays, only work anniversaries.
We send gifts via Snappy.com
I have stay interviews for milestone anniversaries. Have them highlight a coworker that has made an impact on them & send them a gift.
They’ll have to be taxed via payroll but it’s easy as you’re only billed once the employee selects a gift.
You’re able to send the gift notification via email and/or text.
Oooh I haven't heard of snappy.com before. I am going to check this out. Thank you for sharing.
Gift certs and a free day! I'm also curious what other companies do for their employees' birthdays. Might as well get some ideas :)
Hmm well, you can email or mail gift cards for small care packages, but someone would be required to keep up with that. But there are services you can setup to automatically send something to employees on their birthdays?
I would suggest using change engine or pan to automate birthday and mannnny other comms/events.
Have employees write a bucket list and give off of that, getting creative w/r/t price points if need be.
We usually send gifts like flowers or cookies, a bottle of wine.
We also use snappy.com, but only for work anniversaries. When someone reaches a milestone anniversary (5, 10, 15 years) then they are given a blueboard.com experience
