Hi Bhoomika,
This policy cold be designed better only after the budget is fixed for it. Though, following are certain suggestions that you could look in to:
- A Card (with signatures from all employees) alon with a bouquet.
- Gift, depending on the budget.
- A get together where in all employee gather and cut the cake.
- A half day off on the bday; this policy gives employees enough time to spend with their family and friends.
- Coupons for shopping/ Lunch/ dinner with family could be another option.
Also, you could publish the name of the bday boy/girl on the notice board or intranet etc.
In our organisation, as of now we publish the birthdays of the month, send an e-mail to all on the day of bday.
We give away CRY cards and a bouquet; all employees get together and wish the person...and then the bday girl sings a song or entertain everybody in some or the other way..
It just gives every one break from work for few minutes.
January, 08 onwards we will introduce half day off on employee's birthday.
Hope all this information will help.
Regards
Bhavna
