Employee Birthday Celebrations: Gift Vouchers or Team Parties – What Do You Think?

Dear Friends,

Just wanted your opinion on which scheme is more attractive for employees' birthdays - gift vouchers or a (dept.) team party?

Thanks,
Bhanu Bhatia

Hi Fay,

I believe a team party is better. An employee would always have memories to take back. Moreover, it would make one feel so special.

Thank you.

Hi,

For both, a team party may be unofficially or officially with a gift voucher. In case any employee is absent on their birthday, you can give them the voucher(s) and there is no need to celebrate a belated party.

Regards,
Moushmi

My opinion:

1. Post-Birthday Greeting card. (Motivation)
2. Display Birthday Greetings on the company notice board. (Recognition)
3. Tea party with the Plant Head. (Interaction/Feedback)
4. Gift Voucher from the hand of the Plant Head. (Satisfaction)

Identify and fix any spelling or grammatical mistakes in the text.

Identify (or fix) a small notice board at a prominent place and just write "Happy Birthday to Mr/Ms ..........." This will motivate employees to wish/felicitate their colleague on his birthday.

Also, try to send a Greeting Card along with a small sweets packet to his residence in the morning, either through company staff or a private courier. Please try to give feedback.

Best Wishes,

I will suggest a small gift from the company along with the card duly signed by the HOD/VP. A small gift can be a pen with a pen stand with the employee's name engraved on it from the company side.
